2.3 Interacting with the Device: The TITANMAX ™ features a 5” 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 raised button look as seen in Figures 4 &...
2.5 Connecting and Using the Vacuum Sensor: The TITANMAX ™ includes a (67044) YELLOW JACKET ® Vacuum Sensor, pictured in Figure 9, 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 use the VAC connector as shown in Figure 10.
2.7 Charging the Battery: To ensure maximum battery life, make sure the TITANMAX is charged before and after each job ™ session. To charge the device, connect the manifold TITANMAX to a power source via the provided data ™ transfer cable as pictured in Figure 12. When connected to a power source, the LED will turn a solid green.

Low Side Pressure & Temperature Measurement 5. High Side Pressure & Temperature Measurement 6. Current Menu Selection Display & Information Button 7.
NOTE: Before connecting to the system, make sure to zero the pressure transducers at ambient pressure to ensure accurate pressure readings. To read about the transducer zeroing process, see page20. 3.2 Evacuation Menu 3.2.0 Overview: Once the refrigerant has been recovered from the system, the TITANMAX ™...
300 seconds (approx. 5 minutes) and will begin again from the left side of the graph. 3.2.2 Operating the Evacuation Menu: Before beginning an evacuation, connect the YELLOW JACKET ® Vacuum Sensor (67044) to the VAC connector on the right side of the device VAC port. Connect the vacuum probe to the system at a sufficient distance from the vacuum pump such that it will not disturb the vacuum reading.
3.3 Pressure Hold Mode – Pressure Decay Test 3.3.0 Overview: The TITANMAX ™ can be used to monitor a system leak through a drop in positive pressure. The pressure decay test displays the current system pressure (Current), the initial pressure (Start), the change in pressure (pressure drop), the Limit Pressure (Allowable), and the Rate of Change (change/min).
3.3.1 Interpreting the Pressure Decay Graph: Pressure Decay menu features a line graph which plots current system pressure readings in real time. System pressure is plotted on a linear scale. The current system pressure graph utilizes a leader line to plot new data from left to right. Old data is conveniently displayed to the right of the leader line such that it can be compared to newer data.
