Is this tester only for use on empty cooling systems,or can it be used to test for leaks on a full system?

It is not designed to. The unit works by blowing air through a venturi valve that creates a vacuum in the cooling system (to the tune of 24-26"). If there is much coolant in the system, it will blow it out the venturi resulting in quite a mess. (it even sucked some residual coolant out of mine after I'd drained it) The UView works very well for its intended purpose, I just don't think your application is it. If you know you have a leak, it will help you find it. It also works great for refilling the system. You suck the empty system to vacuum, flip a couple valves, and it'll suck a gallon of antifreeze dry in a few seconds.

Yep, the whole thing , and it's not going to do anything for you when you do. What this does is help the water in your coolant cool the engine, so it's only going to work on half your coolant, and only when your thermostat is open, and will not drop temperatures, only help regulate them to normal temps. This kind of product is best used as aforementioned, in a 70/30 split, and usually only in high load/low speed applications like towing or off roading.

I think it is for Reset the pc will have to check never heard of it being OC or Fan control

You can use it to test whole house gas lines. You just need to make sure that the valves at the various appliances are shut off and not leaking. Also you may need some adaptors to hook up to different diameter gas lines.

I purchased it, and it never worked. The company did not honor the warranty, but they thought that the problem was a faulty pump on a new unit. They offered to repair it (a new unit) at a reduced cost. Obviously, I did not send good money after bad. I ended up with an over priced barely adequate fan, not a cooler. Hope this answers your question.

Nope it was ultra weak! Try another brand. I found a dye leak tester at a local auto store for about 20 that worked well for that

This is a conductivity tester. The fluid being tested is irrelevant as long as it has the ability to absorb moisture. The tester is calibrated to present a moisture content of brake fluid.

I used this valve works perfect , but refilled a mini fridge that was R12 with 134A worked perfect fort 2 weeks then system total failer . Might be a temp fix but system won't last. Sorry

If it is hot water the wall propably is quite warm near the leakage on a pretty large area. In that case B&D of course might detect the leakage. B&D and other thermal leak detectors only measures the temperature of a surface.

This device is intended to measure the temperature of surfaces, as walls, floors, ceilings and such. IF you had a warm wall with cold water leaking behind it, OR a cold wall with hot water leaking behind it, the device may be able to detect that, but I certainly wouldn't want to guarantee that. If you have water leaking behind a wall, it would seem as you should see some puddling, weeping, or evidence of water in the area ??Russ Pratt, Webster, MA

In my opinion, this tester is suitable for detecting good from dead batteries, and that's how I use it. For anything that is not full but has some life left in it, I would treat it as dead and in need of charge.

Yes. You decide what pressure you pump the cooling system up to. The real advantage of this device is that you can pressurise the systemwhen it is cold. This means that any fluid that leaks will not immediately evaporate and you can put your fingers in places you can not see to feel if there is dampness without burning your skin.

Hello Vikas, firstly you need to determine the source of the leak. It is most likely from one of the connections. Try to isolate which one. If that is the case you can easily fix it yourself by checking each one and making sure that they are tight. If it is coming from the body of the unit then you should return it because that would mean that the product is defective. The instructions aren't great. I would gladly send you a picture of the unit already connected so that you could see it more easily but I don't think there is a way of attaching a picture to my answer. Best of luck.

The sensor that I bought measures temp, humidity and does leak detection. I use it in the laundry room and to monitor the AC system evap trap.

I'm using it for basically the same thing, blowing down into the top of a power amp to cool the main heatsink. Works great and it's silent. Based on my experience with other similar fans and all the servers/workstations I've serviced I expect many years of use.

I think it should work because you can use this smoke machine to check brake lines, EVAP system, exhaust system, and intake manifold leaks. I don't see why you can't use it for a/c system or air brakes. the only thing is make sure that you empty the system you are checking.

I have no way to test it, but I really dont think it goes both ways. Best way to tell is chat with them online through http://www.startech.com/Good luck
