Artiko RLD-100 Refrigerant Leak Detector – All Refrigerants, 7-Level Indicator (with Case)

Artiko RLD-100 is a refrigerant leak detector with a solid-electrode semiconductor sensor. It responds to all common refrigerants (R22, R134a, R404A, R410A, R32, R1234yf...), including the CFC, HCFC, HFC and HFO groups. What sets it apart from other detectors is its 1-7 level digital leak indicator: not just a beep — you see the size of the leak as a number, so you can tell a large leak from a small one and go to the critical point first.

Shows Leak Size as a Number: 1-7 Digital Scale

• 0.05 oz/yr (~1.4 g/yr) sensitivity — catches even the smallest leaks that would otherwise go unnoticed for years.
• Audible + numeric alert: As you approach the leak the beeping speeds up and the number on the display (1-7) rises; in a noisy machine room you rely on the display, in the dark on the sound.
• 43 cm flexible probe: Bends to reach behind units, into narrow shafts and inside evaporators.
• Quick start-up: Warms up in 30 seconds and responds instantly; the sensitivity level is adjustable.
• Long-life sensor: ~5 years with regular use — sensor replacement costs are deferred.
• Self-sufficient in the field: 4-6 hours of continuous operation on 4× AA alkaline batteries; lightweight 433 g body, with carrying case.

• 🔧 Move the probe slowly (2-5 cm per second); hold it steady at a suspect point and watch the number rise.
• Search from below: Refrigerants are heavier than air; a leak seeps down below the joint.
• Use the number to narrow it down: High sensitivity for a wide sweep, then a low level + following the number while narrowing down the source gives the fastest result.
• Final confirmation: Confirm the marked point with soap bubbles; carry out a nitrogen pressure test after the repair.
