Product Description

The TIF No. IR-1 uses infrared optics to create a refrigerant leak

detector that combines sensitivity, speed, battery life, portability,

and ease of use. This unit detects leaks as small as 0.15 oz/year,

and meets both SAE J1627 and J2791 standards.
The IR-1 comes with a wall charger and a car charger for its

compact lithium-ion battery—which can power the leak detector

for up to eight hours of continuous operation before needing to

recharge. A choice of three sensitivity settings keep false alarms

to a minimum while allowing detection of even the smallest leak

in a refrigerant contaminated environment. A 30-second, self-

calibration test occurs whenever the unit is powered on to ensure

optimal performance. A built-in replaceable filter blocks moisture

and particulates, preventing damage to the sensor.
