Handheld device that detects freon
August 1st 2007

The new Spygas Freon from Telegan Gas Monitoring is designed to help air conditioning and refrigeration engineers quickly and safely detect Freon leaks and check the tightness of pipe joints in hard-to-reach or dark areas.

The lightweight, handheld device can detect Freon levels from as low as 100ppm with easy-to-use, single-button operation. A clear backlit display shows either 100, 1000 or 10 000ppm levels and there are two alarm modes: a Geiger countertype click in normal operation and a loud crescendo alarm which rises with concentration levels. The sensor has a five-year expected lifespan and there is also a battery level indicator.

Small enough to fit into a pocket, the device is compliant to EMC standard EN50270: 1999.
