How to Install or Change the Sensor
A new PRO-Alert™ is shipped with its sensor packed separately. The sensor must be
installed in the PRO-Alert™ before use. This specialized sensor will operate for about
100 hours before it will need to be replaced.
1. Remove the rubber sensor cover by lifting at the outer edge.
2. If you are replacing a worn out sensor, remove the worn out sensor by pulling it
straight out of the socket and discard it.
WARNING
If you are replacing the sensor, the worn out sensor may be hot.
3. Remove the new sensor from its packaging.
4. Carefully align the three sensor leads (small wires coming out of the bottom of the
"can") with the three holes in the sensor socket. Insert the leads into the holes by
gently pressing straight down on the sensor until the sensor leads contact the
bottom of the socket. Be careful not to bend the sensor leads. See Figure 2.
5. Reinstall the rubber sensor cover by pressing it down firmly around the edges.
Be sure the edges of the cover are flat against the surface of the detector.

WARNING
Do not operate this instrument in the presence of gasoline,
natural gas, propane or in other combustible atmospheres.
How To Find Leaks
NOTE: A sudden whipping of the leak detector probe or "blowing" into the sensor tip will
affect the air flow over the sensor and cause the instrument to emit a leak signal.
1. Place the tip of the leak-detector probe as close as possible to the site of the
suspected leak. Try to position the probe within ¼ inch (5 mm) of the possible leak
source.
