PRODUCT SAFETY:
These units have been designed to meet the requirements of the Standard for Refrigerant Recovery
Machines, UL1963 and AS4211.3 - 1996. In order to fully meet safety requirements, the recovery
operation must always be performed using an approved storage cylinder with a shuto switch,
which is properly connected to the unit’s Over Fill Protection circuit (available as factory option). If an
approved cylinder with overll is not available always use an approved scale to monitor the cylinders
capacity. Additionally, approved refrigerant hoses must be used which have shut-o devices within
12 inches of the ends to reduce the likelihood of refrigerant leakage to the atmosphere when
changing cylinders or setups.

2.0 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2.1 THIS EQUIPMENT MUST ALWAYS BE OPERATED BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN WHO
IS FAMILIAR WITH REFRIGERANT SYSTEMS, REFRIGERANTS, REFRIGERANT SAFETY AND
LOCAL REQUIREMENTS.
2.2 READ THIS MANUAL and become familiar with the specications and operation of this machine
prior to use.
2.3 WEAR APPROPRIATE SAFETY PROTECTION APPAREL such as gloves, eye protection and
foot protection when working on refrigeration systems.
2.4 REFRIGERANT VAPOUR CAN BE HAZARDOUS AND ITS BYPRODUCTS CAN BE LETHAL
- work only in well ventilated areas. When working indoors, ensure there is adequate airow in the
workspace and install a separate circulation fan if necessary. DO NOT WORK IN AN ENCLOSED
AREA without special safety equipment as appropriate for the conditions.
2.5 KNOW THE PROPER SAFETY AND HANDLING REQUIREMENTS for the refrigerant being
recovered by reviewing the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and the temperature - vapour
pressure information.
2.6 PERFORM LEAK DETECTION in accordance with recommended practice only. For best results
use only a refrigerant detector such as the JAVAC D-TEK or TEK- Mate. NEVER USE OXYGEN for
this process as it can become an explosive mixture in the presence of oil and pressure.
2.7 NEVER OVERFILL A STORAGE CONTAINER. The use of a refrigerant scale, such as the
JAVAC Pro-Charge, is required to prevent overll. OVERFILLED CYLINDERS CAN RUPTURE
EXPLOSIVELY!
2.8 STORE REFRIGERANTS in a cool, dry place.
2.9 SEPARATE DIFFERENT REFRIGERANTS. Avoid mixing refrigerants by using sepa-rate storage
cylinders and lters for each type recovered.
2.10 OPEN SERVICE OR CYLINDER VALVES SLOWLY to ensure that all connections are tight and
there is no danger.
2.11 DISCONNECT POWER before moving or servicing the recovery unit. CAUTION - these units
should be opened only by a technically qualied person who has been trained in basic electronics
and refrigeration. The risk of ELECTRIC SHOCK and exposure to HOT compressor parts is possible
if the unit is opened.
2.12 WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, EXTENSION CORDS SHOULD NOT BE USED
with this equipment as the wiring can overheat under conditions of high current draw. If an extension
cord is absolutely necessary, its length should be as short as possible and it should contain size 16
AWG (1.291 mm) or larger wiring.

2.13 FLAMMABLE ENVIRONMENTS ARE DANGEROUS when any machine is used because
motors and switches can generate sparks. This equipment should be used in locations with
mechanical ventilation providing at least four air changes per hour, or the equipment should be
located at least 18” above the oor. DO NOT USE THIS EQUIPMENT IN THE VICINITY OF
SPILLED OR OPEN CONTAINERS OF GASOLINE OR ANY OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUID.
2.14 MOISTURE can cause severe damage when introduced to the internal parts of a refrigeration
system. Ensure that care is exercised in the leak detection, recovery, repair and relling of a system
to prevent moisture from entering. Always use a quality high vacuum pump such as a Javac Vector
to ensure the system is totally dehydrated. An electronic total pressure gauge such as the JAVAC
Acravac should also be used to monitor the pressure.
2.15 USE CAUTION WHEN OPERATING OUTDOORS. Be certain that the power cord, the cylinder
safety cord and the unit itself are not placed in water or other potentially dangerous locations. While
these recovery machines are very safe to operate, using in environments such as hard rain or sand
and dust storms should be avoided.
2.16 CAUTION - EXERCISE CARE WHEN MOVING the equipment to prevent the risk of injury.

required, that it contains a safety ground wire and that it contains wires sized 16 AWG (1.291 mm) or
larger.
5.1.5 Make sure the recovery unit is set in a stable position and that it is reasonably level; observe
all safety precautions previously noted. Ensure that the fan inlet and discharge areas on both sides of
the machine are clear from obstructions.
5.1.6 Check all connections to ensure they are tight before starting the recovery operation.
5.1.7 The XTR-PRO-DV and XTR-ALTIMA A2L are liquid tolerant recovery machines. It is important
to remember to START the machine before opening the INLET valve. Should the compressor start to
‘Knock’, close the INLET valve immediately and while it is still running, slowly open the valve again.
5.1.8 Use a refrigerant scale to ensure that the cylinder is not lled to more than 80% of its capacity
by weight. When operating in the NORMAL RECOVERY or PUSH-PULL mode without the cylinder
shuto it is possible to overll the cylinder. If you are not sure, check the cylinder weight before
transporting. Refer to section 10.0 of this manual. OVERFILLED CYLINDERS CAN RUPTURE
EXPLOSIVELY!
5.2 NORMAL RECOVERY OPERATION

SET-UP PROCEDURE FOR NORMAL REFRIGERANT RECOVERY
5.2.2 Switch o the power to the unit being serviced. If the power switch is in a remote location, LOCK
it out so that no one will accidentally turn it back on.
5.2.3 Make sure that the discharge hose from the recovery unit to the Recovery Cylinder is attached
to the LIQUID PORT. If cylinder contains refrigerant, partially open liquid valve and purge hose from
recover unit discharge port end. If cylinder is empty and pre–evacuated, refer to section 5.2.4.4 and
use incoming refrigerant to purge discharge hose from cylinder port end. Open cylinder liquid valve fully
after purging hose.
5.2.4 Set the rocovery unit for RECOVERY.
5.2.4.1 OPEN DISCHARGE valve (V3) to its fully open position.
5.2.4.2 SET PURGE/RECOVERY valve (V2) to RECOVERY position.
5.2.4.3 Open the Manifold Gauge VAPOUR valve slowly and verify that no leaks are present. Open
vapour valve fully and partially open liquid valve. Do not attempt to recover 100% liquid.
5.2.4.4 At this point use incoming refrigerant to purge hose.
5.2.5 Switch ON the recovery unit and verify that the compressor is operating and cooling air is
exhausting from the back of the machine.
5.2.6 MONITOR the inlet pressure (LP, Low Pressure Gauge) and SLOWLY OPEN the recovery unit
INLET valve (V1) fully. If the compressor ‘knocks’ shut V1 immediately, then close manifold liquid valve.
Open V1 while the machine is running and continue to recover in vapour phase.
5.2.7 Continue to operate until the required VACUUM has been pulled on the system (refer to Section
10.0 of this Manual), as indicated by the LP gauge. Switch OFF the recovery unit, CLOSE the INLET
(V1), and wait for 5 minutes. If the Pressure in the system, as indicated on the Manifold Gauge, rises
above 0 Kpa, refrigerant is still present. If so, RESTART Recovery Machine, REOPEN the INLET (V1) and
run until the required VACUUM is reached again. Repeat this process until all the refrigerant is removed
resulting in a nal reading of 0 Kpa or less.
5.2.8 TERMINATE the RECOVERY operation.
5.2.8.1 CLOSE Manifold Gauge Liquid and Vapor valves.
5.2.8.2 CLOSE XTR-PRO-DV INLET Valve (V1).
5.2.8.3 Switch POWER OFF.
5.2.8.4 It is a good practice to purge the Recovery Machine after each use.
Refer to section 5.3 of this manual.

5.0 SET UP AND OPERATION continued
5.3 PURGING THE RECOVERY UNIT
5.3.1 While the recovery machine is running, rotate INLET Valve (V1) to CLOSE position.
5.3.2 Rotate PURGE/RECOVERY valve (V2) to PURGE position. Leave DISCHARGE (V3) open.
5.3.3 Slowly rotate Inlet V1 to PURGE position.
5.3.4 Observe LP gauge and continue to run the unit until a VACUUM is achieved. Switch POWER
OFF and CLOSE the recovery cylinder valve. Return INLET valve (V1) to CLOSE position and close
the V3.
5.3.5 IMPORTANT - Return V2 to RECOVERY Position.
5.3.6 CAUTION - THE DISCHARGE PORT AND HOSE WILL CONTAIN A SMALL AMOUNT OF
REFRIGERANT UNDER PRESSURE. EXERCISE CARE WHEN REMOVING THIS HOSE AND
OPENING V3 VALVE.
5.3.7 REMOVE all hoses and cables and prepare the machine and the recovery
cylinder for transport.
5.3.8 When changing refrigerants or reconnecting to a cylinder always purge the hoses and the
recovery machines ports with refrigerant, (or evacuate lines), to prevent air entering the recovery
process.

5.4 PUSH/PULL OPERATION
5.4.1 The PUSH PULL method is used to move a large amount of liquid refrigerant from the system
being serviced to the recovery cylinder without passing it through the compressor. This method is
only useful when more than 7 Kg of liquid is known to be in the system and it can be easily isolated.
DO NOT ATTEMPT the PUSH PULL process unless you are sure of the situation.
5.4.2 Connect the refrigerant hoses as shown below. Addition of a SIGHT GLASS in line between the
system being serviced and the recovery cylinder can be an important aid to determine when all the
liquid has been transferred and only vapour remains.
5.4.3 This process uses the PULL from the exhausted recovery cylinder and the Discharge PUSH
from the recovery unit to move the liquid refrigerant. Rates in excess of 5 Kg per minute can be
achieved by this procedure.
5.4.4 The SCALE is required in this process to ensure that the cylinder is not overlled. The cylinder
shuto switch, if used, would stop the compressor but could not guarantee that additional refrigerant
ow would cease because of the dynamics of the system, thus possibly overlling the cylinder.

pressure is too high to complete the recovery process. This can occur when working with certain
refrigerants with a high vapour pressure in high ambient temperatures.
5.5.2 If the recovery process stalls out because of high head pressure, stop the recovery unit, shut
o the hose valves and recongure the setup as shown below. This can also be done before starting
the recovery process but it may have marginal long term eect. NOTE: This will only work if there is at
least 5 Kg of liquid in the recovery cylinder to develop the necessary pressure dierential required.
5.5.3 POWER ON the recovery unit and ROTATE the DISCHARGE Valve (V3) to achieve a pressure
dierential of at least 700 Kpa between the LP Gauge and the HP Gauge. KEEP THE HP BELOW
2500 Kpa on the HP Gauge to ensure that the HP Cut-O Switch will not actuate.
5.5.4 After several minutes of running, the cylinder will be cold. POWER OFF the recovery unit and
recongure the setup for NORMAL RECOVERY. Repeat as needed.

5.6 SPECIAL OPERATING NOTES
5.6.1 During normal operation, when the High Pressure switch activates, the machine will restart
automatically when the head pressure drops below approximately 2500 Kpa.
5.6.2 When the Optional Pressure Control Circuit is installed and when the High-Pressure switch
activates, the machine must be cycled OFF and back ON for the compressor to restart. The “High
Pressure Cut Out” signal light (red) will illuminate when activated.
5.6.3 When the optional Press Control Circuit is installed and when low pressure switch activates
on completion of recovery, the machine must be cycled OFF and back ON for compressor to restart.
Green LED will illuminate when LP is activated.
5.6.4 When optional Low-Pressure Override is installed, compressor can be restarted after LP CUT-
OUT activation by pressing the black switch. This will allow to achieve a further vacuum beyond the
LP cutout range.
5.6.5 When optional Cylinder/Tank Overll Protection Device is installed and if the CT-OFD Cable is
not connected or Cylinder/Tank is full, the yellow “Cylinder Full” signal light will be illuminated. When
this is the case, the compression will start briey if the power is cycled OFF and ON again but will not
run for more than a few seconds. This is normal operation.
5.7 STORAGE
5.7.1 When the recovery process has been completed, carefully coil the Power Cord, the Refrigerant
Hoses and the Cylinder Overll Protection Cord (if used), ensuring that no dirt or foreign material is
left in the ends or on the connectors.
5.7.2 Place the recovery unit in the service vehicle in its upright position and store the hoses and
cords nearby. Provide reasonable care to place the unit where it will not be subjected to accidental
damage due to shifting items during transit or to heavier objects being placed on its top.
5.7.3 The unit can be stored safely in temperatures of 00 - 500 C and humidity levels up to 95%
RH. When stored in conditions that are severe, the unit may need to stabilize in the range 100
- 400C before it will oer optimum operating performance. For best results, store the unit in an
environmentally controlled area when not in use.
5.7.4 Always purge and vent the machine prior to storage, close V1 & V3 and leave V2 in the
Recover Position.

6.0 APPROVED ACCESSORY ITEMS
The XTR-PRO-DV and XTR-ALTIMA A2L Refrigerant Recovery Machines require the proper accessory
items to ensure the best performance. The following items are specically identied to ensure
safety and operational requirements are met. Check with your Wholesaler to ensure that the proper
selections have been made.
6.1 REFRIGERANT HOSES should be made with approved materials, should be as short as
possible to perform the required operations and should have shut-o devices within 300 mm of
the ends.
Approved hoses are: Refrigerant Hoses with UL Recognition and 20000 Kpa Burst Strength.
6.2 RECOVERY CYLINDERS should be approved and have an appropriate pressure rating for the
refrigerant being recovered. Choose the size (normally 20 or 60 Kg) that is right for the job, and be
sure they have a cylinder full oat switch.
Approved cylinders are: Refrigerant cylinders with Brad Harrison 3 pin connectors.
6.3 FILTERS should be selected to protect the Inlet of the recovery machine from particles of
dust, metal and other foreign materials that may be present in the refrigeration system. If servicing
a system with a burned out compressor, 2 or more FILTERS in series may be necessary, and they
should be discarded immediately after use.
Approved lters are: Filters UL recognized/CSA listed for Refrigeration Service.
6.4 EXTENSION CORDS, when necessary, should be as short as possible and should contain size
16 AWG (1.291 mm) or larger conductors. This is necessary to avoid overheating during periods of
high current draw and minimize the risk of re. The longer the extension cord required at the work
site, the larger the conductor size should be particularly for runs over 10m.
6.5 CYLINDER/TANK OVER FILL DEVICE (CT - OFD), the JAVAC XTR-PRO-DV and XTR-ALTIMA
A2L have been designed to incorporate an integrated Pressure Control Circuit. The CT - OFD
upgrades the machine to a latching High-Pressure switch, (as opposed to automatic). Allows
provision for an optional factory tted Low Pressure switch, plus low voltage input, which, can be
used to connect to cylinders, which incorporate, oats, cylinder scales or timers etc.
NOTE: Because not all cylinders are available with Brad Harrison 3 pin connectors the facility will vary
depending upon the market.

7.0 MAINTENANCE
7.1 Your recovery machine will provide many seasons of reliable service if it is properly maintained.
The actual maintenance requirements are minimal but important.
7.2 Keep the unit clean by wiping it down with a damp cloth to remove dirt, oils, etc. Prior to storage
for the day. Standard household detergent or isopropyl alcohol may be used if the unit is particularly
dirty; in all cases, exercise care to prevent liquids from entering the unit. Gasoline and other solvents
are to be avoided as they can damage the plastic enclosure and are hazardous.
7.3 Clean inlet particle lter regularly. Discard internal lter screen if it is heavily contaminated and
replace with a new screen. Replace screen as per sketch for eciency.
7.4 Ensure that the Inlet and Discharge ports are protected and kept clean by replacing the plastic
caps after every use. For best results, keep a FILTER permanently connected to the INLET port and
change it regularly.
7.5 Change HOSES periodically as they develop leaks and a build-up of contaminants over time.
Change hoses at least once per season.
7.6 When storing the recovery machine for the season, or for long periods of time, PURGE the unit
with an inert gas such as nitrogen.
7.7 When performance falls o it is likely that the compressor seals require replacing. This is normal
with use and may occur after a year or two or more often, depending upon the conditions that are
prevalent during the recovery operations. Contact your Wholesaler for assistance in selecting the
proper maintenance kit.
