Fluorescent Leak Detector

NOTE:

Always use UV protective eyewear when working with UV light.

Fluorescent dye will assist in locating any leaks in the A/C system.

NOTE:

PAG oil is water soluble.

Condensation on the evaporator core or the refrigerant lines may wash the PAG oil and fluorescent dye away from the actual leak. Condensation may also carry dye through the HVAC module drain.
Leaks in the A/C system will be indicated in a light green or yellow color when using the leak detection lamp.
Use the leak detection lamp in the following areas:
- All fittings or connections that use seal washers or O-rings
- All of the A/C components
- The A/C compressor shaft seal
- The A/C hoses and pressure switches
- The HVAC module drain tube, if the evaporator core is suspected of leaking
- The service port sealing caps
  The sealing cap is the primary seal for the service ports.
Follow the instructions supplied with the GE-42220 Universal 12V Leak Detection Lamp.
To prevent false diagnosis in the future, thoroughly clean the residual dye from any area where leaks were found. Use a rag and the approved GE-43872 Fluorescent Dye Cleaner.
