AUTOOL SDT205 Automotive Smoke Machine Leak Detector

AUTOOL SDT205Product OverviewThe AUTOOL SDT205 is a 12V automotive smoke leak detector with a built-in air pump, independent Air Mode and Smoke Mode, and a visual pressure gauge for low-pressure pipe leak checks. It helps locate leaks in intake, exhaust, vehicle sealing, fuel tank, pipe fittings, EVAP, vacuum, and other suitable low-pressure automotive systems.Built-In Air Pump Air / Smoke Mode Pressure Gauge 10-15ml Test Oil<15psiOutput Pressure<6L/minOutput Flow65WRated Power3 YearsWarranty Click to enlargeBefore You Order And UseBefore You Order And UseReview the 12V power requirement, test oil rule, operating time limit, overheat protection, and A/C system limitation before using the SDT205 smoke leak detector.12V Battery RequiredSDT205 must be connected to a DC 12V battery for operation. It is intended for 12V DC automotive testing environments.Testing Oil Not IncludedDue to logistics restrictions, testing oil is not included. Use liquid paraffin or baby oil as the testing liquid.Add 10-15ml OnlyFill 10-15ml testing oil before use. Do not exceed this range, because overfilling leaves less space for smoke generation.Refill When Smoke Gets ThinAdd fresh oil only when the smoke becomes thin. Do not add more than 15ml each time, and drain remaining old oil before refilling.8-Minute Use LimitDo not run the smoke leak detector continuously for more than 8 minutes. Allow interval rest between tests.75°C ProtectionThe intelligent protection system automatically shuts off power if the unit exceeds 75°C. Let it cool before restarting.Safety And Test Boundary ReminderThe round metal section can become hot during operation. Avoid direct contact to prevent burns.Do not refill test oil while the smoke detector is running.Keep smoke away from smoke-sensitive parts during leak detection.SDT205 cannot directly pressure-test an automotive A/C high-pressure system. It may only be used for segment-assisted pipeline checks under proper conditions.Key FeaturesKey FeaturesSDT205 combines a built-in pump, smoke generation, pressure observation, dual mode control, compact workshop design, and broad low-pressure leak detection coverage.Built-In Air PumpNo external air compressor is required. The integrated air pump saves setup time and is convenient for mobile automotive repair.Air Mode And Smoke ModeIndependent Air Mode and Smoke Mode switches let you use the built-in air pump and smoke generator according to the test need.Visual Pressure GaugeThe external gauge helps observe pressure behavior. A pressure drop may indicate a pipeline leak that needs further inspection and repair.Fast Smoke OutputThe machine begins producing smoke quickly, and the test pipe can be filled with smoke in about 30 seconds for visual leak location.Wide Low-Pressure Leak ChecksSuitable for intake, exhaust, vehicle sealing, fuel tank, pipe fittings, EVAP, vacuum, and other proper low-pressure test points.Portable Workshop DesignA compact body, handle, cone adapter, airbag adapter support, and 3-year warranty support make it practical for workshops and repair users.

What Testing Oil Should I Use For SDT205? Testing oil is not included due to logistics restrictions. If professional test oil is not available, buy liquid paraffin or baby oil locally and use it as the testing oil. How Much Testing Oil Should I Add? Add 10-15ml testing oil before use. Do not add more than 15ml each time. Refill only when the smoke becomes thin, and drain remaining old test oil before adding fresh test oil. If too much oil is added accidentally, drain some oil out before operation. Can SDT205 Detect EVAP System Leaks? Yes. AUTOOL smoke leak detectors can test leaks in EVAP systems. Use the proper EVAP testing tools and adapters according to the package contents and the vehicle test port. Can SDT205 Directly Test Automotive A/C System Leaks? No. Automotive A/C systems operate at about 1.7-3.0MPa output pressure, while AUTOOL smoke leak detectors generate around 0.1MPa. SDT205 cannot directly pressure-test an automotive A/C system for leaks. It may only be used for segment-assisted air-conditioning pipeline checks under proper conditions. How Can Smoke Be Used For Segmental A/C Pipeline Auxiliary Testing? First pressurize the air-conditioning pipeline using the proper method, then spray smoke and observe whether airflow disturbs or blows the smoke. If smoke is disturbed by airflow, that location may indicate a leak point for further repair. What Systems Can SDT205 Test? SDT205 supports suitable low-pressure leak checks for intake, exhaust, vehicle sealing, fuel tank, pipe fittings, EVAP, vacuum, and other proper low-pressure automotive pipelines. Keep smoke away from smoke-sensitive parts during testing. What Power Supply Does SDT205 Need? SDT205 uses DC 12V car battery power. Connect it to a 12V battery before operation, and do not use it outside its intended DC 12V power requirement. Can The Pressure Of SDT205 Be Adjusted? Most AUTOOL smoke leak detectors use fixed pressure. SDT MASTER allows pressure adjustment. SDT205 should be used according to its fixed safe pressure setup for common maintenance and testing needs. What Is The Difference Between SDT205 And SDT205S? Both SDT205 and SDT205S have a built-in air pump, pressure gauge, Air Mode, Smoke Mode, oil drain valve, and <15psi output pressure. SDT205S adds a flow meter window and flow adjustment knob, while SDT205 does not include these flow adjustment features. What Is The Difference Among AUTOOL Smoke Leak Detector Models? The AUTOOL smoke leak detector series includes SDT101 and SDT103 for EVAP systems around 3.2kPa, SDT106 for beginner use around 12psi, and SDT203, SDT205, SDT205S, SDT206, and SDT MASTER as standard and higher-end models around 15psi. SDT208 supports up to 35psi. Compare air source, pressure, flow, mode output, gauge, oil drain valve, and accessories before ordering. What Accessories Are Included? Different AUTOOL smoke leak detector models may include different accessories. Typical package contents may include hard rubber adapter kits, cone adapter, airbag adapter, EVAP testing tools, smoke hose, power cable, empty test oil bottle, user manual, warranty card, and certificate of qualification. Confirm the current package contents before ordering if accessories are critical for your use. How Long Is The Warranty For SDT205? AUTOOL provides up to 3 years of warranty support for eligible non-human damage cases. AUTOOL smoke leak detectors are sold online and offline in many countries and regions, with after-sales support for setup, accessories, and troubleshooting.Warranty And ContactWarranty And ContactFor SDT205 setup, testing oil, 12V power, EVAP tools, A/C auxiliary testing limits, package confirmation, accessories, no-smoke troubleshooting, or model selection, contact AUTOOL Store directly.Pre-Sales And Product SupportUse support if you need help confirming SDT205 test oil amount, oil refill rules, package contents, 12V battery setup, EVAP service tools, A/C auxiliary testing boundaries, smoke output behavior, pressure gauge reading, or comparison with other SDT smoke leak detectors.3-year warranty for eligible non-human damage casesTesting oil and 12V setup confirmationPackage content and accessory confirmationEVAP tool and A/C auxiliary testing explanationNo-smoke troubleshooting and replacement accessory supportSDT60 / SDT101 / SDT103 / SDT106 / SDT203 / SDT205 / SDT205S / SDT206 / SDT208 model selectionEmail Support[email protected] WhatsApp Support 86 189 2647 7404
