    Nice video! It should be mentioned that as you point out the places to check you're touching the probe tip to the surface. This isn't recommended and will set off false alarms. Try to avoid occluding the tip when checking for leaks.

    A detection from the vents does not automatically mean a leak at the evaporator... It's quite likely, but also the leak could be from under the hood, and following the path of drawn in air into the system and out of the vents to the cab.....

    I bought two of these for the shop for automotive HVAC service. They're useless due to false positives. It's like a randomizer gag gift. Yes, it will detect refrigerant when put within the vicinity of refrigerant, but it will also detect refrigerant everywhere else, in places there is no refrigerant leak. So, you pull it away from the area, to see if it stops beeping, but it continues to beep until you turn it off and on. Then you go back to the same spot and it's silent. You turn the sensitivity down, but it finds nothing, even when you crack open a keg of refrigerant and stick its nose right at the end of the hose. I gave it a try on my refrigerator. I know there's a leak. Again, it just randomly beeped everywhere.

    • @electronicsNmore
      @electronicsNmore  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You need a very clean atmosphere for it to work properly, that I agree with. You can't expect the same performance as my MAC for only 11 bucks.

    My exact model stopped sensing. I've read that too much gas or liquids can damage the sensor. Mine stopped after using on top gas stove. I'll try cleaning with alcohol. Where can I get new tips?

    • @electronicsNmore
      @electronicsNmore  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sounds like a damaged sensing tip for sure. The tip wasn't made for propane, natural gas, etc. Try using non-chlorinated brake parts cleaner spray on the sensing element. To be honest, it's cheaper to buy a new unit for $11.50. Thanks for watching!

      If you open it up, there is a little blue multi turn trimpot.
      I bought a brand new one and found out that the tips both worked.
      Adjusted the trimpot in both units and now they both detect propane and butane instantly.
      Go into that trimpot and you can make your detector super sensitive.

    Off topic somewhat but thought this would be OK in the automotive folder:
    Clearly you research and test tools before recommending them. With that in mind, was just wondering what you use for an oscilloscope in automotive diagnostics.
    I'm betting its something that works well, is at least two channels and didn't need a mortgage to purchase.

    Why does moisture give it a false reading? When I put the detector close to my hand it goes off, along with when I put it to the mouth of a water bottle with water in it (without touching).

      And if high humidity can cause it to beep then I'm in a wrong place. Humidity goes up from 60 percent to 80 percent. I live in the tropics. Probably not use this as a diagnostic tool
