The Bacharach Informant 2 is a refrigerant and combustible gas leak detector that uses a patented sensor technology. It has a fast warm-up and response time and can pinpoint leaks with its flashing probe tip. The thin probe allows access to tight spaces. It detects refrigerants like R-134a and combustible gases with interchangeable sensor tips. The audible tick rate and LEDs indicate concentration levels.

Refrigerant Leak Detector
The Informant 2 allows pinpoint detection of
both refrigerant and combustible gas leaks with
one instrument
Fast Warm-up, Fast Response
KEYBENEFITS
The unique combination of state-of-the-art patented sensor
• Sequential flashing probe tip, dual
technology, advanced software design and microprocessor-controlled
circuitry offers unmatched precision coupled with tremendous speed
LED displays and loud tick rate
Swaps sensor tips within seconds and leaves the user free of worry
indicates relative concentration levels
about adjusting sensitivity levels - it’s taken care of automatically
tight areas
• Sensor set at the tip for pinpoint
The diameter of the tip of the sensor is 0.2” allowing the user to get
accuracy and instantaneous response
time
Access Hard to Reach Areas
between coils and fitting, gaining access to the tighter spots.
Audible Indication
The audible indication of the Informant 2 features a mute option
coupled with sequential LED’s to monitor increasing concentrations.
