Mastercool 56100 Raptor Refrigerant Leak Detector Corona Discharge Sensor Kit, 16 inch Probe

  • The Mastercool 56100 Raptor Refrigerant Leak Detector is an electronic leak detector using a corona discharge sensor, certified under SAE J1627; compatible with CFC, HCFC, HFC refrigerants, featuring a flexible 16-inch probe to access tight areas; includes sensor tip and 2 "C" batteries.
  • Features:
    • Corona discharge sensor with microprocessor signal processing, providing rapid detection of refrigerant leaks down to about 1/10 ounce per year.
    • Three sensitivity levels (with five detection thresholds) allow adjustable sensitivity to match leak size or environmental conditions.
    • LED visual leak level indicator and variable frequency audible alarm help pinpoint leak source with both sight and sound.
    • Flexible 16 inch (43 cm) probe enables service in confined or hard-to-reach spaces.
  • Includes:
    • Leak detector unit (56100 Raptor)
    • Flexible probe 16 inch length
    • Sensor tip (replaceable, 55100-SEN)
    • 2 "C" size batteries (included)
    • Blow molded carrying case
  • Specifications:
    • Manufacturer: Mastercool Inc.
    • Part Number: 56100
    • Sensor Type: Corona Discharge
    • Sensitivity: Detects leaks as small as 1/10 ounce per year
    • Sensitivity Levels: 3 levels; with 5 detection thresholds
    • Refrigerant Compatibility: CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs and blends
    • Standards / Certification: Meets or exceeds SAE J1627
    • Probe Length: 16 inches (43 cm)
    • Power Source: 2 "C" batteries (included)
    • System Compatibility: Designed for HVAC/R and automotive systems where detection of small leaks is required; useful for technicians servicing A/C, refrigeration with varied refrigerants per SAE J1627.

Q: What is SAE J1627 and why does it matter for this leak detector?
A: SAE J1627 is a standard that specifies performance and sensitivity criteria for electronic leak detectors when detecting refrigerants; meeting it means the 56100 detector can reliably detect small leaks across many common refrigerants.

 

Q: How long are the batteries expected to last under typical use?
A: Mastercool does not publish exact continuous-use hour ratings for the 56100; however it comes with 2 "C" batteries and includes a battery test function so users can know when to replace them.

 

Q: How do I reduce false positives when using this detector?
A: Use the reset function to calibrate to ambient refrigerant levels; avoid operating near refrigeration leaks, vents or exhausts; hold the probe tip about 1/4 inch away from suspected surface and sweep slowly. Also allow the detector to stabilize in the working area before starting.
