Key Features

Three-Minute Pressure Hold with TFT Status

Smoke, Air and Pressure-Hold Modes

Run Air mode or the three-minute pressure-hold routine before Smoke mode, then use visible smoke to inspect an indicated escape path.

Built-In Air Pump

The internal pump supplies test airflow from the 12 V power connection, keeping the pressure and smoke workflow in one unit.

TFT Result Display

The TFT shows the 180-second countdown and the routine’s PASS or ERR result for the configured sealed test.

Pressure Gauge and Flow Meter

Use the gauge for pressure and the flow meter for delivery while filling and checking the selected test volume.

Adjustable Flow and Pressure

Adjust pressure and flow gradually to the values permitted by the vehicle or component procedure.

Oil Level Gauge and Drain Valve

Check the oil level before use and drain aged or excess fluid before refilling or storage.

Overheat Protection

Temperature protection stops operation when the model reaches its protection condition; allow the unit to cool before further use.

Expanded Sealing Adapter Kit

The included sealing and connection accessories support different opening types; verify each adapter against the selected test point.

3 Years Warranty Support

Main unit: 3-year warranty. Standard accessories: 1-year warranty. Warranty Policy.

How to Use

Seal, Run the Hold Check, Add Smoke, and Inspect

Step progress1 / 6
01

Confirm the Procedure

Identify the target system, permitted pressure or threshold, access point, valve state and openings that must be sealed.

Safety & Compatibility

Use the Display Only with the Specified Test Setup

Match Pressure to the System

The machine rating is not permission to apply its maximum to every vehicle system. Use the OEM or component procedure and the lowest appropriate controlled setting.

Confirm Air and Power

Use a stable DC 12 V supply and the built-in pump. Confirm the selected unit’s maximum output rating before connecting a vehicle system.

Protect People and Components

Work in a dry, well-ventilated area away from flame and hot sources; use eye and hand protection and avoid directing smoke at smoke-sensitive or precision electronic parts.

Inspect Hoses and Adapters

Do not operate with damaged power leads, hoses or adapters. Clean an opening before inserting an inflatable airbag so sharp edges do not puncture it.

Use Approved Smoke Machine Fluid

Follow the model manual for fluid selection, fill level, draining and storage. Do not use water, viscous or corrosive liquids.

Use the Test Result to Guide Inspection

Use the screen result, pressure behavior, and escaping smoke to guide inspection. If the result is unclear, recheck isolation and the test setup.

Test Results

Read PASS or ERR Within the Programmed Test Conditions

Pressure Holds Within the Selected Threshold

The tested volume met the configured condition under this setup. Confirm that the threshold and procedure are correct before treating it as a pass.

Pressure Drops or Exceeds the Threshold

Check the machine self-test, connection and intentional openings, then use smoke to inspect for an escape path.

Smoke Escapes

Confirm the smoke is not leaving a normal open route, repair the verified leak and repeat the same test.

No Smoke Is Visible

Recheck setup and isolation, then investigate valve control, blockage, intermittent behavior or a non-leak cause as the vehicle procedure directs.

FAQs

Hold Test, Display, and Smoke Questions

What air source does SML400 use?

It has a built-in air pump powered from the machine’s 12 V connection.

Can I use the maximum pressure on an EVAP system?

Do not assume so. Choose pressure from the vehicle procedure; machine capacity and EVAP-safe pressure are different facts.

What does Air or Pressure-Hold mode tell me?

Use the displayed pressure behavior under the configured sealed setup to decide where further leak inspection is needed.

What does Smoke mode add?

Smoke gives a visible tracer for inspecting an escape path after the test volume is connected and isolated correctly.

What if no smoke is visible?

Verify smoke delivery, access, isolation, adapter sealing and valve state. Then continue with the applicable functional diagnosis because blockage, intermittent or non-leak faults may not produce visible smoke.

Are all pictured accessories included?

Use the listed package as the baseline and confirm every item and quantity for the selected version before purchase.

Does a visible leak guarantee the entire repair?

It identifies an area to inspect and confirm. Repair the verified problem and repeat the test, then complete any required vehicle checks.
