  • Page 4 COOLIUS C40 Safety instructions for working on the COOLIUS C40 DANGER Risk of accident! There is an increased accident risk due to the high pressures in R744 air-conditioning units. Please observe the safety precautions • Before commissioning the device, check that the connections to the A/C System are correct.
  • Page 5 General safety instructions • Danger of electric shock: Connect or disconnect the bottle heater only when the COOLIUS C40 is switched off. • Possible electrical discharge: When changing the gas bottle, touching the uninstalled gas bottle with the connected heating strip and the air conditioner with unprotected hands can cause an unpleasant but harmless electric discharge.
  • Page 6 What to do in the event of danger • Fire may cause cylinders to burst/explode. All extinguishing agents may be used. • Escaping gas: Close the valve if possible. • Prevent access to cellars and deeper areas where gas accumulation could be dangerous (risk of suffocation). •...

  • Page 10: Introducing The Coolius C40

    Introducing the COOLIUS C40 The COOLIUS C40 allows you to quickly and efficiently drain refrigerant from an A/C system, evacuate the system, check for leaks, inject additives and lubricants, top up with refrigerant and determine working pressures. Thanks to the wide 7” screen, the unit is very versatile and is able to help the operator with information useful to perform the various operations.

    The user must check that the vacuum pump oil level covers half of the sight glass. (see drawing below). 3.2 TURNING ON THE COOLIUS C40 FOR THE FIRST TIME WARNING! Carry out the first start-up without installing the R744 cylinder on the scales, otherwise the zero adjustment cannot be carried out correctly.
  • Page 14: Use Of Low And High Automatic Valves

    3.3 USE OF LOW AND HIGH AUTOMATIC VALVES The unit is equipped with fully automatic LOW and HIGH connection valves. After the operator has made the connection of the equipment to the A / C system, it automatically establishes the type of connection.
  • Page 15: Setting The Cylinder/Cylinder Data

    3.4 SETTING THE CYLINDER/CYLINDER DATA The unit is delivered without a refrigerant bottle. When installing the R744 cylinder, it is therefore necessary to follow the procedure below and then set the data for the type of cylinder used. WARNING! When removing and installing the cylinder, the surface of the cylinder or heating element may be very hot. Wear personal protective equipment for your hands and take extreme care not to come into contact with the hot surfaces.
  • Page 16 13. It is possible to choose between 2 different types of refrigerant bottles: A. Bottle with a single connection (gaseous) B. Bottle with 2 connections (liquid and gaseous) If available, it is recommended to use an R744 bottle with double connections; with this type of bottle, the device can perform the filling process faster.

    4.3 OIL – UV – REFRIGERANT CHARGE The COOLIUS C40 is designed for thermal (combustion engine), hybrid and electric vehicles. To ensure absolute safety, the unit automatically rinses the internal circuit each time you switch from one type of vehicle to another to prevent conta- mination/cross-contamination of the oils.
  • Page 22 17. Press the HOME button to return to the main menu. 4.3.2 FLUSHING THE INTERNAL CIRCUIT WHEN CHANGING THE OIL TYPE The COOLIUS C40 is suitable for three different types of vehicles. In most cases, the appropriate oil type will be selected.:...
  • Page 23 CHANGE OF OIL TYPE It is necessary to change the type of oil to be injected. Introduce inside the dispenser the type of correct oil. Make sure it is not connected any car. Make sure the valves LOW and HIGH are open.
  • Page 24: Automatic Cycle

    If the unit informs the operator about the automatic flushing of the internal circuit, this must be done before connecting the Coolius C40 to the vehicle. 9. The operator can also select all the information, directly form the Car’s database. Reading this information about the selected car, the unit will directly set the correct quantity of refrigerant to charge in the A/C system.
