The TracePro 790 uses an infrared sensor to detect halogen, CO₂ and hydrocarbon refrigerants at the same time. It is built for service teams working across several system types in one day.
Why one detector for all three groups
A typical service round can start on an R410A office system, move to an R290 display cabinet in a convenience store, and finish on a cold room running CO₂. Those three systems need three different sensing principles.
The usual answer is to carry two or three instruments. That works, but it costs more to buy, takes up space in the van, and each detector has its own sensor replacement cycle to track.
Key specifications
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Sensing principle | Infrared, three channel |
| Refrigerant groups | Halogen, CO₂, hydrocarbon |
| Firmware updates | Over the air, no need to return the unit |
| Connectivity | Bluetooth, pairs with the Elitech app |
| Body | Built for site work, flexible probe |
| Power | Internal rechargeable battery |
Where it is used
- Residential and commercial air conditioning maintenance on R32 or R410A
- Display cabinets and small cold rooms running R290
- Industrial refrigeration running CO₂
- Scheduled checks under a maintenance contract, where the refrigerant is not known in advance
How it compares within the range
The TracePro 790 is not the only option and it is not right for every case. The table below compares it with the other three detectors in the Elitech range.
| Model | Principle | Sensitivity | Suited to |
|---|---|---|---|
| TracePro 790 | Three-channel infrared | HAL 3 g/yr · CO₂ 6 g/yr · HC 7 g/yr | Teams working across several system types |
| TracePro 780 | Infrared | 1 g/yr, ten-year sensor | Specialist work on one refrigerant group |
| TracePro 580 | Heated diode | 3 g/yr, IP54 body | Dusty or humid site conditions |
| Inframate PPM | Quantitative | 0 to 19,999 ppm | Where a numerical reading is needed for a report |
Supply
