INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Formulated strictly for use by Licensed Professionals.
1. Get access to exterior surfaces of the heat exchanger, by
removing the necessary panels.
2. If necessary, temporarily by-pass the cover safety interlock
switch only for the duration of the test.
3. Set thermostat for burner ignition. The induced draft blower
pulls the combustion chamber to a reduced pressure. This will
allow QwikDetector® to pass through any cracks and ow into
the combustion chamber.
4. Spray QwikDetector® on the exterior surfaces of the heat
exchanger while observing the ame color. If the ame color
changes to orange while spraying there is a leak in the heat
exchanger, since the QwikDetector® is getting through
defects in the heat exchanger and altering the combustion.
This is a potentially hazardous condition and must be corrected
immediately or the furnace disabled. If no color change is
observed, proceed to step # 6.
5. Optional Step: If a leak is discovered, you can remove the heat
exchanger, and ll it with water to clearly demonstrate the
leak to the equipment owner. Alternatively, you can show the
equipment owner the color change in the ame and explain
how their heat exchanger is leaking, as demonstrated by the
color change of the ame.
6. If a bypass was installed in step 2, it should be removed at this
time. Check for proper operation of the safety interlock device.
7. Replace the cover on the Indoor fan compartment and check
the system for proper operation.
QwikDetector® provides a clear and immediate indication if the integrity of a heat
exchanger has been damaged which could allow hazardous combustion gasses to enter
into the air supplied to the building.
WARNING: QwikDetector® provides a clear and immediate
indication if the integrity of the heat exchanger has been damaged
which could allow hazardous combustion gasses to enter into the
air supplied to the building. If a leak is discovered, do not return the
furnace to service.
