Quality Assurance

Description

VMV-1 built with Pirani professional vacuum sensor can precisely measure the vacuum level. From the measurement, you can therefore gather information about humidity and the removal of foreign matter (oil, foreign gases, etc.), and thus know the best status to fill refrigerants. VMV-1 can be used for the monitoring vacuum system, leaking detection and distinguishing the pump in quality.

Safety Instruction

1. The operation should according to this instruction and be within the scope of the specified parameters.
2. Replace the batteries with new ones when the power is low. Do not mix new batteries with old batteries, and different brands of batteries are forbidden. Remove all batteries if it remains unused for a long period.
3. Do not clean the instrument with corrosive detergents or solvents.
4. Wear goggles and protective gloves.
5. Tighten the copper cap and store in a dry place.

Operations

1. Install three “AA” batteries.
2. Long press and hold the power button CD for 3 seconds to turn the LCD light on. The display shows ” when the unit is completely warm-up.
3. Connected to the system directly or via connection accessories.
4. Start the vacuum pump, the display will show ultimate pressure from high to low. Once reached the target ultimate pressure, the vacuum meter buzzing alarms and the backlight will blink simultaneously for 10 seconds.
5. Press and hold the power button 0 for 3 seconds to turn the power off.

Unit Selection

Press the UNIT button to select the unit of measurement.

Set the Alarms

1. Press and hold the “SET” button for 3 seconds to enter into Set Mode.
2. Press the “SET” button to select digit position. The digit position will blink when it is selected.
3. Press the “UNIT” button to modify the blinking value.
4. Press the “SAVE/CAL” button to save the set value.

Vacuum leak alarm

The vacuum meter will buzz the alarm when the vacuum becomes poorer until to the setting value, and the backlight will blink simultaneously.

Backlight

Press the power button  to turn the backlight on when the instrument power on. The backlight will automatically turn off after 20 seconds.

Auto-off

The unit is set to automatically power off without any operation for 10 minutes.

Full-Scale Calibration

If the unit completes warm-up and the display does not shows ” —-“, press and hold button SAVE/CAL at atmospheric pressure for 3 seconds until the display shows”—-“

Zero Calibration

Connect vacuum meter to the vacuum system, when the vacuum level of the system reaches 0.1 Pa, and then press and hold button “SAVE/CAL” for 3 seconds until the display shows “0.1 Pa” to complete the zero calibration.

Sensor cleaning

During the procedure, it is possible that the sensor is polluted by foreign matter, and then you need to clean the sensor. Follow these instructions:

1. Turn off the vacuum gauge, and remove all the batteries.
2. Shake out the foreign matter.
3. Using an eyedropper or a syringe, fill the sensor chamber with alcohol or isopropanol. Tighten the copper cap, and then rinse the sensor chamber 3-4 times with alcohol or isopropanol.
4. Thoroughly dry the sensor by vacuolization or at least 2 hours of air dry.
5. Inspect the vacuum meter and make a Zero Calibration.

Battery Installation

Remove battery compartment cover, install three “AA” batteries and make sure it is in the correct polarity. Attention: Remove all batteries from the instrument if it remains unused for a long period.

Troubleshooting

/Clean the sensor
There is a vacuum degree in start-up
while inaccuracy of full scale| Please full-scale calibration under atmospheric environment. if the degree of fullness caused by the refrigerant is not allowed, please hold for 24 hours and then calibrate the full scale.
