1. Introduzione
The AUTOOL SDT106 Automotive Smoke Leak Detector is a professional tool designed for quickly and accurately diagnosing leaks in various automotive pipe systems. This device generates smoke to help visualize leaks in systems such as EVAP, intake, exhaust, fuel pipes, and general car sealing. It features a built-in air pump and operates on a DC 12V vehicle battery, making it a portable and efficient solution for automotive diagnostics.
2. Informazioni sulla sicurezza
Per un funzionamento sicuro, osservare quanto segue:
- The Smoke Leak Detector is equipped with high-temperature protection. If the equipment senses a temperature above 75°C, the power supply will automatically shut off to prevent overheating.
- The device also features a pressure-limit protection. If the air pressure exceeds the Standard mode (35psi) or EVAP mode (10psi), the air pump will stop working. This ensures the safety of both the operator and the equipment.
- Always ensure proper ventilation when operating the device.
- Use only recommended test oil (baby oil or mineral oil) for smoke generation.
- Evitare di riempire eccessivamente il serbatoio dell'olio.
- Connect the device only to a DC 12V car battery, observing correct polarity (red to positive, black to negative).

- Prepare for Test: Identify the pipe system you wish to test for leaks. Disconnect the pipe that needs to be connected with the detector. Use appropriate adapters (cone, rubber plugs, EVAP connector) to seal off the system and introduce the smoke hose.
Image: A mechanic preparing a car engine for a smoke test, showing the intake system. Text Description: A person is shown inserting the smoke hose into a car's intake system, which is sealed with a black cone adapter. The smoke machine is visible in the background.
- Eseguire il test di tenuta: Insert the smoke hose into the system being tested. The smoke will fill the pipe system. Observe for any visible smoke escaping from cracks, loose connections, or damaged areas, which indicates a leak.
Image: Smoke being injected into a car engine's pipe system to detect leaks. Text Description: A person is directing the smoke output from the detector into a hose within the car's engine bay. Smoke is visibly escaping from a connection point, indicating a leak.
- Monitorare la pressione: The unit features a pressure gauge with precise scales. Monitor the pressure during the test to ensure it remains within safe operating limits (35psi for Standard, 10psi for EVAP). The air pump will automatically stop if pressure limits are exceeded.
- After Test: Once the leak is identified or the test is complete, turn off the unit. Disconnect the power clamps from the battery and remove the smoke hose and adapters from the vehicle.
