Page 3: A) The Safe Way Is The Only Way
THE SAFE WAY IS THE ONLY WAY! NOTE! If you are not a qualified refrigerant service technician, do not use this equipment 1. The technician should always wear goggles and gloves when working on refrigeration systems. 2. Be sure that any room where you are working is thoroughly ventilated, 3. -
Page 4: B) Refrigerant Gas Recovery & Containment
Advanced Test Products RG6-E REFRIGERANT GAS RECOVERY & CONTAINMENT Safety comes first. Read all safety information for the safe handling of refrigerant including the Material Safety Data Sheet provided by your refrigerant supplier. Never operate unit in an explosive environment. Wear safety glasses and protective gloves. Work area must be well ventilated. -
Page 5: Important General Information
Advanced Test Products RG6-E IMPORTANT GENERAL INFORMATION Before operating the RG6-E recovery unit, read the following: 1. Storage cylinders sometimes have valves that are not properly seated when manufactured. Keeping caps on these valves will guard against refrigerant leakage. 2. Always operate the unit on a flat level surface. 3. -

Page 9: B) Set-Up Procedures
Advanced Test Products RG6-E RG6-E REFRIGERANT RECOVERY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION To achieve the better results, use the tank cooling method to lower the head pressure on the recovery tank. Repeat as necessary to achieve the desired vacuum level. NOTE: If there is no liquid in the recovery tank, then the cooling method will not work. In this case, use an empty tank that has been fully evacuated to achieve the final vacuum level required. - Page 10 Advanced Test Products RG6-E SET-UP DIAGRAM FOR REFRIGERANT RECOVERY This method is the fastest method for recovering vapor refrigerant.

Page 12: C) Purging The Non-Condensable Gases
Advanced Test Products RG6-E RG6-E RECOVERY Purging the non-condensable gases from identified refrigerant in a tank 1. Allow the tank to sit undisturbed for 24 hours. (This allows the air to rise to the top). 2. Connect a manifold to the tank and read the amount of pressure in the tank by looking at the Outlet pressure gauge. - Page 13 Advanced Test Products RG6-E PARTS LIST RG6-E Pos.

Page 15: Safety Pressure Switch
Advanced Test Products RG6-E SAFETY PRESSURE SWITCH The RG6-E is equipped with an internal Safety Pressure Switch. If the pressure inside the system exceeds 38,5 bar (550PSI), the system is switched off automatically. If the Safety Pressure Switch is activated automatically whilst filling a bottle, it could be caused by the bottle becoming overfilled. -

Page 18: Viii) Helpful Hints
Advanced Test Products RG6-E HELPFUL HINTS FOR REFRIGERANT RECOVERY Refrigerant recovery has come a long way in a few short years. On the surface it’s simply the process of taking refrigerant out of a system and putting it into a tank. However, this simple process can quickly become problematic if a few items are overlooked. - Page 19 Advanced Test Products RG6-E HOSES AND VALVES Hoses and Schraeder valves have a large impact on recovery speed. In general, the larger the hose, the less friction on the flow of refrigerant and the quicker the recovery time. Many contractors are now using 3/8” lines for the Inlet to the recovery machine, even if those lines originate out of 1/4”...
- Page 20 Advanced Test Products RG6-E KEEPING THE DIRT OUT During the recovery process your recovery machine can be exposed to debris that can, potentially, damage it. Including brazing spatter and copper and brass slithers. Further contamination can be introduced from the refrigerant storage tanks. To prolong the life of your recovery machine always use an in-line filter.
