What Is Different About the AUTOOL Smoke Leak Detector New Version?

What is the difference between AUTOOL’s two newest smoke leak detectors, the SDT50 and SDT60? What are their prices? How do they compare to other smoke leak detectors launched in the past?

AUTOOL SDT50 and SDT60 auto smoke leak detectors are entry-level automotive pipeline leak detection tools. They can accurately detect various leaks in automotive pipeline systems, helping maintenance technicians locate leaks and solve problems quickly.

Smoke generation principle

How Does the AUTOOL Smoke Leak Detector Work?

The AUTOOL Smoke Leak Detector employs a forced combustion smoke generation method in a low-oxygen environment. It is energized by a conductive column to the heating wire, which rapidly heats up to more than 300°C so that the mineral oil reaches the ignition point and enters the combustion state.

Because the intake airflow is small, it is insufficient to provide enough oxygen for full combustion. The combustion mainly occurs on the surface of the heating wire. Under high-temperature heating, the mineral oil around the heating wire continues to burn insufficiently, producing a large amount of smoke for leak detection.

About SDT50 and SDT60 Smoke Leak Detector

Before the release of SDT50 and SDT60, AUTOOL had already launched a series of smoke leak detectors to address diverse customer needs and different functional requirements. The SDT50 and SDT60 feature smaller size, cost-effectiveness, and convenient storage and carrying for daily work.

The new SDT50 and SDT60 models include an integrated air pump, eliminating the need for an external air source. They are ready to use and easy to operate while retaining the inherent benefits of the SDT101 and SDT103 models.

Compared with other products such as SDT206, SDT208, and SDT205, the new SDT50 and SDT60 have fewer air flow meters, oil level gauges, oil drain ports, alarm indicator designs, and more. The biggest difference between SDT50 and SDT60 is that SDT60 comes with its own pressure gauge.

SDT60 pressure gauge

What Is the Purpose of the Smoke Detector Machine Pressure Gauge?

The smoke detector machine pressure gauge has two main functions. One is machine self-test, and the other is pre-assessment of the pipeline system.

  • Pointer keeps stillThis represents that there is a relatively serious leak in the pipeline.
  • Pointer rises slowlyThis indicates that there is a leak in the system. In this case, you can turn on the smoke switch to output smoke and locate the leak.

Smoke Detector Machine Getting Started Guide

If this is your first time using AUTOOL’s Smoke Leak Detector, the original article focuses on four common preparation and operation questions.

1. What Do I Need to Do Before Using a Smoke Leak Detector?

Install the hook onto the hook port and hang it under the hood. Open the filling cap and drain 10ml of test liquid into the filling port.

2. Why Doesn’t My Smoke Leak Detector Produce Smoke and Why Does Liquid Come Out?

Many customers add too much smoke oil when using the device for the first time. This can cause both no smoke output and liquid leakage because the space inside the device is limited. If too much smoke oil is added, there is not enough space to produce smoke.

  • Make sure there is only 10-15ml of smoke test oil in the smoke leakage meter.
  • If too much oil has been added, pour out all the smoke test oil.
  • After pouring out all smoke oil, turn the device on first.
  • When the product produces smoke, add about 10ml of smoke test oil.

3. What Smoke Test Oil Do I Need to Use?

Many customers have questions when using AUTOOL smoke leak detectors for the first time. This product needs to use special test oil. It may also use liquid paraffin or baby massage oil instead.

4. How Do I Proceed Once I Have Made These Preparations?

  • When everything is ready, install the smoke hose to the smoke outlet and the power cord to the power connector.
  • Connect the red clip to the positive terminal (+) and the black clip to the negative terminal (-).
  • This detector only allows the use of a DC 12V car battery as a power source.
  • For optimum smoke leak detector performance, the car battery should be fully charged in advance.
  • The built-in air pump starts to work and produces pressurized air after power is connected.
  • Press the smoke control switch, the LED indicator lights up, and the detector starts working and generating smoke.
