Key benefits Fast, reliable startup: poweron reset automatically stabilizes the circuit within 6 seconds after switchon, preventing false readings caused by residual signals from a connected probe or tester. Accurate halogen leak detection: builtin precision voltage regulator IC and ultralow power consumption design deliver stable sensor performance and extended battery life. Durable, serviceready construction: rugged build resists wear and tear for frequent field use in HVAC and refrigeration environments. Adaptive sensing: automatic followup function filters out background halogen concentrations so the detector focuses on active leaks. Features and performance Poweron reset: automatically adjusts circuitry within 6 seconds of powering up to ignore any existing probe/tester input and stabilize baseline readings. Automatic followup: continuously adapts to ambient halogen levels to reduce false positives from background gas and improve leak localization. precision voltage regulator IC: ensures consistent sensor drive voltage for stable, repeatable detection performance. Ultralow power consumption: extends battery runtime for longer periods of onsite work between battery changes. Robust construction: designed to withstand routine field handling; durable and not prone to premature wear. Compatibility and intended use Designed for HVAC and refrigeration technicians for detection of halogencontaining refrigerant leaks and general gas leak diagnosis. Compatible with standard leak detection probes and testers; ignores residual probe/tester signals on startup to provide accurate baseline readings. Practical applications (examples) Locating refrigerant leaks along HVAC line sets and service connections during routine maintenance. Verifying quality after replacing valves or fittings by checking for remaining halogen gas traces. Inspecting refrigeration systems in commercial kitchens or retail display cases to quickly identify and isolate leak sources. Why this tool matters Reduces downtime by stabilizing readings quickly at startup and focusing on active leaks rather than ambient halogen background. Improves onsite efficiency with stable, lowpower operation and a construction that stands up to regular HVAC field use.
