Fluke Corp.’s Fluke Connect received the gold award in the Testing & Monitoring category of the 2015 Dealer Design Awards.

The HS81-HS Controller and compatible components solution is designed for hazard monitoring and control. 

The RD300 is a heated diode refrigerant leak detector that pinpoints chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), and hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant leaks with three levels of sensitivity to leaks as small as 0.25 ounces per year (7 grams per year). 

We asked our contractor advisory panel to weigh in on their most useful and effective tools used in the field. Here’s what they had to say.

There’s no doubt the connectivity of mobile devices has made our personal lives more convenient, but now they’re also helping make technicians more efficient, thanks to tool manufacturers developing wireless-enabled devices and test and measurement apps for download.

While some contractors are willing to equip technicians with the necessary tools, others require workers to purchase their own, which can be yet another burden for someone just starting out in the field.

 The HELIOT 900 helium leak detector features a fast pumping speed to detect small leaks quickly and a simple tablet-style interface that improves productivity, stated the manufacturer. 

Manufacturers are utilizing Wi-Fi capabilities, mobile devices, and multipurpose devices to move testing and monitoring forward in the ever-changing HVAC industry landscape.

The OLK-400BEZ/E Complete BigEZ™ Leak Detection Kit contains everything needed to locate refrigerant leaks in medium to large a/c and refrigeration systems, including high-pressure R-410A systems. 

The FloodBreaker whole-house, adjustable leak-detection system monitors all water use in the home and shuts off the main water supply if any of the user-programmed settings are reached.
