Overview

Four reasons why you need the DRX3

1. Work safely with our ATEX Rated leak detector

Do you work with A3 refrigerants? No need to worry! Our DRX3 Leak Detector is ATEX Rated, ensuring safe operation in potentially explosive environments. This certification confirms that the DRX3 can pick up on A3 refrigerants leaks safely, allowing you to work confidently on-site.


2. Sensitive and durable

The DRX3 detects faster and lasts longer. With a 1 g/year sensitivity, the DRX3 can clearly detect all the smallest leaks and the detector even responds to Tracer Gas (95% N2 + 5% H2). And you don’t have to worry about the DRX3 dying on the jobsite. With an 60-hour battery life the DRX3 will always last you until the end of the job. And with the option to either recalibrate every three seconds automatically, or choose the calibration interval by doing it manually, you can always be sure you use exactly what you need.

3. High-quality diode sensor

The diode sensor has the highest sensitivity to detect the smallest leaks and it’s also user-replaceable. No need to worry about getting a whole new tool when it’s just your diode sensor that needs replacing! And, you can do it all by yourself. Easy and fast diode replacement, that’s what we like.

4. Easy-to-view measurements

Because of the large LCD display, that can showcase both a bar graph and a numerical readout, you can easily and quickly view the measurements of the DRX3 under any circumstances. The illuminated tip makes it easy to view where exactly the leak is located.

Frequently asked questions

How do I replace the sensor?
Ensure your DRX3 is powered off. Remove the old sensor by holding the module firmly and pulling the sensor tip straight out. DO NOT TWIST. Align the new sensor tip (RXA3) and push into place at the end of the module. DO NOT TWIST OR BEND PINS. For a new sensor, with the unit powered off, enter factory mode by holding ,ZERO and SENSITIVITY buttons together > 5 seconds. Press ZERO until ""2. Reset Sensor Life"" appears. Press and hold ZERO and SENSITIVITY to reset sensor hours. Press and hold to power off. NOTE: Do not reset sensor hours if you are re-installing the same sensor.
What is the difference between the DRX3 and DR58/DR82?
The DRX3 is our ATEX Rated leak detector that is compatible with all A1, A2L and A3 refrigerants, as well as N2/H2 Tracer Gas. The DRX3 is compatible with our Job Link® wireless platform. The DR58/DR82 are our common refrigerant leak detectors and are compatible with all A1 and A2L refrigerants.
How do I use low/medium/high/turbo?
Set the sensitivity level by pressing the Sensitivity button. Low (L), medium (M), or high (H) sensitivity will be indicated at the top of the LCD display. The higher the concentration of refrigerant in the ambient air, the lower the sensitivity setting should be to minimize false trips. The TURBO (T) function is an additional 4th sensitivity that pushes the DR82 to it highest possible sensitivity.
What is the difference between automatic zero and manual zero?
Automatic zeroing on the instrument allows for convenient pinpointing of a refrigerant leak by setting a new 'zero-value' every 3-4 seconds. This is useful when a large concentration of refrigerant is being detected in a contained area. Manual zeroing puts the control of the zero function in your hands, you can simply press the zero button on the tool at any time to set a new zero value. This is good for clarifying the leak source once it has been identified.
Why is my leak detector alarming?
If no sensor is installed or the installed sensor is faulty when the unit is turned on, an alarm will sound and the unit will turn off.
