Product Description
The PS-i-Hybrid is a new and revolutionary version of our PS-i a legendary instrument used by thousands of HVAC/R and automotive technicians around the globe.
The PS-i Hybrid is an advanced Ultrasonic Leak Detector using a new type of sound translator offering high sensitivity, selectivity and ease of use. It features together with the Peak Hold mode a patented Rolling Display mode which frees the user from having to change the sensitivity as the leak is approached from distance.
Instead of the display saturating and having the operator reduce the sensitivity as the intensity is increased the display adds elements and keeps on rolling until it fills up completely, then a beep in the headset informs the operator that the detection range is exceeded.
Best for: HVAC/R, Pneumatics, Truck and Trailer Brakes, Train Brakes, Refer Leak Detection, Bulk Ship Hatch Leak Detection, Cabins & Tanks (with the SB or SB-II)
The PS-i-Hybrid is designed, patented and made in the USA
