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). •...

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.
2.2 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Model: COOLIUS C40 Dimensions 920 x 590 x 1190 mm Net weight 85 kg Refrigerant R744 Compatibility bottle size max. 40 l with double tap Maximum discharging rate ~300 g/min Power supply 230 V / 50 Hz...
2.4 CONTROL MODULE / DISPLAY The unit has a wide 7” colour touch screen. The display shows the following information: • Quantity of refrigerant in the cylinder (A) • Pressure of the refrigerant in the cylinder (A) • New oil quantity (g/oz) inside the bottle (it could be set for thermic (combustion engine), hybrid or electric car) (B) •...
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.
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.
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.

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.
Using the COOLIUS C40 (Primary functions) The standby screen informs the operator of low refrigerant, oil or UV additive levels. WARNING! Before draining, ensure that the drain hose (ref. 67) is placed outdoors and outside the work area. Discharge 4.1 REFRIGERANT DISCHARGE 1.

12. At the end of discharge process, automatically the discharge test will start, if the user has selected it. During the test, the unit will check if the system has a rise of pressure, in order to restart the discharge process to optimize the quantity.
Vacuum 4.2 VACUUM + VACUUM TEST 1. Press the Vacuum button. 2 Messages Exhausted oil Automatic discharge Vacuum Charge 2. Set the vacuum time by clicking on the relative edit icon. Set the vacuum time by clicking on the relative edit icon. For an efficient maintenance of the A/C system, a vacuum time of at least 30 minutes is recommended.

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 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.
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.

resume screen, with all the information of the cycle until the stop 14. It then automatically performs an additional pressure test of the A/C system with refrigerant (if selected). A known amount of refrigerant is injected into the system and the unit checks that there is no pressure drop. IMPORTANT! The refrigerant pressure test is an additional test that the unit performs after the operator has already eliminated the presence of leaks by using the previous functions of nitrogen and/or forming gas testing...
USING THE COOLIUS C40 (Auxillary functions) 5.1 PRESSURE TEST WITH NITROGEN OR FORMING GAS The unit gives the opportunity to the user to perform a pressure test of the A/C system by means of nitrogen or by means of the forming gas mixture (95% N2 – 5% H2). The test is very important to be sure that the system is perfectly tight, before charging refrigerant.
8. Press the TEST START button, to start the test of the system. a. A time countdown and the value of the pressure read by the unit’s low and high sensors will appear on the dis- play. b. Once the test is over, the unit inform the operator with visual and acoustic signal. Before continuing, it is neces- sary to discharge manually the residual nitrogen from the system.
Menu auxiliary functions Press the Menu button on standby screen, to select the auxiliary functions of the unit Set cylinder data setting. Setting of cylinder type and cylinder data. Manual test N2 / N2-H2 Execution of manual functions of pressurization with nitrogen and forming gas mixture.
6.1 ADJUSTING THE HOSE LENGTH AND PRE-FILLING The default setting of Coolius C40 unit is to work with pre-charge of flexible hoses; during the charging process, the unit does not add any refrigerant to compensate the length of the hoses.
