| The first thing you notice about our new electronic leak
detector is the modern look. It's been ergonomically designed so it fits
your hand. Holding it while you're searching for leaks is natural and
comfortable, and you'll find it fits into tight spots so you can
thoroughly check for leaks. For all its compact size, the 16600 is
packed with features that help you pinpoint leaks quickly.
One-Hand Operation - The 16" gooseneck probe holds its position so
you can operate the detector with one hand.
Audible and Visual Leak Indicators - An alarm increases in frequency
as the tip gets nearer to a high concentration of refrigerant. Also,
LEDs indicates a leak, especially helpful for those times when you're
working in a noisy environment.
Threshold Balancing Control - Gives you infinite control for
eliminating background contamination so you can zero in on the leak
site.
Volume Control - Adjust the audible leak signal to the volume that's
right for the background noise in the shop or at the job site.
Reliable Technology = Dependable Leak Detecting
The 16600 uses proven corona discharge technology to sense leaks. It
works by creating a high voltage corona in the sensing tip. When this
field is interrupted by refrigerant, the alarm is triggered. All corona
discharge leak detectors are not the same, however, the quality of key
components is critical in providing an effective instrument.
Transformer - To create the high voltage corona, the unit must "pump
up" form the battery output to 2000 volts. It takes a specialized
transformer to consistently provide this voltage, and our is the result
of years of testing and field use to assure operation you can rely on.
Sensing Tip - The materials, shape and finish of the sensor and
surrounding shell are critical to the effectiveness and life of the tip.
The 16600 is built with a mirror finish and specially engineered tip for
superior sensitivity and durability. The tip can be cleaned for even
longer life. |
