Robinair 16009 DiscovR Refrigerant Identifier for R134a Systems

• The Robinair 16009 DiscovR Refrigerant Identifier is a handheld diagnostic device that checks the purity of R134a refrigerant in a vehicle’s A/C system and detects excessive air contamination before connecting recovery equipment.
• Features:
  • Visual pass/fail LED indicators showing if refrigerant is at least ninety-seven percent pure R134a
  • Detects excessive air presence in the refrigerant mixture to protect downstream tools and components
  • Power input is 12 V DC for vehicle compatibility
  • Meets SAE J1771 and UL/C safety standards
• Specifications:
  • Manufacturer: Robinair (Bosch Automotive Service Solutions)
  • Model / Part Number: 16009
  • Refrigerant Type: R134a only
  • Input Power: 12 V DC
  • Detection Accuracy: Pass/fail threshold at 97 % R134a purity
  • Air Detection: Yes
  • Approvals: SAE J1771, UL/C
  • System Compatibility / Application: Use before servicing vehicle A/C to verify refrigerant purity, detect air contamination, and prevent damage to recovery or recycling equipment
• Also known as DiscovR 16009 refrigerant identifier, Robinair R134a leak purity checker, 16009 purity tester, and Robinair DiscovR smoke-free refrigerant analyzer.

The Robinair DiscovR 16009 provides quick, reliable verification of R134a refrigerant purity just with a simple LED pass or fail. It helps avoid contaminated A/C servicing and protects recovery/recycling tools by identifying excessive air or non-R134a contaminants before service begins.

Q: Can it test refrigerants other than R134a?
A: No. This unit is designed specifically for R134a and should not be used with other refrigerant types or blends.

Q: How is "pass" defined on this device?
A: A pass indication means the refrigerant is ninety-seven percent pure R134a or higher.

Q: What happens if it detects excess air?
A: The unit lights an "excess air" indicator, alerting the user to air contamination which could damage recovery or recharge systems.
