1INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
1.1 General
Contamination and mislabelling of refrigerants either in storage cylinders or air conditioning systems can
lead to component corrosion, elevated head pressures and system failures when utilized by unsuspecting
technicians. The ability of the technician to determine refrigerant type and purity is severely hampered
by the presence of air when attempting to utilize temperature-pressure relations. The development of
various substitute refrigerants further complicates the ability of a technician to identify refrigerant purity
based upon temperature-pressure relationships. The substitute refrigerant blends can also introduce a
flammability hazard to the technician and the ultimate end user of the air conditioning system.
The Neutronics Ultima ID Pro Refrigerant Analyzer provides a fast, easy and accurate means to determine
refrigerant purity in refrigerant storage cylinders or directly in air conditioning systems. The instrument
utilizes non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology to determine the weight concentrations multiple of
refrigerant types. Refrigerant purity is displayed on the LCD Screen. The user must determine acceptable
levels of purity based on their recovery or use standards.
The instrument is supplied complete with a ¼” Flare Vapor sampling hose, a ¼” Flare Liquid sampling
assembly, a 100/240 VAC power transformer, built in printer, and all required plumbing housed within a
rugged, portable, storage case.
Sample gas is admitted into the instrument through one of the two supplied sampling hoses and
presented to the sensing device. The instrument provides the user with direct percent by weight
concentrations. Note that the instrument does not consider air to be a contaminant.
The instrument interfaces with the user with an LCD graphic display, status indicator lamps, push button
communication switches and an alarm horn. Alarm indications are provided to alert of instrument fault
conditions. Direct percent by weight concentrations of the sample refrigerant is provided on the display
as well as user directions and prompts. An on-board printer is provided to print an on-the-spot analysis
report.
The Neutronics Ultima ID Pro Refrigerant Analyzer provides the refrigerant technician with excellent
knowledge of refrigerant type and purity as well as protection against refrigerant contamination and
potential flammability.

2.3 Calibration
Air calibrations are only required periodically. A reminder to perform air calibrate will appear
after the unit has been powered up 30 times after the last air calibration. The air calibration
can be delayed (skipped) until it is convenient to allow the unit to cool down for at least 4
hours and be placed in a refrigerant-free environment. (Figures 3 and 4). When calibrating, the
unit willbring fresh air into the unit via an internal pump. This fresh air purges any excess
refrigerant and ensures accurate test results. Calibration requires that the hose be disconnected
from the refrigerant cylinder or air conditioning system. (Figure 5).

2.4 Vapor Sampling
Vapor sampling is the most common process used for identifying refrigerants using the Ultima ID
Pro. It is a simple process requiring the operator to take these 4 steps:
1) Connect the vapor sampling hose to instrument and then to the Low Side Vapor port of
the system or cylinder.
2) Open the low side valve of the cylinder and press test.
3) Disconnect the hose from the cylinder.
4) Disconnect the hose from the Ultima ID Pro for storage.
2.5 Liquid Sampling
Liquid sampling is an option that is exclusive to the Ultima ID Pro. It permits the user to flash
liquid into vapour for introduction into the analyzer. To use the liquid sampling assembly, follow
these seven steps:
1) Inspect the liquid sampling assembly and ensure that the plunger on the oil trap
syringe is completely depressed.
2) Connect the appropriate end of the hose to the instrument and the opposite end of the
liquid sampling assembly to the High Side Liquid port of the system or cylinder. Affix
the oil trap syringe vertically to the tank with the magnet.
3) Open the high side valve of the cylinder. The liquid sample will exit the tank and be
flashed to vapour by the hose assembly. As the liquid is flashed, the plunger on the oil
trap syringe will begin to rise and the flashed refrigerant sample will travel into the
analyzer.
4) Wait for the plunger on the oil trap syringe to expand past the outlet port.
5) Press test on the Analyzer.
6) Upon completion of the test, close the valve on the cylinder, disconnect the hose from
the inlet of the oil trap syringe, depress the plunger on the oil trap syringe to expel the
trapped oil.
7) Inspect the hose for signs of oil and replace the hose restrictor if necessary.
8) Disconnect the hose from the Ultima ID Pro

3.2 Changing the White Plastic Sample Filter
When inspecting the sample filter, look completely around the entire outside diameter of the white
filter element located inside of the clear plastic housing. Look for red spots or the beginnings of
discoloration on the white outside diameter of the element. Do not look into the round ends of the
white element for red spots or discoloration. The round ends of the filter may always appear red. If
red spots or discolorations are discovered on the outside diameter, the sample filter requires
replacement to prevent the influx of particulate and oil mists into the instrument.
Obtain a replacement filter, part number 6-02-6000-08-0. Remove the existing filter from the
retaining clip of the instrument by pulling straight up and out. CAREFULLY remove the flexible,
black rubber tubing connections from both ends of the existing filter. DO NOT allow the tubes to
slip back into the internal portion of the case. Discard the existing filter in an environmentally
friendly manner.
Install the tube ends onto the barbs of the replacement filter, taking note to align the flow arrow of
the filter with the flow arrow of the instrument top panel. CAREFULLY slide the tubing back into
the internal portion of the instrument and seat the new filter into the retaining clip. Inspect the
sample hoses for signs of oil entrapment. Replacement of the sample filter usually requires
cleaning or replacement of the sample hoses.
