H25-IR

Industrial Refrigerant Leak Detector

The H25-IR is an industrial leak detector used for low-level detection and leak rate quantification of CFCs, HFCs, HCFCs, and halogen
gas compounds that are used in air conditioning and refrigeration equipment, fire suppression systems, and various other residential,
commercial and industrial apparatus. The instrument can be used to locate and quantify leaks as well as log and totalize the entire
group of leaks in a system to ensure quality assurance compliance. The unit is capable of detecting 29 of the most commonly used
refrigerants and halogen gas compounds. Additional gas-specific models are available for R-600a and SF6.

Standard Probe,
LED & Button

Contains a button that can be
configured to either zero the
unit or switch between the
instrument’s search and measure
modes. Also contains an LED that
provides visual feedback. The
LED can be configured to blink
with increasing frequency as the
measured leak rate increases or
light steadily once a user defined
threshold is reached.

Smart Probe

Contains an LCD display that
shows the current leak rate.
Also contains an LED that can
be configured for operation just
as with the Standard Probe,
LED & Button. The probe also
has a keypad that is identical
to the one on the H25-IR’s
front panel, enabling all of the
instrument’s functions, setups
and features to be accessed
via the probe.
