For Your Safety:
PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE ATTEMPTING INSTALLATION OR OPERATION!
Attempting to operate the Mini ID without fully understanding its features and functions may result
in unsafe conditions.
Always use protective eye wear and observe proper safety procedures when working with pressurized gases.
Identifier Warnings
Sample Filter Warning: The Mini ID contains a unique filter designed to significantly reduce the probability of
oil contamination. Replace the brass oil filter of the instrument AS SOON AS OIL IS DETECTED IN THE SAMPLE
HOSE. Failure to properly maintain and replace the oil filter may result in severe damage.
Sample Input Warning: The instrument requires connection of the supplied sample hose to the LOW SIDE OR
VAPOUR port of refrigerant storage cylinders or vehicle air conditioning systems. DO NOT attempt to
introduce liquid or samples heavily laden with oil into the instrument. DO NOT connect the sample hose to
the HIGH SIDE or LIQUID port! Liquid or oil laden samples may cause severe damage to the instrument that
will not be covered under warranty repairs.
General Cautions
•
Always inspect the sample hose before each use. Replace the hose if it appears cracked, frayed,
obstructed or fouled with oil.
Always turn the compressor or automobile engine off before connecting the instrument to an air conditioning
system.
•
Always wear eye and skin protection when working with refrigerants. Escaping refrigerant vapors will
present a freezing danger.
•
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble the instrument; do not use the instrument in
wet or damp areas.
•
DO NOT direct refrigerant vapors venting from hoses towards the skin.
•
DO NOT disassemble the instrument. There are no serviceable components internal to the instrument
and disassembly will void the warranty.
•
Always place the Identifier on a flat and sturdy surface.
•
DO NOT utilize any other hose other than those supplied with the instrument. The use of other hose
types will introduce errors into the refrigerant analysis and instrument calibration.
•
Always verify that the refrigerant to be tested does not contain or will not emit heavy loads of oil or
liquid.
•
NEVER admit any sample into the instrument at pressures in excess of 300 psig.
•
DO NOT utilize the coupler supplied on the service end of the R134a Sample Hose for any application
other than with the instrument. The coupler supplied is a modified version that does not contain a check valve
and is not suitable for any other refrigerant application.
