Major Tech Halogen Leak Detector- CFC, HFC, HCFC & SF6 MT980

Description

High-Sensitivity Leak Detection for Fast, Accurate Fault Finding

When refrigerant or gas leaks slow down a job, the MT980 helps you pinpoint issues quickly and confidently. Designed for licensed electricians, refrigeration techs, and maintenance contractors, this detector delivers ultra-sensitive performance across common halogen-based gases, helping you reduce downtime and avoid repeated call-backs.

With the ability to detect CFC, HFC, HCFC, and SF6 gases, including modern refrigerants like R134a, R404A, R410A, and R407C, it’s built for both legacy systems and today’s HVAC requirements. The adjustable tick rate and fast response time allow for precise leak location, even in tight or hard-to-reach service areas—so you can diagnose faster and move on to the next job.

Reliable Detection Built for Real Trade Conditions

The MT980 is engineered for day-to-day use on busy worksites where accuracy and durability matter. Its low power semiconductor sensor delivers consistent detection down to 100ppm of R134a / R22, helping you confidently identify even small leaks before they become major system failures.

A quick 60-second warm-up and under 2-second response time means less waiting and more working. Visual LED indicators and audible alarms give clear feedback in any environment, while the earphone jack adds flexibility in noisy commercial or industrial settings.

Built with a moulded casing and continuous duty cycle design, this detector is made for long shifts, ongoing diagnostics, and repeated site use—ideal for contractors who rely on dependable tools every day.

Trade Efficiency That Saves Time on Every Call-Out

From commissioning to maintenance, the MT980 is designed to make leak detection straightforward and efficient. The flexible 16” (40cm) gooseneck probe gives you easy access into confined or awkward spaces, reducing disassembly time and helping you complete diagnostics faster.

One-handed operation with a thumb-controlled adjustable tick rate allows you to fine-tune sensitivity on the go, speeding up leak localisation without interrupting workflow. Whether you’re working on residential HVAC systems or large commercial installations, this tool helps you stay efficient and minimise labour time on site.
