VACCUM LEAK – Set up of vacuum leak value (span)
Use “UP” or “DOWN” keys to set vacuum leak value (span). Press “START” to save the above settings
-
After the system has been completely serviced in according to manufacturer’s specifications reset the filter replacement interval on new 99 working hours. Enter PIN code (4 numbers) and press “START”.
-
Use this mode to check the wiring, relays, solenoid valves, vacuum pump and recovery pump for electrical continuity.
Select RELAYS TESTING in main <SETTINGS> many and press “START” key. The display will show the following. By pressing “UP and “DOWN” key to change the relay, with “START” make the relay ON (“STOP” for OFF).
NOTE: Do not run relay number 2 (which controls recovery pump) for more than few seconds.
-
Set the pre-charge value in order to compensate refrigerant that during the charging process stays trapped into the service hoses. Minimum value is 00.01kg.
Recommended pre-charge value for 3m hoses is 00.06kg.
Use “UP” or “DOWN” keys to set desired pre-charge value. Press “START” to save the settings.

While machine in “stand by” press and keep depressed “STOP” button for few seconds until numerical display show SET and LED indicator start to flesh.
With “START” key select KG (for metric) or LB (for imperial). Press “STOP” to confirm the selection.
3 – Power up
-
Power up the unit on a main switch (19)
The unit will perform a lamp test, whereby all LED displays are illuminated. This will enable the operator to determine if any display segments have failed.
After the sequence has been completed, the displays will indicate: FILT – REMAINING WORKING HOURS XX Hr.
This is the number of hours left before equipment servicing is required.
In next sequence the unit is on “Stand by” and the LCD display is showing:
- The amount of refrigerant in the cylinder (12), – The quantity of new oil in the vessel (10).
- The quantity of oil in recovered oil vessel (9)
- The time is displayed
If the cylinder is delivered empty, display should indicate approximately 0.00kg of refrigerant in the cylinder (cylinder empty).
-
To select a mode of operation, press either the “UP” or “DOWN” arrow keys until the LED indicator is beside the desired function.
Press ‘START‘ key which will cause the unit to enter the selected mode. Any mode that has been selected can be exited by pressing the ‘STOP’ key.
Note, that if a valid key was depressed, the unit will beep. If an inappropriate selection has been made, i.e. attempting to select a mode whilst another mode is in operation, the unit will ignore the pressed key and will not beep.
-
Check if both cylinder (12) valves and liquid hose (16) ball valve are open.
Attach the service hoses (5) on the unit. Carefully tight (with fingers only) knurled nut on console bellow hand wheels (blue-left, red-right). Hook up quick couplers (6) to parking brass adapter (pull back bottom knurled section with fingers and carefully press the coupler into the proper adapter).
Fill the plastic oil vessels (10) with new oil (minimum 50ml) and plastic vessel (11) with UV Dye (minimum 50ml). The display in Stand by mode will show the amount of the oil filled in new oil injector.
-
The printer is equipped with two keys and green led:
>> Paper feed
II on line / off line
The green led shows the state of the printer:
Led constantly ON – Printer in line
Led blinking – Printer not in line or no paper
Led off – Press II. If the problem persists, contact authorized distributor or manufacturer.
Printer roll specifications,
Paper width: 57-58mm
Max paper thickness: 80 µ
Printing report:
After completion of every operation the unit will print a report as per list on the right —>

Refrigerant Cylinder Filling Procedure (Refrigerant Transfer)
The cylinder (12) may be filled with refrigerant by the following procedures.
Connect the suction (blue) service hose (5) to storage cylinder liquid valve by using the refrigerant cylinder adapter (provided from refrigerant supplier), open liquid valve on storage cylinder, open service hose quick coupling (5) and console blue hand valve (4)
Press “UP” key once to select the RECOVERY / TRANSFER function and press “START”.
By using “DOWN” key select TRANSFER (REFRIGERANT) and press “START”.
Now, select from two options:
– TOTAL TRANSFER (all refrigerant) or,
– PARTIAL TRANSFER (set the amount of refrigerant to be transferred).
Press “START” key and unit will automatically transfer refrigerant from storage cylinder to the unit cylinder (12).
When the selected amount of refrigerant is transferred, close the storage cylinder valve and allow the unit to recover the refrigerant from the service hose (5). Once the function is completed the unit will display symbol “DONE” and the amount of refrigerant transferred will be displayed in kg or lb on main display (2).
Important: Always keep a minimum of 2 kg in the cylinder (12).
-
Connecting to the A/C system
Use the service hose (5) quick-connect couplers to connect the hoses to the A/C system service ports, bearing in mind that BLUE must be connected to the low-pressure (suction) side and RED to high pressure (discharge) side.
If the system is equipped with a single service port, connect only the relative hose.
Winding the quick coupler hand wheel clockwise will allow the refrigerant to flow through the hoses. Turning hand wheel in opposite direction, the flow will be closed. If there is any refrigerant in the air-conditioning system, the pressure gauges will indicate a pressure rise.
Important: Console manifold hand valves (4) need to stay closed, NOT to allow refrigerant to enter into the unit until the required function has been selected.
The unit gauges (suction & discharge) are important and useful instruments. The operator should have basic understanding between gauge reading and air-conditioning system operation in order to correctly diagnose any possible system malfunction.
Set the transmission in neutral – park, start engine and turn the air conditioning on. Allow pressure gauge needles to stabilize and record the pressure readings.
Gauges reading may show particular problem or associate to a possible problems.
