Matters needing attention

Warning

• Only a qualified technician should operate this recovery unit.
• Before starting the equipment, make sure that it is well grounded.
• If using an electrical extension cord, the cord must be in good condition and properly connected and grounded.
• Only a qualified electrician can do the wire connection according to the technical standard and circuit diagram.
• The power must be cut off and no display in the LCD before inspecting or repairing.
• If the original power supply cord is damaged, an OEM replacement may be ordered through your NAVAC distributor.
• Please take the power supply and the capacity of your ammeter and electrical wire.
• Only authorized refillable refrigerant tanks can be used. The setting of the pressure limiting device shall not be lower than 45 bar(653psi). Do not overfill the recovery tank, maximum at 80% capacity to make sure that there is enough space for liquid expansion. Overfilling of the tank may cause an explosion.
• Always wear safety goggles and protective gloves while working with refrigerants to protect your skin and eye from hurting by refrigerant gases or liquid.
• Do not use this equipment near flammable liquid or gasoline.
• A digital scale is needed to prevent overfilling.
• Be sure that the place where you are working is thoroughly ventilated.

Notice

• Be sure the unit is working under the right power supply.
• When using an extension cord it should be a minimum of 14 AWG and no longer than 25 feet, otherwise it may cause the voltage drop and damage the compressor.
• The input pressure of the unit should not exceed 26 bar (377.0 psi).
• The unit needs to be laid horizontally, otherwise it will lead to unexpected vibration, noise or even abrasion.
• Do not expose the equipment to sun or rain.
• The ventilation opening of the unit must not be blocked.
• If the overload protector pops, reposition it after 5 minutes.
• When doing the self-purging operation, the knob must be turned slowly to “PURGE” to ensure the inlet pressure is less than 5 bar(72.5 psi).
• If a fluid hammer happens in the recovery, please turn the knob slowly to the “SLOW” position and do not let the reading pressure drop to zero.
• When you select a fast model to start work. please monitor output pressure, if the output pressure increases fast to 27 bar (391.6 psi), please turn to slow mode slowly and monitor the outlet pressure not exceeding 35 bar (507.6 psi).
• The equipment is intended for serving air-conditioning and refrigeration systems containing less than 200 lbs of high-pressure refrigerant.
• The tank and hose used must comply with the local regulations.

OPERATION MANUAL

1. Connect the power supply, the indicator light is on for 2 seconds and then off, press the button “ ” to keep it for more than 0.2 seconds and then release it to start the device; after an interval of more than 0.5s, press the button “ ” to keep it for more than 0.2 seconds and then release it to tum off the device, after more than 2 seconds, press the button “ ” to start the device.
2. Do not mix different refrigerants in one tank, otherwise, they cannot be separated or used.
3. Before recovering the refrigerant, the tank should achieve the vacuum level: of -29.6inHg, for purge non­condensable gases. Each tank was full of nitrogen when it was manufactured in the factory, thus the nitrogen should be evacuated before first use.
4. The knob should be in the “Close” Position before operation. All the valves must be closed, the input and output fittings should be covered with protective caps when the unit is not in operation. The air/ moisture is harmful to the recovery result and will shorten the life span of the unit.
5. A filter drier should always be used and should be replaced regularly. Each type of refrigerant must have its filter. For the sake of ensuring the normal operation of the unit, please use the high-quality filter drier specified. A high-quality filter drier will help protect the machine.
6. Special caution is needed when recovering from the system, and two dry filters are needed.
7. The unit has an Internal High-Pressure protector. If the pressure inside the system is above-rated shut-off pressure (see specification), the compressor will automatically shut off and the HP cutoff shows: To restart the compressor, please lower the internal pressure (Output gauge indicates lower than35 bar/507.6 PSI) after the HP cutoff blinks, then Press the “START” button to restart the compressor. When high-pressure protection initiates, please determine the cause and deal with it before restarting the unit.
8. The input valve of the refrigerant tank is closed–Opening the valve will help solve the problem.
9. The connecting hose between the recovery unit and refrigerant tank is plugged close all the valves and replace the connecting hose.
10. The temperature of the refrigerant tank is too high, causing high pressure- cool the tank down.
11. The unit is equipped with an O.F.P. socket and can be connected to a cylinder with a full liquid protection output using the O.F.P. connection cable. When the O.F.P. cable is not plugged in, the unit automatically blocks the O.F.P. function.
12. When recovering a large amount of liquid refrigerant, it is recommended to use the “push-pull mode”.
13. To ensure that there is no refrigerant in the equipment after recovery, please read the “self-cleaning” operation procedure in this instruction manual carefully. The residual liquid refrigerant in the condenser may expand and cause damage to the components.
14. The low-pressure gauge of this equipment indicates the pressure of the compressor inlet in the recovery machine; the high-pressure gauge indicates the pressure of the outlet.
15. After using the equipment, please turn the knob back to the “CLOSE” position.
