5. Enstriksyon Enstalasyon
Follow these steps to prepare your ANCEL S300 for use:
- Fill with Test Oil: Open the oil filler port (F) and use the provided funnel to add 10ml-20ml of test oil (baby oil) into the detector. Do not overfill. Check the oil window to ensure the liquid level is correct.
- Install Power Cord: Connect the power cord to the power socket (J) on the device.
- Install Smoke Hose: Connect the delivery hose to the Air/Smoke Output (E).
- Monte aparèy la: Use the hook (A) to hang the device securely on the vehicle's front hood or a stable surface.
- Konekte ak pouvwa: Connect the alligator clips of the power cord to a 12V car battery (red to positive, black to negative).

6. Operasyon Enstriksyon
The ANCEL S300 offers two operating modes for comprehensive leak detection:
6.1. Air Mode (Initial Leak Check)
- Switch the Mode Selector (H) to the Air Mode (left position, fan icon). The Air Mode LED (C) will illuminate.
- Connect the delivery hose to the system you wish to test (e.g., intake manifold, exhaust pipe).
- Observe the Pressure Gauge (G) and Flow Meter (B).
- No Leak: If the pressure gauge value remains unchanged and the flow meter reads zero (ball at bottom), there is no leakage.
- Small Leak: If the pressure gauge value drops and the flow meter ball slowly falls to the bottom, a small leak is present.
- Massive Leak: If the pressure gauge value drops to zero and the flow meter ball never falls to the bottom, a large leak is present.
- This mode helps determine if a leak exists before using smoke, saving test oil.
6.2. Smoke Mode (Pinpointing Leaks)
- After confirming a leak with Air Mode, switch the Mode Selector (H) to the Smoke Mode (right position, cloud icon). The Smoke Mode LED (I) will illuminate.
- The device will begin generating smoke within 10 seconds.
- Use the Flow Dial (D) to adjust the smoke output volume as needed to pinpoint the leak.
- Direct the smoke into the suspected area of the vehicle system. Observe where smoke escapes to identify the exact leak location.

8. Antretyen
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ANCEL S300, follow these general maintenance guidelines:
- Regularly check the test oil level and refill as needed.
- Use only clean, recommended test oil (baby oil) to prevent clogging or damage.
- After each use, ensure the device is clean and free from any residue.
- Sere aparèy la nan yon kote ki fre epi sèk, lwen limyè solèy dirèk ak tanperati ekstrèm.
- Evite jete oswa sibi aparèy la nan gwo enpak.
The ANCEL S300 utilizes a 5th generation technology with isolated heat conduction, designed for durability and safety, reducing the risk of internal component burnout common in older models.

NAN. Depanaj
If you encounter issues with your ANCEL S300, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Pwoblèm: The pump functions, but no smoke is generated, and the red button (Smoke Mode LED) is flashing.
- Kòz posib: Insufficient test oil or incorrect oil type.
- Solisyon: Ensure the test oil level is between 10ml-20ml and that you are using appropriate test oil (e.g., baby oil). If the oil level is too low, the heating element may not be able to produce smoke effectively, and the flashing red light could indicate a safety or operational alert related to this.
