Before You Order And Use

Before You Order And Use

Review the 12V power requirement, testing oil rule, operating time limit, overheat protection, and hot-surface warning before using the SDT100 smoke test machine.

12V Battery Required

The SDT100 automotive smoke tester must be connected to a DC 12V battery to operate.

Testing Oil Not Included

Due to logistics restrictions, testing oil is not included. Buy liquid paraffin or baby oil locally for use as the testing fluid.

Add 10-15ml Only

Fill 10-15ml testing oil before use. Do not exceed this range, because overfilling leaves no space for smoke generation.

Refill When Smoke Becomes Thin

Only refill when smoke becomes thin. Do not add more than 15ml at a time, and drain remaining test oil before adding fresh oil.

8-Minute Use Limit

Do not operate the smoke leak detector continuously for more than 8 minutes. Allow it to rest between uses.

75°C Protection

The intelligent protection system automatically shuts off if internal temperature exceeds 75°C. Wait for the unit to cool before restarting.

Safety Reminder

  • The metal round section of the smoke tester can become hot during operation. Avoid direct contact to prevent burns.
  • Do not refill oil while the smoke tester is running.
  • If the machine stops due to protection, cool it with the built-in air pump and restart after the temperature drops.

    This is great! Easy to use! I used a small amount of baby oil. It makes a very good amount of smoke. It connects with clamps to your positive and negative battery cable so it’s totally portable to use outside if you’re not able to work on your car at home. This has helped me find vacuum leaks with ease.
