Cloud hunting in ppm and exact pinpointing, with a single instrument
D-TEK Stratus
SF6 leak detectors
D-TEK Stratus
SF6 leak detector
Two detectors in a single unit
The D-TEK Stratus combines the hunting of the gas cloud with the precise pinpointing of the leak: the LCD display shows the concentration in ppm to narrow down the area and the recorded maximum, while the classic pinpoint mode marks the exact escape.
A sensor for every job
The standard infrared sensor detects SF6, ammonia and the CFC, HCFC, HFC and HFO refrigerants, including A2L blends; the optional CO2 and flammable refrigerant sensors are swapped in seconds, without tools.
Main features
- Sensor life up to 2,000 hours, the longest in its class.
- Sensitivity that does not degrade over time.
- Automatic or manual zeroing.
- Lithium-ion battery: 8-10 h, quick charge, field replacement.
- Operates even while charging via USB-C.
- Rugged carrying case included.
Kit and applications
Kit contents
- Detector with the infrared refrigerant sensor.
- Rechargeable lithium-ion battery and AC wall charger with USB-C cable.
- Spare filters and extra-long probe.
- Earbuds and rugged carrying case.
Applications
- SF6 leaks in circuit breakers, GIS cubicles and substation switchgear.
- Industrial air conditioning and refrigeration, including A2L refrigerants.
- Ammonia and CO2 installations, with the corresponding sensors.
- Verification of the detector with calibrated reference leaks.
Usage note
The detector is not ATEX certified: local requirements must be checked before working in classified areas.
