Tracer Products introduced the TP-9364 PRO-Alert 2791, an electronic refrigerant leak detector that utilizes a state-of-the-art infrared sensor to accurately detect refrigerant leaks down to 0.1 oz/year (3 g/year).
Tracer said its three-position sensitivity switch minimizes false triggering and allows for easy diagnosis of small, medium and large leaks. The unit is sensitive to R-12, R-134a and all other HFC refrigerants, and is certified to meet the new SAE J2791 standard for electronic refrigerant detectors.
The PRO-Alert 2791’s infrared sensor offers consistent response throughout its life, and will not become contaminated by exposure to large amounts of refrigerant, according to Tracer, and sensor life is 1,000 hours or more.
The company said the unit has a high-efficiency air sampling pump that provides quicker response and quicker clearing (“zeroing”). A rubber-coated, flexible metal probe slithers easily into tight places and holds its position, and an audible alarm and multiple LEDs assist in locating leaks quickly.
The PRO-Alert 2791 is powered by a rechargeable NiMH battery, which provides more than six hours of use between charges. On-board diagnostics indicate charging status, and alert the user to low battery or infrared sensor failure. The unit can also be used with a 120 VAC power adapter and a 12 VDC power adapter with cigarette lighter plug (included). All components are packed in a rugged plastic carrying case.
