DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE
IDEA TRONIC is an “integrated” device composed by two connected parts, a base and a
hand-held equipment which, once connected to any refrigerating or air-conditioning system
will allow you, without more disconnecting, to: 1) RECOVER THE REFRIGERANT GAS,
2) MAKE THE VACUUM, 3) CHECK FOR POSSIBLE LEAKS, 4) MAKE THE CHARGE
WITH GRAM ACCURACY, 5) CHECK IF THE CARRIED OUT CHARGE IS CORRECT.

1 - Screw the 1A nut (point 6) on the vacuum pump connecting port.
2 - Put the bracket (point 5) on the base of the 1A nut and screw it with 1B nut +
washer (point 4).
3 - Connect the yellow hose (point 1) to the 1A nut and to the vacuum connecting port
of the Idea Tronic (point 2).
4 - Select the appropriate reduction before screwing the cylinder (check page 8).

SWITCHING ON OF THE EQUIPMENT
Move the power switch to position “1” and wait for instructions that appear on the
display (starting screen).
LANGUAGE AND/OR CONTRAST MODIFICATION
If you need to change the language or to increase / decrease the display contrast, press

validate the preference. e same procedure must be made to increase or decrease the
brightness of the display, dealing on the bar that appears on the display. en press “ente
key to switch to the second screen, that is the choice of refrigerant fluid and charge
(selectable in charge by weight or charge by pressure).

NB: Connect the appropriate adapter
R134 - R600a: do not connect any adapter.

CONNECTION OF 5 - 10 - 12 - 40 KG. CYLINDERS
Preparation of the base
1. Screw the 1/4” F. Sae
adapter for 1 kg. cylinder to
the base
1. Double valve cylinder
2. Single valve cylinder
Use the cylinder in vertical position if
the valve has a dual output, Blue - Red.
In this case, connect the hose to the Red
output to use the refrigerant uid in the
liquid phase.
1. Open the gas tap
2. Turn the cylinder upside-down to use
the refrigerant uid in the liquid phase.
SUGGESTIONS FOR THE CHARGE BY PRESSURE PROCEDURE
If you use a cylinder bigger than 2 kg., the “charge by pressure” is recommended.
If you know the exact quantity to ll inside the system, it is possible to reduce the charging time,
using a 80 kg. scale (optional at page 18).
Aer vacuum procedure, open the GAS tap to make charge procedure without disconnecting
from the system.
It is at the operator discretion to keep the IDEA TRONIC switched on or switched o.
1. Screw the 1/4” M. Sae
nipple to the adapter
1. Connect the 1/4” Sae M.
hose to the cylinder

SCREEN 2
CHOICE OF REFR. FLUID – BT, TN, AC AND CHARGE METHOD
Set up the kind of refrigerant uid and the charge method, sliding the arrow keys “ “
and pressing “enteraer choosing the convenient option.
N.B.: for some refrigerant uids it is possible to select TN (positive temperature) suitable
for refrigeration cabinets for drinks etc., BT (negative temperature) suitable for domestic
refrigerators etc. or AC, suitable for air-conditioning systems.
You will then be asked to select the opportune charge method, it means by weight, if you
work with 1 or 2 kg. cylinders screwed on IDEA TRONIC, or by pressure, if you do not
know the quantity of refrigerant uid to ll inside the system and/or if you use cylinders
bigger than 2 kg.
