Instruction Booklet KHEOS SYMBOLS The following is a list of the symbols used with a brief explanation. DANGER: draws your attention to situations or problems that may cause injury or risk of death. WARNING: draws your attention to situations or problems connected with the efficiency of the unit that do not involve a risk to the safety of people.
The Kheos unit is designed to perform the operations of recovery, vacuum and charge of R134a refrigerant con- tained in automotive air conditioning systems. The Kheos unit must not be used to transfer fluids and/or recharge other liquids. Do not fluids other than R134a, in particular use with flammable liquids is prohibited.
Before using the unit, operators must be suitably trained and assisted by technical staff trained by our com- pany. Operator: person trained to use the machine (trained directly/indirectly by DENSO staff) Specialized technician: person trained and authorized by DENSO to perform technical procedures.
Instruction Booklet KHEOS Connection hoses (A/C system) and feed hoses should be positioned in a way that will not cause hindrance and prevent them from being damaged. For refrigerant recovery do not use (pressurised) containers that are unfit for the purpose, in terms of material type and pressure level.
Instruction Booklet KHEOS 3.4 USE Take special care with possible ejections of refrigerant because: - contact with eyes may cause serious injury; - contact with the skin (given the extremely low boiling temperature) may cause burns. If refrigerant is splashed into your eyes or onto your skin, rinse with plenty of water and immediately seek medical assistance.
3.6 Power supply The power supply of the unit must be connected in accordance with the instructions of DENSO However, the company will not be responsible for the connection. The safety of the unit is ensured only when it is correctly connected to a power source that has all the protection features required by current applicable regulations (differential safety switch and earthing).
Instruction Booklet KHEOS PROHIBITED To transport the unit, use the wheels on the base To handle the unit, all the wheels must touch To lift the unit, use a lift truck with adequate the ground to ensure the unit remains level.
Instruction Booklet KHEOS General operating rules 5.1 Main panel The following is a description of the unit’s control panel: Description I/O Main/emergency switch HP (high pressure) valve Control panel Oil filling tank Esc button Used oil discharge tank OK/Enter button...
Instruction Booklet KHEOS If you have any questions or doubts regarding the unit’s operation, please do not hesitate to contact our Technical Service Dept. or Authorised Dealer. During refilling operations, some of the refrigerant will be left in the connection pipes. To drain the pipes, follow the instructions provided in the chapter “Pipe draining procedure”...
Instruction Booklet KHEOS 5.4 “S-automatic” operation With this function, the system performs the cycle consisting of: recovery, recovered oil discharge, vacuum phase, leak test and refrigerant charge, to restore the car’s A/C system with the necessary quantities of fluids, using the database present in the unit’s SD Card memory, or with the values entered by the operator.
Instruction Booklet KHEOS EXECUTING THE OPERATOR-CONTROLLED CYCLE - Connect the high and low pressure pipes to the A/C system - Open the HP and LP valves, or if there is only one service point, open the corresponding valve. - Select “S-AUTOMATIC” with the “+ ↑” e “- ↓ ” buttons. Press OK to start the cycle (Fig.1) GAS: 500 g >...

Instruction Booklet KHEOS - During operation, press ESC for 2 sec. to exit the phase and return to the main menu. In this case you will not be prompted to print the report (if printer is present). - Once the cycle has been completed, press ESC for 2 sec. to exit.
Instruction Booklet KHEOS 5.6 “VACUUM” operation With this function, the moisture in the system is evaporated by means of a pump that generates a high degree of vacuum. - Connect the high and low pressure pipes to the A/C system.
Instruction Booklet KHEOS - Connect the high and low pressure pipes to the A/C system - Open the HP and LP valves, or if there is only one service point, open the corresponding valve. - Select “CHARGE TO VEHICLE” with the “+ ”...
Instruction Booklet KHEOS 5.7.1 Oil/UV tracer recharge Use only PAG or ESTER oils for lubrication of automotive A/C systems containing R134a refrigerant. In the event of improper use of the unit, with consequent oil contamination, switch the unit off immediately and contact our Technical Service Dept Do not use solvent based additives.
Instruction Booklet KHEOS 5.9 Refrigerant topping-up If there is refrigerant in the A/C system, the only way to fill the system with more gas is to perform a TOP-UP operation. To perform this phase, connect the unit to the A/C system, start the vehicle’s engine and wait a few minutes for the A/C system to reach full power.
“SERVICE” menu 6.1 “Operator” service menu Operator: person trained to use the machine (trained directly/indirectly by DENSO staff) The basic settings enable immediate operation of the unit in every phase. - This menu includes all the functions needed to use and customise the unit to best suit your needs.
Print report: If the optional printer is connected, set electronic control to “YES”. 6.2 Service menu for “Technical staff” This section of the menu is reserved to technical staff authorized by DENSO Specialized technician: person trained and authorized by DENSO to perform technical procedures - “Cylinder calibration”.
Instruction Booklet KHEOS Fig. Fig. - The phases of this cycle are divided into: discharge of refrigerant from cylinder, vacuum in cylinder and calibration. - Connect the external cylinder to the service valve located in the upper part of the cylinder (Fig. 1 connection A). Open the valve of the external cylinder, rotate the valve on top of the unit’s cylinder towards the outlet connector (Fig.
When the filter counter has reached a calculated value of refrigerant recovered from vehicles, a message prompting the operator to replace the filter is displayed for a few seconds upon activation. Before proceeding, new filter must be obtained through DENSO’s commercial network.
When topping up or changing the oil in the vacuum pump, use specific oil for vacuum pumps. Use specific oil for high-vacuum pumps available through the commercial network of DENSO To top up (see figure), unscrew the bleeding cap (A) and pour in oil up to the halfway mark on the sightglass (C);...
The vehicle database resides on the removable SD card housed in the circuit board of the unit. This operation must be carried out only by a specialized technician: person trained and authorized by DENSO to perform technical procedures.
