Moisture will set off the alarm. So if you go from a cool house into the attic there will be some condensation that forms in the tip and it will trigger it when you turn it on. Getting too close to the evaporator that has condensation on it will set it off. Simply touching it against a piece of wood set it off.But I can deal with that. Just wait before turning it on in the attic and be careful around moisture. What I can't deal with is that the sensitivity dial is very unclear. I think 7 is the highest sensitivity but it signals constantly even in fresh out door air. There is something in the manual about how the chip takes a reading in the 6 second start up that will analyse the baseline of what's in the ambient air, like naturally occurring halogens, and then ignore that reading. So any amount over that baseline will set it off. Sounds awesome, but I spent a lot of time fussing with the dial, turning on in a fresh air environment then moving to where I wanted to check but I could not get repeatable alarms. Meaning I could not duplicate an alarm over and over so that I can be sure it wasn't a false positive.It seems that given to the sensitivity to moisture I just can't trust the readings especially because they are inconsistent. I may be using it wrongly but I read the manual twice and can't say that it is very explicit about how to use it.

This device appears to work as intended. To test, I dispensed a tiny amount of R410A with UV dye onto a piece of plastic. When the sniffer came within a few centimeters of the refrigerant it began to rapidly beep and flash its LED. In addition, the UV dye glowed brightly under the detector's UV lamp.I do have a couple of small problems with the device, though.- While turned on, it beeps and flashes its LED twice per second, presumably to let you know it has battery power. The constant beeping is annoying.- Occasionally I would get a false positive detection when the sniffer was nowhere near any refrigerant. Sometimes I would have to turn the unit off and back on in order to reset it. Adjusting sensitivity did not help eliminate these false positives.

I got this because my HVAC has a small leak, and I wanted to try to pinpoint its location. It is straightforward to use, and I found the leak in the shredder valve on my unit. So, now I was ready to deal with the HVAC company when they showed up to repair the leak.

VIVOHOME HVAC Refrigerant Freon Leak Detector with LED Light, AC Sniffer Leak Detector for R134a R410a R1234yf CFCs HCFCs HFCs HFOsWorks very good, didn't take any time at all to find the leak!! This made it much faster & easier to fix!! Had a detector a few years back, did not work nearly this good. Would recommend this, not that pricey, fix one leak and it has paid for itself.
