4. Main components location_
1. Low Pressure and High Pressure gauges - Two large analogue gauges display suction
and discharge pressures. The gauges are mounted on the front panel for easy viewing by the
operator. Pressures are displayed in Bar & PSI and temperatures in degrees Celsius.
2. LED & LCD Displays - LED numerical display and LCD display below inform the operator on
weight of refrigerant and oil currently in the unit vessels, remaining vacuum time, the amount of
refrigerant and oil being recovered or charged, data base of vehicles and unit set up...
3. LED group and membrane switches (keys) - Six LED indicates the mode and status of the
unit. These are used in conjunction with 6 membrane switches (keys) to select the unit
functions. Further, once the mode is in operation the pattern in which the Led’s flash, indicate
the activity of the system. These can be viewed from several metres away.
4. Hand Valves - The console hand manifold valves allows the operator to control the flow of
the refrigerant (if desired).
5. Discharge & Suction Service Hoses - A pair of 3m hoses are connected to the console,
which allows the operator to connect the system to the vehicle air-conditioning system service
ports for testing system pressures, recovering and recharging refrigerant, oil and/or UV dye.
6. Service Hose Quick Couplers - Service hose quick couplers allows the operator to connect
the unit to the vehicle air-conditioning system service ports, without exhausting the refrigerant in
to the environment.
7. Moisture Indicator - The moisture indicator is conveniently mounted below the console for
added protection to indicate the condition of refrigerant and filter change intervals. The following
colours correspond to the following moisture content: Green or Blue Dry, Yellow or Pink Wet.

8. Vacuum Pump Oil Level - Oil level must be checked when the pump is running, the oil level
should be even with the horizontal line on the vacuum pump sight glass. Under filling with oil will
result in poor vacuum performance. Overfilling can result in oil blowing out from the vacuum
pump exhaust.
9. Recovered Oil Drain Reservoir - Plastic vessel of 250ml is mounted on the right rear of the
unit to electronically gauge the amount of oil recovered from the air-conditioning system, if any.
10. Oil Storage Reservoir - Plastic vessel of 250ml is mounted on the left rear of the unit to
electronically inject the recovered amount of oil back in to air conditioning system, or to select
the desired amount of oil to be injected.
11. UV DYE Storage Reservoir - Plastic vessel of 250ml is mounted on the lower left rear of
the unit (below the Oil Reservoir) to electronically inject UV Dye in to air- conditioning system.
12. Refrigerant Cylinder - 27kg capacity cylinder is used to store the recovered/recycled
refrigerant. The cylinder is secured with strap to the platform.
13. Cylinder Non-Condensable Indicator - A large pressure gauge is mounted on the back
upper left side of the unit to indicate to the technician of any non-condensable (air) built up in
the storage cylinder.
14. USB port – Connection with PC
15. Cylinder Vapour Hose (Blue) - Connecting the cylinder vapour valve (blue) with the unit
16. Cylinder Liquid Hose (Red) with Ball Valve - Connecting the cylinder liquid valve (red)
with the unit
17. Brass Adapter – For connection of the suction service hose (5) to a storage refrigerant
cylinder valve.
18. Power Lead with Fuse - 10A
19. Main Power Switch
20. Printer - After completion of every operation the unit will print a report

5. Preparing the Machine for the First Use_
Perform the following steps to prepare the unit before the first use.
1. Remove the shrink wrap and styrofoam insert behind the cylinder (12) (see figure 1).
2. Check to ensure that all of the accessory
components are with the unit:
- Cylinder (12)
- Adapter (17)
- Cylinder vapour hose (blue) (15)
- Cylinder liquid hose (red) with ball valve (16)
- Service hoses with quick couplers (5)
- User's manual
- Cylinder strap
3. Check that the cylinder (12) is already placed on the platform and properly secured with the
strap provided. Unscrew two securing M6 bolts situated on each side of the platform base
app. 3-4 mm and LOCK the locking nut, making sure that there is 3mm clearance between the
end of the safety bolt and the base of the machine.

4. Check the vacuum pump oil level (8).
The oil level should be even with the horizontal
line on the vacuum pump sight glass when the
pump is running.
5. 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.
6. 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).

7. Mode Selection.
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.
8. Check if both cylinder (12) valves and liquid hose (16) ball valve are open.
9. 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).
10. 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.
