Description
Compact and rugged, the DR82 Infrared
Refrigerant Leak Detector helps you nd leaks
fast in the eld. The 10 year infrared (IR) sensor
detects all HFC, HCFC, CFC, HFO, and blends.
Multiple indicators and sensitivity 20x higher
than soap bubbles make it easy to track down
even the smallest leaks in various environments.
A red LED ashes at the tip so you can keep
your eyes on the target. The large bars on the
backlit LCD are easy to see in bright sunlight or
low light, and the numerical value provides an
extra digit of resolution.
Unlike conventional leak detectors, you have
full control with both an automatic (AZERO) and
manual (MZERO) zero mode.
The large Li-ion rechargable battery provides
over 10 hours of continuous operation and is
convenient to charge via USB-C. Replaceable
tips lter out water and dust while getting into
tight spots. All wrapped up in a ruggedized IP54
housing, it's built for the eld.

WARNINGS
Inhalation of high concentrations of refrigerant vapor can block
oxygen to the brain causing injury or death.
Do not use this device in a combustible gas atmosphere or with
A3 refrigerants such as R-290, propane or R-600, isobutane.
Do not block exhaust port or device or will not function properly.
Quick Start
1. Move to a refrigerant-free environment and
hold until your DR82 powers on.
2. Allow warm-up (calibration) to complete.
3. Begin searching for the leak source.
Move the tip slowly (~3 inches/sec) and as closely
as possible to the suspected refrigerant line.
4. Search until refrigerant gas is detected.
Red light flashes, audible alarm triggers, and the
display indicates the relative gas concentration.
5. Conrm leak source.
Move tip away from alarm location for a few
seconds to clear the sensor. Return tip back to
suspected leak, looking for the highest value.
Maintenance
CLEANING: Clean the exterior with a damp
cloth. Do not use detergents or solvents.
BATTERY CHARGING: Recharge the internal
battery as needed using the USB-C cable. In
addition to the AC plug, most generic USB
ports supply enough power to charge. The long
life Li-ion rechargable battery is permanently
installed. To maximize battery life, minimize
time spent at 100% full or 0% full.
FILTER REPLACEMENT: The hydrophobic
lter is built into the replaceable tip and should
be replaced periodically to maximize sensor life
and performance. Five ltered tips (RFT6) are
included. Unscrew the tip to remove.
Functionality Test
Use a refrigerant tank and a cap to check if
your DR82 is detecting refrigerant properly.
Filtered Tip (RFT6)
1. Tightly cap a refrigerant
tank port to seal it.
2. Open valve to
coat the inside
of the cap, then
close the valve.
3. With DR82 set to high sensitivity (H), remove
the cap and wave the tip over the cap. You
should see a very large leak size of approxi-
mately "99" and a full bar graph. If not, the
ltered tip may need to be replaced.
