Detector Tube System Field Leak Check Procedure

• A Step-By-Step Guide

2
Items required

• Detector Tube Pump
• New Tube
• Watch or Timer

3
Step 1

• Insert a new detector tube.

4
Step 2

• Align the red marks on the pump body and pump
  handle, so the handle will lock when extended.
• Extend the handle to the full-stroke lock
  position.

5
Step 3

• Wait one minute with the pump handle extended.

6
Step 4

• Release the handle carefully, by turning the
  handle 90 degrees in either direction.
• DO NOT LET GO. Ease the handle back slowly, but
  allow the handle to seek its own end point. A
  properly working pump will pull the handle back
  with considerable force.

Step 5

• Observe the return point of the handle.
• If the red line is visible, the pump has failed
  the leak test.
• If the red line is not visible, the pump has
  passed.
• If the pump fails, do not use it in the field.
  Follow the pump instructions for lubrication, and
  repeat the test.
• If the pump continues to fail, return it for
  warranty service.
