ECOcycle Aurora Ⅱ WARNING FOR SAFETY ● General warnings in operating this machine are mentioned in this section. ● While specific details are mentioned in each particular clause. WARNING ◆ When performing recovery, choose location that has good ventilation. Leakage of gas without sufficient ventilation may cause lack of oxygen cause suffocation. ◆ Can not recover flammable gas (Hydrocarbon or this kind of hydrocarbon material) When mix except refrigerants [Ammonia, hydrocarbon (propane, isobutene,)etc] to the machine, it may cause explosion. ◆ Burning Freon creates a deadly poisonous Carbon Oxy-Chloride and inhaling of this gas is very dangerous. There should be absolutely no flammable material near the working area and must operate under good ventilation.

ECOcycle Aurora Ⅱ WARNING ◆ Check electric power plug regularly to make sure there is no problem. Always have the plug inserted firmly. When the plug has dirt or oil, and the connection is incomplete, it may cause electric shock or fire. ◆ Do not have the electric cord connected with other electric devices or branched with other cords. It may cause fire. ◆ Do not pull the electric power source cord and remove from the outlet. It may cause fire or injury. ◆ The power source should be AC220-240V 10A or use a generator whose capacity is 3KVA or more.

ECOcycle Aurora Ⅱ CAUTION ◆ Install a filter at the suction port. Otherwise the compressor may be damaged. ◆ An extension cord used should be a three-core cabtyre cable with a length of 20m or less when its wire diameter is 2.0mm or with a length of 30m or less when its wire diameter is 3.5mm An unsuitable extension cord (too thin or too long) may lead to starting failure or fire. Or electrical components such as capacitor, relay and so on may be damaged. If the cord used is a two-core cord without a ground wire, you may get electric shock. ◆ Do not recover refrigerant which contains sealant. Sealant may clog the valves or the check valves. ◆ Do not let visitors touch the machine. ◆ Do not use the machine when the result is unpredictable. ◆ Do not use the machine for purposes other than the original intent. This machine is designed to recover the specified refrigerants. ◆ Do not operate under an excessive heavy load to the machine. Operating under an excessive load can not only cause damage to the machine but also causes an accident. ◆ Do not use the machine on a vibrating floor or on a sloping place. The machine or the cylinder may fall down and lead to accident. ◆ The operating platform and the work area must be kept neat and clean. at all time and have enough lighting. Poor working environment causes accident. ◆ Do not operate the machine if the operator is under fatigue condition or influenced by alcoholic drink or medicines. ◆ When the Recovery Machine is not in use, storage at dry space and out of reach by children.

ECOcycle Aurora Ⅱ Recovery Procedure of R410A or When the Pressure of Refrigerant is High ● Follow the following procedure when R410A or refrigerant at high pressure by heat is recovered. See “Liquid/Vapor Recovery Procedure” for the standard operation. CAUTION ◆ Noncondensable substance (air) may exist in the cylinder when the temperature of the cylinder rises abnormally during recovery. Remove the air or replace the cylinder. ◆ The method of removing air is refer to Page18 “How to Purge Non condensable Gases” ■ Use Cooling Unit CL3 (optional accessory) ● Cooling Unit (Code No. ES801) can lower the temperature of refrigerant at high pressure by approximately 5 to 10℃ . It improves the recovery rate. See the instruction manual of Cooling Unit for detailed information. ■ Replacement of spare cylinder ● Use an evacuated spare cylinder.

ECOcycle Aurora Ⅱ RECOVERY CYLINDER Risk of overfilling ● Refrigerant is a high pressure gas and mistakes in use or handling will lead to a serious accident. 1)Relation between the temperature and the pressure of refrigerant in a cylinder The pressure of the refrigerant varies depending on the ambient Saturation pressure and saturation temperature of each type of refrigerant temperature when the refrigerant is filled in a cylinder. Temperature Some liquid refrigerant R502 Pressure rises rises evaporates R134a At this time, lowering of the liquid level by evaporation and rising R407C of the liquid level by specific volume increase occur at the same R410A time and balance. R404A R507A Temperature Some vapor refrigerant Pressure drops drops liquefies At this time, rising of the liquid level by liquefaction and lowering of the liquid level by specific volume decrease occur at the same time and balance. The right graph shows the relation between the pressure (saturation pressure) and the temperature (saturation temperature) for each kind of refrigerant.
ECOcycle Aurora Ⅱ MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION ● Inspect and clean regularly as instructed below and perform correction or replacement timely. Maintenance ① Keep clean gauges and each part of indication on the front panel by wiping clean cloth. ② Keep clean air blow hole and condenser to make cooling down by Air effective. Replace Molecular sieve pack Dry filter is installed back side of machine. ● Replacement period ・ ・・ amount of refrigerant 150 - 200 kg ① Recover all of refrigerant from machine until 0MPa(psi). ② Open the lid of Dry filter and remove out the filer core. ③ Open the lid of removed Molecular sieve pack and remove Spring, Mesh plate, and Filter.
ECOcycle Aurora Ⅱ In case of reclaim other refrigerant ① Replacing Molecular sieve pack refer to P20 after discharging oil refer to P16. ② Connect vacuum pump to the discharge port of the oil separator by using hose. ③ Turn [ON] the vacuum pump and [OPEN] the valve of oil discharge port. ④ [CLOSE] the oil discharge valve and turn [OFF] the vacuum pump after more than 1 hour of vacuum. ⑤ Take off connected hose between vacuum pump and the discharge port of oil separator.
