Never use refrigerants in this instrument that are not listed in the Set-up menu.
Interacting with the device: The P51-870 TITAN® features a 4.3” full color resistive touchscreen for improved usability and durability. To interact with the device, use a finger or stylus to touch anywhere on the screen. All interactive buttons are conveniently displayed with the same golden yellow color as seen in Figures 4 &...
Connecting and Using the Vacuum Sensor: The P51-870 TITAN® includes a (67044) YJ vacuum sensor, pictured in Figure 8, which can be used with this unit to measure the current depth of vacuum within a system. To connect the vacuum probe to the device, remove either of the two clear silicone plugs on the back of the device covering the A1 and A2 connectors.
features accessible in the device settings menu (see Pages 22-23). The most influencing factor on battery life is the backlight intensity, be sure to adjust the backlight level accordingly depending on your current viewing conditions. Charging the Battery: To ensure maximum battery life, make sure the P51-870 TITAN® is charged before and after each job session.

After completing a job, the datalog files can be accessed by connecting the instrument to a PC. To connect the P51-870 TITAN® to a PC, connect the provided data transfer cable to the micro- USB port on the back of device shown in Figures 13 and 14. Plug the opposite end into the USB port on a PC.
datalog files. If the device reaches max storage and has not Table 2-1: Sampling Rates and Time to Maximum Memory Capacity been cleared, it will cease to log data until all files have been cleared from the device. Be sure to select the proper logging rate based on the intended length of the datalog session.
Chapter 3: Modes of Operation Modes Menu The P51-870 TITAN® will always start up on the Modes Menu shown in Figure 16 below. Tap any of the three buttons labeled “Pressure/Temperature, Evacuation, Pressure Hold” to start a Pressure/Temperature, Evacuation, or Pressure Hold session respectively. The general settings menu can be accessed by tapping the gear icon in the upper right-hand corner.

as it is recorded. Any old data will be replaced by newer data as the leader line advances to the right, each graph completely overwrites every 100 seconds (approx. 1.5 minutes). Scaling Value Central Value Figure 18: Pressure/Temperature Line Graphs Each line graph centers on the first pressure or temperature measurement recorded when beginning a new plot, this value is displayed adjacent to the plot line to the left of each graph.
Evacuation Mode Overview: Once the refrigerant has been recovered from the system, the P51-870 TITAN® can be used to accurately monitor the system evacuation. Evacuation mode displays the current vacuum pressure in digital, analog, and graphical form, percent change per minute, estimated time remaining, target vacuum level, and the vacuum hold timer.
in vacuum pressure during a system evacuation. Because the evacuation operates on a logarithmic scale, the resolution of the needle movement increases in a deeper vacuum meaning small fluctuations in vacuum pressure become more apparent in a deeper vacuum. Interpreting the Evacuation Graph: In addition to the evacuation gauge, evacuation mode also features a fully functional evacuation line graph like those in Pressure/Temperature mode.
the evacuation or select a new mode of operation. If the vacuum hold timer is not desired, simply tap the Hold button until NONE is displayed. Figure 20: Evacuation - Pressure Hold Test Prompt NOTE: Using the vacuum hold timer can help to ensure that all refrigerant has been evacuated from the system and the system is free of non-condensables.

Any old data will be replaced by newer data as the leader line advances to the right, the line graph will completely overwrite every 200 seconds (approx. 3.5 minutes). The line graph centers on the first pressure measurement recorded when beginning a new plot, this value is displayed adjacent to the plot line to the left of the graph.
During the pressure decay test, Pc will adjust as the current system pressure changes. Pi-Pc will adjust to reflect the change between the initial system pressure and current system pressure. Limit will display the limit pressure as determined by the percent allowable change. System pressure dropping below this value within the time limit as set by the test duration will trigger a failure.

measurement is plotted. The line graph fully overwrites the old data every 200 seconds (approx. 3.5 minutes) and will begin again from the left side of the graph. Operating the Pressure Rise Test: The pressure rise test can be accessed through completion of an evacuation (See page 13).
Figure 28: Pressure Rise Test - FAIL Figure 29: Pressure Rise Test - PASS Chapter 4: Settings Settings Menus Overview The P51-870 TITAN® settings menus are separated into four menus: unit settings, refrigerant settings, device settings, and general settings. While on any modes screen or the modes menu, the general settings menu can be quickly accessed by tapping the gear icon in the top right corner.
Calibrating the Touchscreen: If the touchscreen seems unresponsive or poorly aligned, it may benefit to re-calibrate the display. The touchscreen display can be re-calibrated one of two ways: through the general settings menu or interaction with the power button. To calibrate the display through the general settings menu, navigate to the general settings menu and tap the “Calibrate Display”...
the desired units have been selected, tap the back button in the upper right corner to save new selections. Pressure Units: Pressure units are used to display pressure measurements while in pressure/temperature and pressure decay mode. This unit can be adjusted to one of six pressure units: psig, psia, bar, kg/cm^2, MPa, and kPa.
Auto Off: The auto off timer will automatically power the unit down if there has been no user input for the selected duration of time. This feature can be used to significantly increase the battery life of the manifold. The Auto Off Timer can be set to four increments: 15m, 30m, 1hr and None. Selecting None will prevent the unit from auto powering off.
