3. Safety Information

While the smoke produced by the Arctic Hayes Smoke Pen is non-corrosive and non-hazardous, it is important to follow these safety guidelines:

• Ventilation: Use in well-ventilated areas.

5. Operating Instructions

The Smoke Pen is designed for ease of use across various applications:

1. Lighting the Smoke Stick: Carefully light the exposed end of the smoke stick using a lighter or match. Allow it to burn for a few seconds until it produces a steady stream of white smoke.
2. Performing Tests: Direct the smoke towards the area you wish to test. The pencil-thin smoke pattern allows for precise observation of air movement.
• Leak Testing: Observe how the smoke moves to identify drafts, leaks in ductwork, windows, doors, or other enclosures.
• Airflow Studies: Visualize airflow patterns in ventilation systems, extraction arms, or around equipment.
• CO Spillage Checks: Conduct mandatory CO spillage checks of boiler/case sills after fitting or re-fitting to ensure proper sealing and ventilation.
• Smoke Alarm Testing: Use a small amount of smoke to test the functionality of smoke alarms.
3. Extinguishing: To extinguish the smoke stick, replace the cap firmly onto the pen. This will cut off the oxygen supply and stop the smoke production.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your Smoke Pen Kit:

• Smoke Stick Replacement: When a smoke stick is fully consumed or no longer produces smoke, press the button to release the remaining stub and insert a new smoke stick. Additional smoke sticks can be purchased separately.
• Cleaning: Periodically clean the pen holder to remove any residue from the smoke sticks. Use a dry cloth; do not use liquids.
• Storage: Always replace the cap on the pen after use to extinguish the smoke stick and protect it. Store the pen and unused smoke sticks in their original packaging or a suitable container in a cool, dry place.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Smoke Pen Kit, consider the following:

• No Smoke Production: Ensure the smoke stick is properly inserted and securely held by the claws. Verify that the stick is lit sufficiently. If the stick is old or damp, it may not light or produce smoke effectively; try a fresh stick.
• Smoke Stick Not Advancing: Check if the button mechanism is clean and free of debris. Ensure the smoke stick is not jammed.
• Excessive Smoke: If too much smoke is produced, ensure the cap is fully removed during use. The amount of smoke can be controlled by how much of the stick is exposed and lit.
