The TIF XP-1A is a professional-grade, battery-operated halogen gas leak detector designed for HVAC technicians, auto mechanics, and industrial maintenance teams. Whether you’re servicing a residential AC, automotive air conditioning system, or commercial refrigeration unit, the XP-1A helps you locate even microscopic leaks with confidence.
Key Features & Benefits
- High Sensitivity to Halogen Gases
Detects extremely small leaks (down to 0.1 oz/year) of all halogenated refrigerants, including R134a, R22, R410a, R404a, R507, R1234yf, and SF6. Never miss a leak again. - Heated Diode Sensor Technology
The advanced, long-life heated diode sensor provides rapid response and recovery. No false alarms from humidity, temperature changes, or contaminants like brake cleaner or exhaust fumes. - Dual Alerts – Visual & Audible
A bright LED light bar glows progressively brighter as leak concentration increases, while the beep rate speeds up – allowing you to work in noisy environments or silently with earbuds (headphone jack included). - Flexible 14-Inch Stainless Steel Probe
The rigid yet bendable probe reaches tight spaces around manifolds, evaporators, condenser coils, and service valves. Probe holds its shape for precise aiming. - Automatic Warm-Up & Zeroing
One-button operation. The XP-1A self-calibrates during warm-up and automatically zeros out background contamination to maintain peak sensitivity. - Long Battery Life
Runs for over 40 hours on two standard D-cell batteries (included). No recharging delays – just swap and go. - Durable Carrying Case Included
Hard-shell protective case with custom foam insert stores the detector, spare probe tips, filters, and batteries securely. Ready for daily field use.
