The Rotary R3 AC50 machine may prompt to connect the drain oil bottle even when it is already connected if the bottle is not properly seated, the sensor is not detecting it correctly, or there is an issue with the bottle's identification or connection. Check that the correct bottle is used, it is fully inserted, and the sensor or connectors are clean and functioning properly.

4 SAFETY RULES The technology used for the design and production control of the R AC50 charging stations make them simple, reliable and safe to use. The personnel in charge of using the R AC50 charging stations are required to follow the general safety rules, use the charging stations for their intended use only and keep them properly, as described in this manual.
The definition of "operator" cannot be applied to minors or to people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or without any experience or knowledge required. 4.3 General Rules The operator must carefully read and understand all the information and instructions in the technical documents provided with the equipment.If the operator cannot read this manual, it is responsibility of the owner of the equipment/ employer/person in charge of the safety to illustrate the contents of this document...
Maintenance on the safety devices must be carried out by authorized Assistance Services only. 4.5 Operator Safety Refrigerant fluids can cause blindness and other physical injuries. Due to their low boiling temperature (approximately - 22 °F or - 30 °C), refrigerants can cause cold burns when they come into contact with the skin.
The current used during the operating phases may generate Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) near the equipment. Even though of low intensity, these fields may interfere with medical prostheses, such as pacemakers. Safety Measures: • Keep away from the equipment after launching the operating phases. •...
Page 12
• Place the equipment in a dry area. • Do not expose or use the equipment near heat sources. • Place the equipment where it can be properly ventilated. • Do not use corrosive chemicals, solvents or harsh detergents to clean the equipment. •...
4.7 Safety Precautions to follow when using the Refrigerants Certain mixtures of air and R134a have proved to be flammable at high pressures. These mixtures are potentially hazardous and can cause fires and explosions, causing personal injuries and damage to objects.
The systems that have not been properly maintained (not cleaned, not emptied correctly, etc.) can have high contamination levels, both in the refrigerant and in the oil. If the history of the system is not known, the refrigerant recovered must at least be recycled before it is reused.
Page 15
CAUTION – SHOULD BE OPERATED BY CERTIFIED PERSONNEL Before using the charging station, read and follow the instructions and warnings contained in this manual. The operator must be familiar with the refrigeration and A/C systems, the refrigerants and the dangers that derive from pressurized components. If the operator is not able to read this manual, the operating instructions and the safety indications, they must be read and discussed in the operator's native language.
Page 16
TO AVOID CROSS-CONTAMINATION, USE THIS CHARGING STATION ONLY WITH R134a REFRIGERANT The charging station was designed to recover, recycle and recharge R134a refrigerant only. Do not try to adapt the charging station to another type of refrigerant. Do not mix different types of refrigerants inside the system or within the same container;...
