Inficon 717-202-G1 Compass Refrigerant Leak Detector
The Inficon 717-202-G1 Compass is a heated diode refrigerant leak detector built for HVAC technicians. It detects CFC, HCFC, HFC and HFO refrigerants with a sensitivity of .15 oz/yr. A mechanical pump draws samples to the sensor for fast response. The unit operates on 120V AC power and includes a DC car charger for mobile service work.
Technicians needing broad refrigerant coverage
This detector suits professionals who service systems using traditional and newer low-GWP refrigerants, including compatible 2L flammable types. It is not intended for users who require a detector without a heated diode sensor or for applications demanding a battery-only power source without AC charging capability.
Straightforward setup with included accessories
Installation consists of connecting the AC adapter or DC car charger and attaching the sensor with its filter. The carrying case organises components for transport. Common issues include sensor contamination if filters are not replaced regularly and reduced sensitivity when the heated diode element ages beyond its service life.

Questions about this item
Does the 717-202-G1 Compass need an external power source for the heated diode sensor and mechanical pump?
The unit runs on 120 V AC via the included adapter and also ships with a DC car charger for mobile use.
Will the detector still find leaks on older CFC and HCFC systems I still service?
Yes, it detects CFC, HCFC, HFC and HFO refrigerants down to 0.15 oz/yr, covering legacy and current blends.
How do I confirm the sensor is responding correctly after I turn it on?
Use the two sensitivity levels and watch for the audible and visual alarms to trigger when the probe passes a known leak.
