The Ecotec 4000 is a multi-gas sniffer leak detector for end-of-line testing on refrigeration, air conditioning and automotive production lines. It detects up to four refrigerants simultaneously and finds R600a leaks down to 0.05 g/a. It offers three flow modes (Precision, Optimum and High Speed) and can be integrated with robots.
