    Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 653, ACS 663 Service Manual FLOW DIAGRAMS TANK FILL PROCESS During the Tank Fill process the compressor, fan, HS and LS inlet solenoids, recover solenoid and oil return solenoid are activated (see application chart). The output state of the recovery solenoid is controlled to maintain 2.4 bar (35 psi) in the accumulator.
  • Page 100 Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 653, ACS 663 Service Manual LOW SIDE CLEARING PROCESS During the Low side Clearing process, the compressor is activated. The process continues until -0.45 bar (13 in Hg) is reached, plus 15 seconds. Figure 4-8. Low side Clearing...
  • Page 101 Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 653, ACS 663 Service Manual REFRIGERANT IDENTIFICATION PROCESS (for ACS 663-RI only) When the recover or tank fill function is selected, the machine will check pressures on the service hoses. Once pressure is verified the machine will initiate identification of the refrigerant. The low side identifier solenoid (S17) will open intermittently, allowing refrigerant to flow to the refrigerant identifier, through the 0.028-inch internal...
  • Page 102 Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 653, ACS 663 Service Manual RECOVERY PROCESS During the first stage of the recovery process, the fan, compressor, HS and LS inlet solenoids, recovery solenoid, oil return solenoid are activated (see application chart). Recover and oil return solenoids are activated intermittently.
  • Page 103 Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 653, ACS 663 Service Manual DEEP RECOVERY PROCESS During the Deep Recovery process, the recover solenoid is deactivated, high side, and low side inlet solenoids remain activated. The vacuum pump, compressor, vacuum and deep recover solenoids are activated. The output state of the oil return and recycle solenoids are controlled to maintain 0 to 207 mbar (3 psi) in the accumulator.
  • Page 104 Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 653, ACS 663 Service Manual OIL DRAIN PROCESS During the Oil Drain process, the unit pressurize the accumulator until 1.1 bar. Then oil drain solenoid opens and release pressure and oil (see application chart). The oil amount is measured by load cell.
  • Page 105 Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 653, ACS 663 Service Manual VACUUM PROCESS The default vacuum time is 5:00 minutes. When the vacuum process begins, the vacuum pump is activated. After a 5 second delay, the vacuum, high side and low side inlet solenoids are also activated. When the timer reaches 0 (zero), the vacuum process will stop.
  • Page 106 Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 653, ACS 663 Service Manual VACUUM LEAK TEST PROCESS HS and LS inlet solenoids are activated to equalize high and low sides of system being serviced. Unit checks low-side transducer for rise in vacuum. If the unit sees a pressure rise within 5 minutes time, the vacuum leak test will fail..
  • Page 107 Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 653, ACS 663 Service Manual AIR PURGE PROCESS The air purge solenoid is activated to release excess pressure from the internal storage vessel (ISV). The air purge will occur when the machine is on and idle for 5 minutes and before charge.
  • Page 108 Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 653, ACS 663 Service Manual OIL INJECT 1 (PAG) PROCESS The oil injection is an automatic process. During the charge setup, the operator must enter the amount of oil, viscosity, type of oil wanted and the ambient temperature. The machine injects the oil automatically (with HP port only) adding the amount discharged with amount input by user.

During the charge setup, the operator must enter the amount of oil, viscosity, type of oil wanted and the ambient temperature. The machine injects the oil automatically (with HP port only) adding the amount discharged with amount input by user.
  • Page 110 Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 653, ACS 663 Service Manual UV DYE INJECT PROCESS During the Charge process, the unit activates the dye inject solenoid to inject a preset amount of dye into the vehicle A/C system to check for leaks. The system being serviced must have a vacuum to pull dye from the dye inject bottle.
  • Page 111 Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 653, ACS 663 Service Manual PRE-CHARGE PROCESS (for R1234yf only if enabled) During the pre-charge process (before to perform the charge), the unit charges a small amount of refrigerant in the A/C system and performs a pressure test to check any leaks.
  • Page 112 Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 653, ACS 663 Service Manual CHARGE PROCESS During the Charge process, the end user may select either high-side charge, low-side charge, or both. When the charge process gets close to the programmed weight, the unit slows down. The unit charges by compensation and will prompt the user in completing the charge.
