Inficon 716-202-G1 D-TEK CO2 Refrigerant Leak Detector Review



Inficon 716-202-G1 D-TEK CO2 Refrigerant Leak Detector Feature

  • This hand-held refrigerant leak detector is designed especially to detect carbon dioxide
  • Highly sensitive and longer lasting and lower risk of false alarms
  • Accurate and reliable performance is consistent time and again
  • You will buy fewer replacement parts due to the 800 hours lifespan of the infrared sensor cell
  • Features a sensor failure indication and warning of low battery

Provides Consistent, Accurate Responses to Next Generation Refrigerant

As the first accurate, reliable, highly sensitive, cordless refrigerant leak detector, the original D-TEK revolutionized the field. Now we have built on that technology leadership with the D-TEK CO2, the only hand-held refrigerant leak detector designed especially to detect carbon dioxide, the next generation refrigerant.

Highly Sensitive, Longer Lasting

The D-TEK CO2 uses an innovative infrared absorption sensing cell which is extremely selective to carbon dioxide, yet its circuitry allows the instrument to equalize to the CO2 present in the atmosphere, so there is minimal risk of false alarms. D-TEK CO2 maintains its sensitivity over time for consistent, accurate and reliable performance. Its specialized infrared sensor cell lasts for approximately 800 hours, so you buy fewer replacement parts.

Additional features include a charging status indicator, sensor failure indication, sensor test mode and rechargeable NiMH (nickel metal hydride) batteries.

Features at a Glance

  • 6 gm/year sensitivity
  • low risk of false alarms because it equalizes to the CO2 present in the air
  • 800-hour infrared cell life for low cost of ownership
  • consistent and accurate response because the infrared cell does not weaken over time
  • will not react to smoke, humidity, airflow or temperature changes
  • quick response and quick clearing ("zeroing") from high-efficiency air sampling pump
  • on-board diagnostics in
