Javac/Inficon Tek-Mate Refrigerant Leak Detector

The Tek-Mate is widely regarded as the industry standard for reliable, affordable, and portable refrigerant leak detection. It utilizes high-end electrochemical sensor technology that is resistant to dirt, water, and oil — perfect for pinpointing leaks in messy automotive or commercial refrigeration environments. If you're new to leak detection, read our step-by-step guide on how to use an HVAC leak detector.

Key Features

• No Manual Switching Required: Equal sensitivity to CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs, and SF6.
• Contamination Resistant: Heated-diode sensor ignores oil and moisture false alarms.
• Automatic Background Compensation: Finds leaks even in refrigerant-contaminated rooms.
• High/Low Sensitivity Modes: Toggle between modes to home in on large or elusive leaks.
• Rugged Construction: 43cm chrome-plated flexible metal probe with LED and audible alarm.

Tradie Pro Tip:

Move the probe tip slowly (25–50mm per second) and keep it as close to the potential leak site as possible without touching it. If the alarm triggers, pull the probe away, let the unit reset in fresh air, and approach again to verify the exact location.
