Description

Your new SRS3 Wireless Refrigerant Scale combines modern wireless electronics and rugged materials to perform at the high level you demand.

The platform is made of thick aluminum to maintain accuracy over the life of the product. Rubber pad and bumpers cushion both the tank and the scale itself. Platform electronics are sealed to block the occasional moisture seen from rain and splashing. Hang the remote display from a condenser or anywhere metallic and easy to see. The magnetic folding hat holds it right where you put it.

Use your mobile device to view weights directly in the Fieldpiece Job Link® system mobile app. Use the app to log and document refrigerant use to comply with new standards (EPA Section 608).

Functions

Weight Measurement

Your SRS3 scale is designed to measure refrigerant tanks weighing up to 252 lbs. Placing items over 252 lbs on the scale may damage the scale.

1. Remove the scale from the padded case and place the platform on solid, level ground.
2. Press for 1 second to turn on the platform.
3. Press for 1 second to turn on the display.
4. Press UNITS for 1 second to cycle through LB OZ, LB, OZ, KG G, KG, and G.
5. Press ZERO for 1 second to tare the scale.
6. Set your tank on the platform and zero again to view only the change in refrigerant.
7. View the change in weight in real-time when charging or recovering refrigerant.

Backlight

Tap to turn on the blue backlight on the LCD. This is useful when the sun is going down on late day jobs or any dark situation. The backlight uses extra battery power than standard use.

Auto Power Off (APO)

If the weight is unchanged for 30 minutes, the platform will automatically power off.

To disable APO, while power is on tap twice on the platform. The LED will briefly blink red and APO will not be shown on the display.

To enable APO, while power is on tap twice on the platform. The LED will briefly shine red and APO will be shown on the display.

Syncing a Display to a Platform

The included remote display is setup to view the platform at the factory. You shouldn't ever need to re-sync them. You can sync two SRS3 remote displays (SRS3R) to a single SRS3 platform (SRS3P) if desired.

1. Press SYNC for 1 second.
2. The ID# of a detected platform will show. (This ID# is printed on the platform.)
3. Tap SYNC to cycle through any other platforms detected.
4. Press SYNC for 1 second to select a platform.

Using the Job Link® system app as a display: Go to Measurements and favorite the SRS3 platform (SRS3P) to the tool manager in the app.

Tech Tips

Respect the Environment

Always use hoses with ball valves or low-loss fittings to minimize harmful refrigerant gases entering the atmosphere.

Account for Your Hose Weight

Connect the hoses to the system and tank before zeroing the scale. After charge/recovery is finished and the system is stable, note the weight before removing hoses.

Use Your Appropriate G-Value

Acceleration due to gravity in m/s² (G-Value) varies slightly depending on your altitude and location. Here are few cities' examples:

Los Angeles (default) 9.796
New York City 9.802
Paris 9.809
Sydney 9.797
Denver 9.798

1. Hold UNITS while powering on display.
2. With the current G-Value showing, tap SYNC to increase value. Tap UNITS to decrease value.
3. Tap ZERO to save and exit.

Safety First!

For use only by qualified and certified technicians in the safe use, handling, and transporting of refrigerants. Please refer to flammable refrigerant safety guides, regional codes and legislation for more information.

failure to heed these hazards and actions can result in serious injury or death

1. Always use a grounded outlet
2. Always wear Proper Protective Equipment (PPE), which includes gloves and safety glasses
3. Know proper safety and handling requirements of the refrigerant in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
4. Avoid breathing refrigerant and oil vapors
5. Handle hoses and equipment carefully as refrigerant is under high pressure and can cause frost bite
6. Do not operate in or near explosive atmospheres
7. Perform leak detection in accordance with recommended practice to verify working environment is free from leaking refrigerant as it can be toxic and or flammable
8. Only work in well-ventilated areas (minimum of 4 air exchanges per hour)
9. Ensure power and extension cords are in good working condition to prevent shock and spark hazards

Additional safety instructions for recovering A2L refrigerants (e.g. R-32, R-1234yf, R-1234ze):

1. Adhere to local occupational safety codes and possess detailed knowledge and skills when handling mildly flammable refrigerants
2. Have emergency, evacuation, and fire protection plans
3. Designate and monitor a Temporary Flammable Zone with a 3-meter perimeter
4. Identify and disable all possible ignition sources within this Zone
5. Monitor air with a flammable refrigerant leak detector within this Zone
6. Use a ventilation fan to maintain 5 air exchanges per hour within this Zone
7. Make power connection of the recovery machine and other equipment outside of the Temporary Hazard Zone
8. Bond the recovery machine outlet port to the recovery tank's unpainted fitting with a grounding strap to dissipate static electricity buildup during recovery process
9. Ensure area around machine is free of debris that could enter air vents and fan and cause accidental sparking
10. Always remain in attendance and observant when the machine is running
11. Do not mix flammable refrigerants with air
12. Use an evacuated DOT recovery tank
13. If system has a suspected leak, stop recovery at 0 psig/bar to prevent air from entering the recovery tank
14. After recovery, purge system with 100% nitrogen before opening system for repair

failure to heed these conditions can cause equipment damage.

1. Ensure that recovery machine, hoses, tank and other equipment are in good working condition
2. Avoid overfilling recovery tanks by following refrigerant manufacturer's filling instructions and using a weight scale
3. Avoid cross contamination by not mixing refrigerants
