Raptor Refrigerant Leak Detector With Uv Blue Light

Built for Aussie HVAC pros, the Mastercool Raptor Refrigerant Leak Detector with UV Blue Light (model 56200 series) gives you fast, accurate leak pin-pointing across CFC/HCFC/HFC systems. It’s the go-to when you want fewer call-backs and quicker diagnostics—too easy.

• Who it’s for: Licensed HVAC/R techs, apprentices, and contractors servicing split systems, ducted units, chillers, and commercial refrigeration.
• Why it helps: Microprocessor control + built-in UV torch = double confirmation of tricky leaks. Fair dinkum time saver.

Key Features & Trade Benefits

• Digital Signal Microprocessor → Stable sensing with smart filtering so you can track leaks faster around joints and valves.
• 6 Sensitivity Levels (15 detection steps) → Dial in for noisy plant rooms and windy rooftop days without false alarms.
• Detects to 1/10 oz/yr → Pinpoints tiny losses before they become warranty dramas.
• Built-in Ultra-Bright UV/Blue LED → Electronic + UV dye confirmation for stubborn leak paths—no mucking about.
• Visual Leak Level Indicator + Variable Audible Alarm → See and hear leak size, handy in loud plantrooms.
• Flexible 16″ (43 cm) probe → Reach tight coil bays and behind condensers without kinking.
• Battery test, mute, reset, keypad controls → Quick checks and quiet operation inside apartments or offices.

Why This Product Matters

On a steamy Brisbane arvo, a tech was chasing a pressure drop on an R410A cassette. Soap bubbles showed nothing. He switched the Raptor to a higher sensitivity, traced the hiss at a flare hidden behind insulation, then flicked on the UV light to confirm dye fluorescing—job done in minutes, customer happy, no call-back. Ripper.

Pro Tip

Always reset the detector away from the suspected leak, then approach slowly. Shield the tip from cross-winds on rooftops—your readings will stabilise quicker and you’ll nail the leak first go.

FAQs

Will it pick up small R32/R410A leaks in split systems?

Yes—its sensitivity and visual bar graph help you hone in around flares, service valves, and brazed joints. For ultra-tiny leaks, confirm with UV dye for a belt-and-braces approach. Pair with Errecom Brilliant UV Dye Pack.

How do I confirm a suspect spot?

Use the built-in UV/Blue light to scan for dye after dosing and run-time. If you want IR sensitivity and numeric sizing, consider the Fieldpiece DR82 IR Leak Detector as a complementary tool.

What replacement parts are available?

Sensor tip and UV bulb are replaceable. Keep a spare sensor on the truck for busy weeks. (Manufacturer part refs: Sensor tip 55100-SEN; UV bulb 53515-B.)

What else should I carry for pressure testing?

A quality nitrogen regulator speeds up diagnostics and confirms repairs. See our High-Precision Nitrogen Regulator.
