Detects leaks of combustible
gases sensitive to 50 ppm
(methane).
The Informant®2 is the only dual-purpose leak detector for detecting both combustible and refrigerant
gases and is ideal for residential and commercial heating and cooling contractors. Its unique combination
of state-of-the-art sensor technology, advanced software design and microprocessor-controlled circuitry
offers unmatched accuracy and detection speed. The Informant
sensor technology to detect combustible gases and a patented heated diode sensor technology to detect
refrigerants.
Detects leaks in refrigerant
systems by locating halogens
in CFC, HCFC, HFC and
blends.

2 utilizes patented semiconductor
Quick Change Sensors for Instant Detection
Easily switch sensor tips in just a few seconds with no need to adjust sensitivity levels, - it’s taken care of
automatically - even where high levels of background vapors or refrigerants are present. Gaining access
to hard to reach areas is easy with the nely tapered sensor tip.
The Informant
LEDs to monitor increasing concentrations of refrigerant or combustible gases. The bar graph display
provides visual conrmation of leak concentrations and a ashing light leak rate indicator on the probe tip
helps to visually dene the sampling location.
