Applications
Yellow Jacket leak detector for detecting and locating leaks of R290 (propane) and other combustible hydrocarbon gases. Particularly relevant for service and leak detection on refrigeration and heat pump systems using R290, as well as other applications involving combustible gases.
The detector also responds to gases including methane, butane and isobutane, making it suitable for a wide range of installation and service applications.
Features & functions
- Detects R290 (propane) and other combustible hydrocarbon gases.
- Suitable for leak detection on refrigeration and heat pump systems using hydrocarbon refrigerants.
- Three sensitivity levels allow detection to be adapted to the application.
- Automatic calibration and zeroing simplify operation.
- Audible signal increases in frequency as the gas concentration increases.
- SmartAlarm LED indication displays relative leak size on a scale from 1 to 9.
- Flexible probe facilitates leak detection around hard-to-reach components and connections.
- Replaceable sensor allows continued use after the sensor reaches the end of its service life.
