Fieldpiece 27Y12 – DR82 Infrared Refrigerant Leak Detector is a professional-grade HVAC diagnostic tool engineered for fast, precise refrigerant leak detection in residential and commercial systems. Built with state-of-the-art infrared sensor technology, the DR82 delivers industry-leading sensitivity better than 0.03 oz/yr (1 g/a), exceeding standard detection requirements and allowing technicians to pinpoint even extremely small leaks quickly and confidently.
The DR82 detects all HFC, CFC, HCFC, HFO refrigerants and blends, including A2L refrigerants used in modern HVAC equipment. Unlike traditional leak detection methods, it does not trigger on soap bubbles, oil, or moisture, significantly reducing false positives. Its advanced sensing technology detects changes in refrigerant concentration and performs reliably even in contaminated environments.
Designed for daily field use, the DR82 features a massive bright blue backlit LCD screen with clear numerical leak size indication and bar graph display. A flashing LED lighted tip, loud audible beeper, and customizable dual alarms provide clear feedback in noisy mechanical rooms or low-light conditions. The rugged, IP54-certified housing and non-conductive probe ensure durability and safe operation.
With up to 10 hours of battery life and the ability to operate while charging, this compact and lightweight detector is built to keep up with demanding service schedules. The infrared sensor is rated for up to 10 years of life, making it a long-term investment for professional HVAC technicians.
