AUTOOL SDT106Product OverviewThe AUTOOL SDT106 smoke test machine is an entry-level automotive piping leak detection tool with a built-in air pump. It helps technicians and DIY users find low-pressure leaks in automotive pipe systems, including intake, exhaust, EVAP, car sealing, fuel tank, and various pipe fitting checks. The hook design makes it easier to hang the unit during work, and the detector runs from a DC12V battery.Built-In Air Pump DC12V Battery 10-15ml Test Oil <12psi Output<5L/minOutput Flow50WRated Power210×135×110mmMain Unit3 YearsWarranty Click to enlargeBefore You Order And UseBefore You Order And UseBefore starting a leak test, confirm the DC12V power requirement, testing oil rule, operating time limit, overheat protection, and hot-surface warning.DC12V Battery RequiredThe SDT106 smoke detector must be connected to a DC12V battery before operation. Do not use an incompatible power source.Testing Oil Not IncludedTesting oil is not included due to logistics restrictions. Buy liquid paraffin or baby oil locally for use as the testing liquid.Add 10-15ml OnlyFor first use, fill 10-15ml testing oil. Do not exceed this range, because overfilling leaves less space for smoke generation.Refill Only When Smoke Is ThinOnly add fresh oil when the smoke becomes thin. Limit each fill to no more than 15ml.Drain Old Oil FirstBefore filling fresh oil, pour out the remaining oil in the detector and replace detector oil regularly.8-Minute Use LimitDo not run the detector continuously for more than 8 minutes. Let the unit rest between test cycles.Safety ReminderDuring leak detection, keep smoke away from smoke-sensitive parts.The round metal section of the detector may become hot during operation. Avoid direct contact to prevent burns.If the internal temperature exceeds 75°C, the intelligent protection device shuts off the power automatically. Wait until the unit cools before operating it again.The unit can work in low-temperature environments down to -20°C under proper conditions.Do not refill oil while the detector is running.Key FeaturesKey FeaturesSDT106 focuses on simple low-pressure automotive leak detection with a built-in pump, quick smoke output, compact hanging design, wide 12V vehicle coverage, and built-in protection.Built-In Air PumpNo extra air pump is required. The built-in air pump helps reduce setup time and lowers the cost of entry for basic automotive smoke leak testing.Quick Smoke OutputThe detector starts producing smoke quickly after power-on. Allow the test pipe to fill with smoke before checking leak points visually.Lightweight Hook DesignThe compact body and hook design make it easier to hang the unit under the engine cover during inspection, transport it, and store it after use.Low-Pressure Leak DetectionSuitable for low-pressure checks on EVAP, intake, exhaust, fuel tank, car sealing, and common vehicle pipe fitting systems.Wide 12V Vehicle CoverageCan be used for leak checks on cars, motorcycles, snowmobiles, off-road vehicles, ATVs, light trucks, and speedboats that match the DC12V use requirement.Overheat And Low-Temperature ProtectionThe protection device turns off power when the unit exceeds 75°C, and the machine supports low-temperature operation down to -20°C under proper conditions.

What Testing Oil Should I Use For SDT106? Use liquid paraffin or baby oil as the testing liquid. Testing oil is not included due to logistics restrictions, so you need to buy it locally before using the smoke tester. How Much Testing Oil Should I Add? For first use, add 10-15ml testing oil. Do not exceed this range. Only refill when the smoke becomes thin, limit each fill to no more than 15ml, and pour out the remaining oil before adding fresh oil. Does SDT106 Need A 12V Battery? Yes. The AUTOOL SDT106 smoke leak detector requires a DC12V battery connection to operate. Confirm the power supply before starting a test. How Long Can SDT106 Run Continuously? Do not run the detector for more than 8 minutes continuously. Let the unit rest between uses to protect the machine and maintain stable operation. What Happens If The Unit Gets Too Hot? If the detector exceeds the working limit, such as over 75°C, the intelligent protection system automatically turns off the power. Wait for the detector to cool before operating it again. What Systems Can SDT106 Test? SDT106 is suitable for low-pressure leak checks on automotive pipe systems, including EVAP, intake, exhaust, fuel tank, car sealing, and various pipe fittings. Keep smoke away from smoke-sensitive parts during detection. What Vehicles Can Use SDT106? SDT106 can be used for leak checks on cars, motorcycles, snowmobiles, off-road vehicles, ATVs, light trucks, and speedboats that match the DC12V use requirement. It is intended for low-pressure vehicle piping leak detection. Can SDT106 Be Used For High-Pressure System Testing? SDT106 is designed for low-pressure smoke leak detection, with rated output pressure below 12psi. Do not use it as a high-pressure pressure-testing tool. What Accessories Are Included? Refer to the Packing List image for the final package contents. The package shows the SDT106 main unit, DC12V battery clamp cable, smoke hose, cone adapter, airbag adapter, rubber plugs, other accessories shown in the image, an empty oil bottle, user manual, and retail box. Testing oil is not included. What Is The Difference Between SDT106 And Other AUTOOL Smoke Detectors? SDT106 is an entry built-in-pump model with smoke mode, DC12V power, <12psi output pressure, and <5L/min output flow. SDT203 adds a pressure gauge and flow adjustment. SDT205 and SDT205S support air mode and smoke mode. SDT206 uses a built-in dual air pump. SDT208 supports high pressure and low pressure modes. What Should I Do If The Smoke Becomes Thin? Stop operation first. Drain the remaining oil in the detector, then add fresh liquid paraffin or baby oil. Do not add more than 15ml at one time. How Long Is The Warranty?
