Instruction

---|---
Selected refrigerant| Refrigerant scale setting
refrigeration mode| Heat pump mode
Automatic mode|

The timer on the status bar on top starts timing automatically once the user enters this page. The purpose is to record the time user spend on this page.
Choose the right refrigerant first to avoid affecting the temperature calculation. Click to select the desired refrigerant. The selected refrigerant will be shown on the icon.
The pressure and temperature measurement interface to measure and display the pressure for the low-pressure side, the corresponding evaporation saturation temperature, low-pressure pipeline temperature and superheat as well as the pressure for the high-pressure side, the corresponding condensation saturation temperature, high-pressure pipeline temperature, and supercooling. Other than these, the different temperature of the low-pressure pipe and high-pressure pipe, and charging/recovery weight value can be measured and displayed as well. There are three measurement modes in the page: refrigeration mode, heat pump mode, and automatic mode.
Refrigeration mode : This is the regular mode.
Heat pump mode: high-pressure parameters and low-pressure parameters will be switching display positions.
Automatic mode : The display position of the corresponding parameters will be switched automatically when the pressure of the low-pressure side is 1 bar higher than the high-pressure side.

Switching between dial mode and curve mode.

Simply click on the middle of the dial meter to switch to curve mode. Click • to switch back to dial mode.

Charging and recovery function

Shows the current status and weight, press to enter the charging and recovery settings page. After the setting is done, click  to save the setting and return to the pressure-temperature measurement page.

There is no weight display if the current device is not connected to the refrigerant scale.

5.4 Pressure Holding Measurement

• The timer on the status bar on top starts timing automatically once the user enters this page. The purpose is to record the time user spend on this page.

• indicate the temperature compensation has been enabled or disabled. It can be set in the pressure-holding settings interface.
  Temperature compensation enabled: The device will monitor the current ambient temperature in real-time to reduce the pressure variation error caused by the change in the ambient temperature.

• Temperature compensation disabled: Device calculate based on the measured pressure.

• Click to set decay ratio and pressure-holding time and choose if to enable or disable the temperature compensation based on the actual situation.

• Click to start the pressure-holding test. The countdown timer starts to elapse according to the duration that has been set. During the process, the device calculates the pressure variants and the deflation rate automatically based on the current and initial value. The test failed if the current value is less than the alarm value; the test passed if the current value is greater than the alarm value and exceeds the pressure-holding duration.

Switching between dial mode and curve mode

Simply click on the middle of the dial meter to switch to curve mode. Click to switch back to dial mode.

5.5 Vacuum Measurement

• The timer on the status bar on top starts timing automatically once the user enters this page. The purpose is to record the time user spend on this page. The “Start” and “Alarm Setting” button is not displayed yet.
• Click to select the preset vacuum target value. The device calculates the remaining time based on the targeted value and rate.

The remaining time rest is for reference only.

• Working time : It is to set the current vacuum duration. The alarm goes off if the duration has exceeded without achieving the targeted value.
• If the duration is not exceeded and the targeted value is reached, it prompts that the leak test can be performed.
• The “Starts” and “Alarm Settings” are displayed now.
• Click to enter the alarm setting interface
• Click to enter the leak test based on the alarm set value. The parameters displayed in the vacuum interface will be switched to speed, test duration, and alarm value. During the leak test duration, if the leakage is greater than the set alarm value, the leak warning will be prompted. Otherwise, the test is passed.

Switching between dial mode and curve mode

Simply click on the middle of the dial meter to switch to curve mode. Click to switch back to dial mode.

1. This function has to work with the vacuum transmitter. Please plug the transmitter into the socket at the right of the device.
2. The timer on the status bar will be reset if the Working Time was re-set.

5.6 Refrigerant Electronic Scale

• The timer on the status bar on top starts timing automatically once user enter this page. The purpose is to record the time user spend on this page.

This function works only if the device is connected to the refrigerant scale. It is to control and set up the scale.

• Reset button, to reset the current weight.
• Set to Charging mode
• Set to Recovery Mode
• To manually control the solenoid valve to be opened or closed. The OFF/ON button on the icon indicates the current status of the solenoid valve.
• The solenoid valve automatically shuts off when the charging/recovery amount reaches the set target value. •
• Displays the last set charging or recovery value.

Charging and recovery settings

Press to enter the charging/recovery setting interface The settings box will be displayed in two rows (1st row- lbs/kg; 2nd row- oz/g) according to the set weight: unit. Click on the rows one by one, key in the value with the keypad on the right. Click the “checked” to Save. Click to delete and reset the value.
Press the Return key, and the charging/ recovery setting is completed.

Failed to turn on the device| | Connect the device to the charger and try to turn it on after 5 minutes.
Touch screen doesn’t work| | Make sure the environment temperature is within the working temperature range (-20-60°C/-4-140°F).
The measured temperature shows ” —“| | Check if the temperature clamp is fully connected or if the
measuring temperature is out of the measurement range.
Pressure zone display “—“| | Pressure overload or uncalibrated
The pressure value shows large error| | Please place the device in the atmospheric environment to calibrate zero.
Vacuum displa y “—-“| | The system has a large leak, or the vacuum transmitter data is abnormal.
No response after clicking the interface button| | System crashes. Long press the Power button for 7s to restart the system.
