Mastercool 56200 Raptor Refrigerant Leak Detector, UV Blue Light Dual Detection
- The Mastercool 56200 Raptor Leak Detector with UV Blue Light offers dual-mode detection (corona discharge electronic plus UV/blue LED) certified under SAE J1627; includes flexible 16 inch probe, sensor tip, UV safety glasses, blow-molded case and two "C" batteries. Ideal for detecting small leaks in automotive or HVAC/R systems.
- Features:
- Corona discharge electronic sensor with 6 sensitivity levels (15 detection levels) for refined control over detection thresholds.
- Ultra-bright UV/blue LED light built into probe tip to assist leak dye inspection and visual confirmation under UV light.
- Detects leaks as small as 1/10 ounce per year across all common refrigerants (CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs).
- Includes mute function, visual leak level LED indicator, variable frequency audible alarm, reset function, keypad control and battery-test function.

Q: Do I need UV dye to use the UV light feature?
A: Yes, the UV/blue LED light lets you see fluorescence if UV-sensitive dye has been added to the refrigerant; the detector’s UV light will not identify leaks on its own without dye.
Q: Can this detector be used on both R134a and R1234yf systems?
A: Yes, it detects those refrigerants using its corona discharge sensor, so it works on both R134a and R1234yf systems.
Q: What is meant by "6 levels of sensitivity, 15 levels of detection"?
A: The unit has six user-selectable sensitivity settings; each sensitivity level has subdivisions (total 15 thresholds) to fine-tune detection sensitivity for small vs larger leaks.
