1 GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
1 2
1. Read all safety, operating guidelines and instructions before operating
this unit.
2. Only a qualified technician should operate this recovery unit.
3. Always wear safety goggles and protective gloves when working with
refrigerants to protect your skin and eyes from refrigerant gases or
liquid. Avoid contact with refrigerant.
4. Do not expose the equipment the sun or rain.
5. Be sure that any room where you are working is thoroughly ventilated.
6. Use ONLY authorized refillable refrigerant tanks. The max working
pressure of the recovery tanks must be over 400psi.
7. Do not overfill the recovery tank. Tank is full at 80% volume. There
should be enough space for liquid expansion. Overfilling may cause a
explosion.
8. Do not exceed the working pressure of recovery tank cylinder.
9. Do not mix different refrigerants together in one tank.
10. Before recovering the refrigerant, the tank should achieve the vacuum
level: -14.5psi, which is for purging non-condensable gases.
11. When the unit is not used, all the valves must be closed, while the input
and output fittings should be covered with protective caps, since the
air or moisture may affect the recovery result and shorten the service life
of the unit.
12. When using an extension cord, it should be a 14AWG minimum and no
longer than 98.4 feet, or it may cause a the voltage drop and damage the
compressor.
13. A filter drier should always be used and replaced frequently. Each type
of refrigerant must have its own filter. To ensure the normal operation
of the unit, please use the filter specified by our company. High quality
filter driers will bring high performance.
14. Special care should be taken when recovering from a “burned-out”
system. Use two high acid capacity filters, in series. When the recovery
process is complete, flush unit with a small amount of clean refrigerant
and refrigerant oil to purge off the foreign substances left in the unit.
15. The unit has an Internal High Pressure Shut-Off Switch. If the pressure
inside the system is above 558.25psi, the unit will automatically shut off
and the Red Alarm Light turns on (item 8 on the parts diagram). Before
you restart the unit, determine the cause for high pressure. After you
have determined the cause and made corrections reduce the internal
pressure until the Red Alarm Light turns off. Press the start button
(item 7 on the parts diagram) to restart the compressor. When the system
is at high pressure protection, find out the cause; solve the problem before
you restart the system.
-Solution for possible cause for High Pressure Shut-Off:
1) Open the output valve of the unit.
2) Open the input valve of the recovery tank.
3) Check if the hose connected between the unit and the recovery tank
for blockage. If yes, please close the output valve of the unit and the
input valve of the recovery tank and replace the hose.
4) Cool down the recovery tank which is at high temperature or high
pressure (Please refer to the procedure recovery tank cooling method
on Page 13).
16. Make sure the power supply is off when self-purging.
17. The unit has an Internal Low Pressure Shut-Off Switch. If the pressure
inside the system is below -2.45~-6.86psi, the unit will automatically shut
off and the Green Complete Light turns on (item 8 on parts diagram).
Before restarting the compressor, please increase the input pressure to
3 4
2 above 11.35lbs/in and press the start button (item 7 on the parts diagram).
18. If this unit is designed for recovery tank with float level sensor, the 80%
O.F. P Float Cable (item 12 on the parts diagram) must be connected
with the recovery tank before the unit starts. While in operation, if the
weight of recovered liquid refrigerant reaches 80% capacity of the tank,
the unit will automatically stop running and the Red Alarm Light turns
on (80% O.F.P ALARM- item 7 on the parts diagram). Exchange the
full tank with an empty tank and then press the Start Button (RESTART- item
7 on the parts diagram).
19. If the recovery tank is not equipped with the level sensor, please disconnect
the 80% O.F.P Float Cable, otherwise the system will not start.
20. If the tank pressure exceeds 304.5psi, use the Recovery Tank Cooling
Method to reduce the pressure. (Please refer to the Recovery Tank Cooling
Method in Page 13)
21. To maximize recovery rate, use the shortest possible length of 3/8”or
larger hose. A hose no longer than 2.95 feet is recommended.
22. While recovering large amounts of liquid, use the Liquid Push/Pull
Method. (Please refer to Liquid Push/Pull Method on page 11)
23. After recovery process is completed, make sure there’s no refrigerant
left in the unit. Read the Self-Purging Method carefully. Liquid refrigerant
remained may expanded and destroy the components.
24. If the unit is to be stored or not used for a long time, we recommend that
it is completely evacuated of any residual refrigerant and purged with
dry nitrogen.
25. We suggest using connection hoses with check valve, which will prevent
refrigerant loss.
