Page 18: Understanding The Test Results
If the refrigerant analyzed is 98.0% pure or better, the refrigerant is deemed suitable for standard recovery and reuse. Should the refrigerant be less than 98.0% pure, the refrigerant is not suitable for standard recovery and should not be reused. In either case, verify the hose is disconnected from the refrigerant source and press ‘Exit’... - Page 19 The refrigerant analyzer is designed to provide visual cues after analysis is complete. When the refrigerant sampled is found to be 98% pure or greater the analyzer will display a Green background indicator (Figure 14). Figure 14 Figure 15 When the sampled refrigerant is found to be between 95% - 98% pure a Yellow background indicator will appear (Figure 15).
