Page 10: Legend Series™ Hfc Components
Legend Series HFC Base Unit The Legend Series™ HFC unit houses the Full Color Graphic LCD, Infrared Bench, Electrical Connections, and Rechargeable Battery. The device is factory calibrated and completes an air calibration to confirm infrared signals before testing. These components require no maintenance, therefore there are no serviceable components internal to the instrument, and disassembly will void the warranty. -
Page 11: ¼" Flare Coupler
¼” Flare Coupler The ¼” Flare coupler is designed for easy connection to a cylinder or HVAC/R system. The coupler can be used for vapor or liquid sampling. Liquid sampling will require the use of the liquid sample hose and liquid sample syringe. Sample Hose Extensions The liquid sample trap is designed as a barrier to oil or liquid refrigerant entering the analyzer. -
Page 12: Liquid Sample Hose
Restrictor AC Power Adapter The Legend Series™ is powered via a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery. You can also power the unit with the AC Power Adapter which converts a standard 100-240VAC 50/60Hz wall outlet to 12VDC, 1.6A. This AC Power Adapter will charge the battery when connected to the analyzer. -
Page 13: Control Panel
Control Panel The Control Panel serves as the main user interface. The Control Panel features three soft key buttons. The current function for each button is displayed above the Soft Key Buttons on the full color graphic LCD. A Home button and a Power button are also found at the top of the control panel. -

PERATION First Use The Legend Series™ HFC has a built in Lithium-Ion battery. Prior to first use charge the battery for a minimum of 2 hours with the included AC Power Supply. The analyzer will function and charge the battery when the AC Power Supply is connected. -
Page 16: Calibration
Figure 4 Calibration Each time the Legend Series™ HFC begins a new test cycle it must complete an air calibration. The calibration takes 30 seconds and pulls fresh air into the unit via an internal pump. This fresh air purges any excess refrigerant from the unit and ensures accurate test results. -
Page 17: Testing The Refrigerant
‘Test.’ Viewing the Test Results Upon completion of analysis, the Legend Series™ HFC will display (Figure 9). Close the refrigerant source valve if equipped, and then disconnect the coupler from the refrigerant source. -
Page 18: Understanding The Test Results
Understanding Test Results The Legend Series™ HFC is designed to analyze or identify a wide array of refrigerants. Before sampling a gas, you should select the refrigerant you anticipate testing to accurately align the calibration (Figure 12). If the wrong base refrigerant is selected the analyzer will still provide accurate single component refrigerant outputs but may not confirm the refrigerant matches the refrigerant selected (Figure 13). - Page 19 Expected Refrigerant: Refrigerant analyzed and found to be within an acceptable composition range of the selected gas will define the results as that refrigerant and display a green screen (Figure 14). In this example, R-410A is confirmed with some slight composition shift. The R-410A is still within composition specification of AHRI Standard 700 which qualifies it as R-410A.
- Page 20 Figure 16 Diluted Refrigerant: Refrigerant analyzed and found to be diluted will have the expected base components with any level of Air present in the sample. This refrigerant would have a yellow screen to indicate the Air has contaminated the sample (Figure 17). Air can be removed from refrigerant but can be harmful if present inside a system.
- Page 21 Unknown Refrigerant: Refrigerant analyzed and found to be an Unknown gas is a gas that does not match any of the refrigerants directly measured by the device. A yellow screen will appear to indicate caution as the gas is unknown (Figure 19). If you believe the sampled refrigerant should be measured by the device restart the analysis and confirm you select the appropriate refrigerant before calibration.
