Οδηγός εγκατάστασης
Follow these steps to prepare your ANCEL S200 for leak detection:
- Προσθήκη λαδιού δοκιμής: Open the oil filler port on the top of the unit. Use the provided funnel to carefully pour approximately 20ml of test oil (e.g., baby oil) into the unit. Observe the oil level gauge to ensure it does not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can lead to oil spills.
- Εγκαταστήστε το Hook: Screw the hanging hook into the designated port on the top of the unit. This allows you to hang the device securely during testing.
- Συνδέστε το καλώδιο ρεύματος: Insert the power cord into the power socket on the unit. Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal of your vehicle's 12V battery and the black clamp στον αρνητικό (-) ακροδέκτη.
- Install Smoke Hose: Connect the delivery hose to the air/smoke output port on the unit.

Οδηγίες Λειτουργίας
The ANCEL S200 offers two primary operating modes for effective leak detection:
1. Air Mode
In Air Mode, the unit generates air pressure without smoke. This mode is useful for a quick preliminary check to determine if a leak exists before introducing smoke. It helps in identifying larger leaks or confirming system integrity.
2. Λειτουργία καπνού
In Smoke Mode, the unit generates thick, visible smoke to accurately pinpoint the exact location of leaks. This is the primary mode for detailed leak detection.
Leak Detection Process:
- Επιλογή λειτουργίας: Use the mode selector switch on the unit to choose between Air Mode (fan icon) or Smoke Mode (smoke icon).
- Σύνδεση στο σύστημα: Attach the appropriate adapter cone or intake bladder to the system you wish to test (e.g., intake manifold, exhaust pipe, EVAP port). Ensure a tight seal.
- Activate Unit: Turn on the unit. In Smoke Mode, smoke will generate quickly, typically within 10 seconds.
- Παρατηρήστε το μανόμετρο: Monitor the built-in pressure gauge. A significant drop in pressure indicates a leak.
- Εντοπίστε τη διαρροή: In Smoke Mode, observe for smoke escaping from any part of the system. The smoke will clearly indicate the leak's location.

Leak Detection Applications
The ANCEL S200 is capable of detecting leaks in a wide range of automotive systems:
- Σύστημα EVAP: Leaks can lead to increased fuel consumption and reduced engine performance.
- Intake System: Critical for engine performance and fuel efficiency.
- Σύστημα εξάτμισης: Leaks can cause high emissions, slower acceleration, and abnormal noise.
- Crankcase System: Important for engine lubrication and pressure regulation.
- Fuel Tank System: Essential for fuel integrity and safety.
- Σύστημα ψύξης: Prevents engine overheating.
- Turbo System: Ensures optimal turbocharger performance.
- Car Sealing: Detects leaks in door seals, window seals, and other cabin areas.

Συντήρηση
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your ANCEL S200, regular maintenance is recommended:
- Ελέγξτε τη στάθμη λαδιού: Periodically check the oil level through the transparent window. Refill with appropriate test oil when the level is low. Do not overfill.
- Clean Smoke Hose: If oil drops are observed from the output, it may indicate normal smoke condensation or a need to clean the hose. Periodically blow out the smoke hose with an air gun to clear any blockages or condensation.
- Αποθήκευση: Αποθηκεύστε τη μονάδα σε δροσερό, ξηρό μέρος όταν δεν τη χρησιμοποιείτε.
