Dual Purpose Leak Detector
The Informant™ 2 leak detector allows pinpoint detection of both refrigerant and combustible gas leaks
with the same instrument.
It's unique combination of state-of-the-art patented sensor technology, advanced software design and
microprocessor-controlled circuitry offers you unmatched precision coupled with tremendous speed.
The Informant™ 2 utilizes patented semiconductor sensor technology to detect combustible gases and
patented heated diode sensor technology to detect refrigerants.
Swap sensor tips within seconds and never worry about adjusting sensitivity levels - it's taken care of
automatically - even where high levels of background vapors or refrigerants are present. The refrigerant
sensor tip is hnely tapered to 0.2" diameter - so you can get in between coils and httings, gaining access
to hard to reach areas.
The Informant™ 2 leak detector features an audible indicator with a mute option coupled with sequential LEDs to monitor increasing concentrations of
refrigerant or combustible gases. Dual bar graph displays offer visual conhrmation no matter what position the instrument is in. And, a hashing light at the tip
of the probe helps to visually dehne your sampling location.
