5.3.2 Using the water conservation sniffer tip
If there is a risk of sucking in liquids then a water conservation tip should be used, see
"10.1 Accessories and spare parts", page 67 .
You can use the water conservation sniffer tip to check test objects with low surface mois-
ture, e.g. condensation moisture, for leaks.
► Screw the water conservation sniffer tip to the end of the filter holder.

Do not hold the sniffer line with the sensor pointing up since moisture will flow into the
sensor as a result. If liquid has been spilled in the direction of the sensor, hold the sniffer
line with the tip pointing down and run the device for about 10 minutes.
5.3.3 Use flexible sniffer tips
If you are examining test objects which have already been packed or test objects with
areas that are difficult to access then an extended sniffer tip can be used,
see "10.1 Acces-
sories and spare parts", page 67 .
In addition to the rigid sniffer tip what comes delivered with the HLD6000 you can also use
a 400 mm long flexible tip. By bending the flexible tip accordingly, hard-to-reach areas can
also be accessed.
Risk of short circuit
Sucked in liquid can destroy the device.
► Do not suck up liquids with the device.
