Matters needing attention

Warning

For recovering only HVAC/R refrigerants from sealed HVAC/R systems. Warranty VOIDED if used for any other purposes.
Only a qualified technician should operate this recovery unit.
Before starting the equipment, make sure that it is well grounded.
If using electrical extension cord, the cord must be in good condition and properly
Only a qualified electrician can do the wire connection according to the technical standard and circuit diagram. connected and grounded.
The power must be cut off and no display in 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 power supply and the capacity of your ammeter and electrical wire.

GENERAL SAFETY

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 a violent 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.

Be sure the unit is working under the right power supply. When using an extension cord it should be minimum 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 26bar(377.0psi) . The unit need to be laid in 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 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 fluid hammer happens in the recovery, please turn the knob slowly to “SLOW” position and do not let reading pressure drop to zero. When you select fast model to start work, please monitor output pressure, if the output pressure increase fast to 27bar(391 .6 psi),please turn to slow mode slowly and monitor the outlet pressure not exceeding 35bar(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 with the local regulations.

INTRODUCTION OF OPERATION PANEL

text

Start/Stop: Starts and Stops recovery unit LP Switch: Hold for 3 seconds to switch between LP1 , LP2, LP3 Units/Zero: Press to change units to lnHg, Kpa, Psi, Kg/f, Bar, Mpa. Hold for 3 seconds to zero out readings Cancel Alarm: Hold for 3 Seconds to mute recovery unit LP1 : (Auto shutoff with manual restart)
If the inlet pressure is lower than -20inHg for 20 seconds, the unit will shut down. “LP Cutoff’ will be displayed. When LP 2: 0 inHg you must press START to restart the recovery unit LP2: (Auto Shutoff with automatic restart) If the inlet pressure is lower than -20 inHg for 20 seconds the unit will shutdown “LP Cutoff’ is displayed. When LP 2: 0 inHg the unit will restart automatically LP3: (Continuous Run)The recovery unit will run continuously, no matter what the level the input pressure is (LP)

O.F.P Cutoff: Will Light up when the recovery cylinder is 80% filled, or if the OFP cable is shorted. The machine will stop running LP Cutoff: Will light up when low pressure switch is activated for more than 20 seconds below -20 inHg HP Cutoff: Will Light up when high pressure switch is activated above 560 Psi

Close: Inlet valve is closed Recover: Input valve is partially opened Fast: Input valve is fully opened SLOW VoUT Purge: Input closed, and output is opened to allow the unit to remove most of the refrigerant inside the recovery machine

Fault: Error Codes

  • E 1: The pressure sensor is disconnected
  • Fault 2: Input voltage is too low
  • Fault 3: High input voltage
  • Fault 4: Overcurrent protection
  • Fault 5: Temperature sensor open
  • Fault 6: Temperature sensor short circuit
  • Fault 7: Temperature protector open

Mute: Audible alerts and beeps are turned off
Fan: This icon rotates while the machine is running. When the machine stops, the icon stops rotating
Restart: It will flash after an error has occurred and settled. Pressing START will resume activity.
