Safety Read this manual carefully and understand all the procedures outlines in this manual before operating the unit. Failure to follow these procedures could result in personal injury or property damage. Allow only qualified personnel to operate this unit. The operator must have basic knowledge of air conditioning and refrigeration systems, including potential hazards associated with the handling of refrigerants and systems under high pressure.
Vehicle A/C System COMPRESSOR : It increase CONDENSER: Role of this pressure of refrigerant. Mean unit transition refrigerant while refrigerant temparature liquid state from increase too gaseous state DRYER FILTER: The refrigerant EXPANSION VALVE: which coming from radiator is A expansion valve dryed by the filter.
Setup Unpack the unit and accessories. The package contains: EKM PLUS unit Low-side and high-side services hoses and quick-action coupler valves Power cable Operating manual and warranty manual Before the first use: 1. Place the unit on a flat surface.
Operations 1- Recover Refrigerant The device draws gas from the air conditioning system of the vehicle, separates it from oil and particles, trap the passed acid and moisture through by the filter, purifies it and transfers it to its own tank. 1.
Operations 2- Charge Refrigerant Uses to charge vehicle A/C system with refrigerant. 1. Connect service hoses to the vehicle and open adapters. 2. Select CHARGE REFRIGERANT then press ENTER. 3. There is two choice A. MANUAL B. AUTO DATA www.elcielektronik.com 10/35...

Operations A. MANUAL Operator must include the (vacuum time, Leak control, amount of gas) manually 1- VACUUM TIME Vacuum time entered to make the air conditioning system vacuum. NOTE: The purpose of this process is to remove the air, water vapor and other non-condensable gases from the air conditioning system.
Page 12
Operations 2- LEAK CONTROL The purpose of this operation is to see if the vacuum level is deteriorating. 1. Screen will display LEAK CONTROL TIME. 2. Use UP & DOWN buttons to set the desired time. 3. To skip leak control operation set the time to zero. 4.

Operations B. AUTO DATA In this option, the gas filling process will be done completely automatically. NOTE it is not necessary to add the amount of gas which is the hose share in this process. Vehicle Database Select vehicle brand and model to charge vehicle A/C system with refrigerant.
Operations 3- RECOVER FROM NEW TUBE Add refrigerant to the storage tank. WARNING: Do not fill the own storage tank to its full capacity. Turn the external tank upside down to speed up the process. 1. Connect any one of the service hoses to the external tank and open tank's valve. 2.
Operations Air Purge Excess air in the storage tank is purged. During recovery, air might be sucked into the storage tank with refrigerant due to leaks in the system. The unit will perform automatic air purge when sensors detect excess air in the storage tank. Operation time might differ depending on the amount of air in the tank.

Calibrations 1- WEIGHT CALIBRATION To do this, firstly we need an object that we know the net weight. TARE: to reset the weight of machine own tank weight. WEIGHT CALIBRATION: when you choose this menu it is automatically measured and the object which you know the weight of it, put it on the tank and press Enter to complete.
Calibrations 2- VACUUM CALIBRATION a. Select vacuum calibration option. b. For calibration open manifold valves and press ENTER. c. After a beep warning close the manifold valves and press ENTER. d. Machine automatically starts to countdown a timer and the number beside it also will decrease to a certain number.
Calibrations 3- PRESSURE CALIBRATION Select pressure calibration option 1. ZERO: By selecting this the pressure of machine is equalized to the atmospheric press. 2. GAIN: to perform this operation Combine manifold outlets with a single hose and open manifold valves.
Inverter İnverter (optional ) Since our EKM PLUS devices are portable land, mountain, etc. Where the electric power is not available, is used to provide 220 volts of energy required for operation of the device. Usage: Attach the power cable of the device to the socket on the back of the device.
Maintenance Compressor Maintenance Should be performed when screen displays CHANGE COMPRESSOR OIL. 1. Detach the hose from the drier filter to the compressor. 2. Use new oil bottle to fill in approximately 70 gr of oil with the help of TEST menu. 3.
Drier filter keeps recovered refrigerant clean and moisture free. Filter must be replaced periodically in order to ensure the unit is working properly. Using expired filters voids warranty. EKM plus filters need to be replaced every 100 kg of operation. After 80 kgs of operation, the unit will start reminding the user at every start up.
Maintenance Vacuum Pump Oil Change In order to maintain pump efficiency, vacuum pump oil must be changed regularly. Contaminated oil might lead to irreversible damage to mechanical components of the vacuum pump. Change vacuum pump oil under the following conditions: ...
