Dual Purpose Leak Detector Refrigerant &
Combustibles
The Informant 2
The Informant 2 utilizes a unique Bacharach-developed
heated diode sensor and features an automatic sensitivity adjustment so it is
quickly responsive to all types of refrigerant. It also detects all combustible
gases with a 50 ppm minimum. It includes an audible leak indicator with mute
option, as well as dual bar graph displays and a flashing probe tip for visual
confirmation. Plus, The Informant 2's lightweight, ergonomic design and flexible
two-position probe with tapered probe end make finding hard-to-reach leak sources
easy. The Informant 2 comes complete with a soft-sided carrying pouch that can
be attached to the waist for easy portability. For added protection, an optional
rubber boot with a MagLitel flashlight cavity is available to facilitate one-handed
inspections.

| APPLICATIONS |
Because the Informant 2 detects either refrigerant or combustible
leaks, the instrument can be used for leak detection in air-conditioning units
or refrigeration systems as well as residential, commercial and industrial appliances/equipment.
It can also be used to inspect gas lines, gas valves, regulators and meters
on gas equipment. Professionals who would benefit from using The Informant 2
include HVAC service technicians, mechanical contractors, refrigeration manufacturers,
gas utility personnel, plant maintenance personnel, environmental chamber manufacturers,
and automotive service technicians.
