testo 515 Ex – ATEX-approved combination leak detector for flammable and non-flammable refrigerants
The testo 515 Ex is a flexible and reliable combination leak detector for professional use in potentially explosive areas. The instrument is ATEX-certified and designed for users who need a safe and versatile tool for detecting both flammable and non-flammable refrigerants.
With the testo 515 Ex, you can quickly and efficiently locate leaks during service, installation, and maintenance in applications such as refrigeration, heating, and industrial settings. By using the right sensor, the instrument can be adapted to the specific task and application.
One instrument—many uses
The testo 515 Ex can be used with two different types of sensors, making it a flexible solution for various types of leak detection. The instrument detects flammable refrigerants such as methane, propane, butane, and hydrogen, as well as common refrigerants.
Its high sensitivity and fast response time make it possible to detect even small leaks quickly and reliably. The flexible and sturdy gooseneck provides good access even to hard-to-reach measurement points.
Clear indication of leaks
The testo 515 Ex displays measurement values both numerically and as bar graphs, making it easy to track changes during leak detection. Visual and audible alarms provide a clear indication when a leak is detected.
The automatic zero-reset function helps you quickly locate the leak. For more customized adjustments, you can also reset the device manually.
Designed for professional use
Its rugged design and replaceable sensors make the testo 515 Ex suitable for daily use in demanding environments. The sensors can be easily replaced by the user, which minimizes downtime and simplifies maintenance.
