Execute the following actions in sequence by following the display guided procedure
and the illustrations on the summary sheet provided with the equipment:
Gas weight check

First tank filling
It is possible to interrupt the initial check and print a report with the equipment printer in
which the checking status is reported.
The equipment cannot operate in automatic mode until all the steps of the initial check
have been completed.
CAREFULLY ABIDE BY THE FOLLOWING
INSTRUCTIONS TO AVOID DANGER TO
REFRIGERANT IN THE ATMOSPHERE
Let us consider as first filling the one carried out during the initial check with internal tank
of the equipment free of refrigerant gas and containing air.
Set the quantity of gas to fill (at least 3 kg) and follow the guided procedure shown on
the display.
Check that the equipment hoses are not connected and positioned in the hose winder.
Start the procedure that initially implies the creation of vacuum in the internal tank. This
phase will take from 22 to 45 minutes and will act on the whole equipment.
Only when the message appears asking to connect the recharge tank, connect the
supplied HP quick coupler (colour red) in case of R134a or the LP quick coupler of the
product to an external refrigerant gas tank using the supplied adaptor.
Open the coupler by turning the knob clockwise. Open the valve on the external tank.
Right before reaching the planned quantity of refrigerant, the product will stop and ask
the user to close the external refrigerant tank. Then, the device will continue the
recovery from the hoses and ends when these are empty. Hence, it is necessary to
open the LP quick-coupler and disconnect it from the external tank. Thanks to the
ClimFill
-Lock patented technology function, the refrigerant - usually kept between the
®
cylinder fitting and the hose quick-coupler until the end of the process - will not be
released in the environment.
There may be two types of source tanks: with plunger and without plunger.
Tanks with plunger shall remain upright to be able to transfer liquid refrigerant; for this
type of tanks connect to the L (liquid) coupler.
Tanks without plunger have only one valve, so they must be turned upside down to
transfer the liquid refrigerant.
