D-TEK Stratus Refrigerant Leak Detector and Portable Monitor, Model: 724-202-G1,Off-White

Saves the guys a lot of time

Must have for MVAC technicians, sniff out leak like a bloodhound on a mission, picked up a small evaporator leak without even taking anything apart.

don't buy from amazon renewed. I needed this tool for work. The first time they sent me a box of pampers diaper wipes. Ok I get it. Things happen. So waited another week. The "Renewed" tool shows up but doesn't power up. Don't love my new part time job driving to UPS to return garbage.

Over the years I have had a number of different leak detectors. Different detector types for different situations, but this one is the bees knees. I had a leak in a large 60 by 65 chilled storage room with 2 evaporators on separate condensing units, one of which had a leak. Unsure if it was the condensing unit or the evaporator I turned the unit on,waited till the unit had initialized (about 90 seconds) opened the chiller door and entered. As soon as I was inside the detector went into alarm so I knew I was at the right place, reduced the sensitivity and proceeded to locate the leak. This detector saves so much time it pays for itself quickly and with a usb charging battery, no worries about carrying spares.

if you want a top of the line refrigerant leak detector then look no further.sure its expensive but its defintately worth every penny knowing that you know exactly where the leak is coming from.especially if a evaporator core is leaking.evaporator cores are very labor intensive and knowing where the leak is coming from is a great piece of mind.now there are different options if you dont want this high end one but rest ashured you get what you pay for.

I have d-tek select and been very happy with the tool. So, I purchased "the new" d-tek stratus for backup tool in Feb 2021. This new d-tek stratus had 2 faults. The beep sound was very low, I couldn't hear the beep on site due to the surrounding noisy on site. Also the power & volume buttons are very hard to push, the volume selections are only 2, 0% or 100%(but very low volume) only, instead of 3 as written on the manual. I emailed to inficon, the manufacturer, and was told that "this unit was part of a batch that had bad audio jacks." If only the manufacturer tested this product, they would've notice the issue straight away, and fixed the issue before they distribute & sold it. It's obvious the manufacturer didn't perform QC at all. I tried to repair it under warranty, but found it is very hard to proceed with warranty repair. Amazon USA kindly offered refund. I really hope the manufacturer, inficon fix these issue by the time I re-order this item. Anyway, great thanks to Amazon for accepting return/refund.

Ordered 2, one open box, it came in and had a sensor fault issue, ordered a second one brand new came in sensor fault issue.

best one I've ever used

Amazon will tell you to call the manufacturer for repairs. Inficon (The manufacturer) refuses to service the product since they say they don't sell to Amazon Canada. Product broke in less than 2 months. Previously bought the same product and it lasted for over 10 years. The quality and craftsmanship has drastically deteriorated.
