Spectronics opx400cs Cordless Led Leak Detection Flashlight

Product Description

The Spectronics opx400cs is a cordless LED flashlight designed for fluorescent leak detection on air conditioning and refrigeration systems. It emits a violet-spectrum light that causes fluorescent dye to glow at the leak site, allowing technicians to pinpoint leaks quickly without disassembling system components. The cordless design supports hands-free movement around equipment, making it a practical tool for field service work. HVAC technicians and refrigeration mechanics are the primary users of this instrument during routine service and diagnostic calls.

The opx400cs is suited for use on AC and refrigeration systems where fluorescent dye has been introduced into the refrigerant circuit or oil charge. Technicians scan accessible components including fittings, coils, compressor bodies, and line sets. The violet light output causes common fluorescent leak detection dyes to fluoresce visibly, even in low-light conditions typical of mechanical rooms and equipment closets. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial service applications.

Key Features

• Cordless design allows unrestricted movement around equipment during leak scans
• LED violet-spectrum light source activates fluorescent dye at leak sites
• Suitable for fluorescent leak detection on air conditioning and refrigeration systems
• Compact flashlight form factor for single-hand operation

Compatibility

Designed for use with fluorescent leak detection dyes on AC and refrigeration systems. Consult dye manufacturer documentation to confirm dye compatibility with the violet LED light source.

Installation Notes

Fluorescent leak detection is performed by licensed HVAC and refrigeration technicians. Before scanning, ensure the appropriate fluorescent dye has been charged into the system per the dye manufacturer instructions. Use caution when working around energized equipment and follow applicable safety lockout procedures when accessing enclosed electrical compartments. UV-blocking safety glasses are recommended when operating any violet or UV light source.
