    3. Instructions / 4. Features

    3. Instructions
    1. Prior to first usage of the device remove the battery protection film.
    EN 2. Press the button to turn the unit on.
    3. The LED will flash orange for a short moment to indicate auto-reset,
    afterwards the unit will begin beeping and flashing green.
    4. To reset the unit to the existing level of ambient SF6 or alternative
    gases, press and release the button. The LED will flash orange briefly
    to indicate the reset. All levels of SF6 or its alternative gas less than
    the reset level will be ignored.
    5. Unit turns on in the low sensitivity level, which is adequate for most
    leaks. Press the button twice (double-click like a computer mouse).
    The LED will fade from red to green and a sweeping sound effect of
    low to high pitch will be heard. The sensitivity is now set for 3g/year
    (0.1oz/yr). This mode should only be used for looking for leaks of less
    than 14g/year (0.5 oz/yr).
    6. Double click again to change back to low sensitivity.
    7. Move the probe towards a suspected leak at a rate of less than 2
    inches (50 mm) per second, no more than ¼ inch (5 mm) away from
    the suspected source.
    8. If a leak exists, the sound will increase in rate and pitch and the LED
    will start flashing rapidly.
    9. To turn the GPD-1000 off, press and hold the button for 3 seconds.

    4. Features
    If the sensor is damaged, a sweeping alarm and a red-green flash will
    indicate the problem.
    A flashing LED during normal operation also reflects the battery level:
    ■■ Green: batteries are fresh
    ■■ Orange: batteries should be changed

    If the batteries are nearly empty, the LED will turn solid red and a
    14314459.02 01/2019 EN

    two-tone alarm will be noted for 5 seconds, before GPD-1000 will power
    itself off.
    If the unit is left on unattended, it will automatically turn off after about 5
    minutes to conserve batteries.

    5. Battery ... 8. Maintenance

    5. Battery installation and replacement


    1. Turn the power off.
    2. Remove the battery cover from the back of the instrument by pressing EN
    down while simultaneously sliding the cover back. Be careful not to
    lose the extra sensor stored in the battery compartment.
    3. Insert 2 size ‘AA’ alkaline batteries.
    4. Slide battery cover back into place.

    6. Sensor
    A GPD-1000 sensor will last between 25 and 30 hours of continuous use.
    A failed or failing sensor will be indicated in one of the following ways:

    1. Unstable or erratic operation of the unit and many false alarms, even
    in pure air.
    2. A continuous “siren” sound.

    If the sensor is exposed to a similar gas concentration for


    more than 120 seconds, the device will become accusto-
    med to the new concentration. To prevent or eliminate this
    effect, restart the unit or place the unit in an uncontaminated
    environment (no SF₆ or SF6 alternative gas).

    7. Sensor replacement
    In either case, replacement of the sensor is necessary:

    1. Turn the power off.


    2. Locate the replacement sensor in the battery compartment.
    3. Unscrew (turn counter clockwise) the old sensor from the end of the
    probe.
    4. Screw (turn clockwise) the new sensor into place.

    8. Maintenance / 9. Return and disposal

    8. Maintenance
    The GPD-1000 should provide years of service with little maintenance
    EN aside from changing batteries and sensors. The case may be cleaned
    with a shop towel moistened with water and a mild detergent. Do not use
    solvent of any kind.

    9. Return and disposal


    Strictly observe the following when shipping the instrument:
    All instruments delivered to WIKA must be free from any kind of hazar-
    dous substances (acids, bases, solutions, etc.) and must therefore be
    cleaned before being returned.

    When returning the instrument, use the original packaging or a suitable


    transport packaging. Remove the battery prior to shipment.

    Information on returns can be found under the heading


    “Service” on our local website.

    Incorrect disposal can put the environment at risk.


    Dispose of instrument components and packaging materials in an
    environmentally compatible way and in accordance with the country-
    specific waste disposal regulations.

    Do not dispose of with household waste. Ensure a proper


    disposal in accordance with national regulations.
