Frequently Asked Questions
What refrigerants does the Robinair ZX-1A detect?
The ZX-1A uses heated pentode technology designed for halogenated refrigerants. Confirm the full compatible refrigerant list — including A2L refrigerants — against the Robinair manufacturer's current datasheet before ordering.
How does heated pentode detection work?
Heated pentode sensors detect halogen atoms released when refrigerant contacts the heated element, causing a change in electrical current that triggers the alarm. Sensor life and performance can be affected by repeated exposure to high refrigerant concentrations.
What is the warranty on the ZX-1A?
Confirm current warranty terms with HVAC Trade Supply at time of purchase. Robinair tools are generally supported by a manufacturer warranty — refer to product documentation for full details.
