CAUTION – Failure to heed these conditions can cause equipment damage. Intentionally Blank Ensure that all equipment is in good working condition. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or authorized service center. Do not use on ammonia or salt water systems. Doing so may damage or contaminate your recovery machine.
Safety Information Grounding Instructions This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short Setup circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a Inspect the machine and ensure there is no physical damage.
To maintain ATEX compliance, MR53 requires service every 1200 operating ± 0.15 bar (± 2.176 psig) above atmospheric pressure, hours Please contact Fieldpiece for assistance See page 37 ± 0.2 bar (± 6 inHg) vacuum For EU and/or UK Declaration of Conformity: Final Recovery Vacuum: -0.51 bar (-38 cmHg, -14.9 inHg)
• Wide Operating Voltage leaving it in the machine or releasing it into the MR53UK: 85~135V 50HZ environment MR53INT: 185V~265V, 50HZ The MR53 is A2L and A3 compatible for use in a wide range of jobs To avoid contaminating What’s Included...
Tech Tips Ensure there’ s enough room in the recovery cylinder to not exceed 80% filled during the job, or monitor and have a second cylinder ready. General Always purge hoses before recovery. If cylinder is too hot, use an ice Store in the self purge or recover position.

Cannot zero pressures. Open output port. Start or Stop the motor. High Voltage Warning ZERO SENSOR (press 3 seconds) Motor stopped. Voltage was above 135V (MR53UK); Zero pressure sensors. Ports must be open to atmosphere. Voltage was above 265V (MR53INT). CANCEL ALARM Low Voltage Warning Cancel alarm currently sounding (temporarily mute).

MR53 Refrigerant Flow Dynamic Pressure Measurement Refrigerant liquid and vapor are pulled through MR53 pressure readings are designed only the machine by the pressure difference created for monitoring pressures Do not use MR53 for by the compressor For maximum performance, diagnostic pressure measurements increase the IN pressure and reduce the OUT If a system’s pressure is stable, MR53 pressure...
Functions Purging a Recovery Cylinder When the cylinder pressure is higher than expected, you may Self Test have non-condensables at the top of the cylinder Use a second deeply evacuated cylinder to pull out the non-condensables Perform this test to ensure the high pressure cutoff and pump are operational 1.
Direct Liquid/Vapor Recovery This is the typical recovery method Vapor and Cylinder liquid lines are routed through your manifold, into the MR53, and out to the recovery cylinder WARNING: When working with A2L or A3 refrigerants, review and follow all of the applicable warnings and cautions listed on pages 4-8. 1.
Push/Pull Recovery This method is only for larger systems with at Cylinder least 14 kg of liquid refrigerant It’s used to recover liquid before recovering vapor WARNING: When working with A2L or A3 refrigerants, review and follow all of the applicable warnings and cautions listed on pages 4-8. 1.
Open output port by turning the control knob to Recover or Self-Purge. Fault 3 (“Plug O.F.S” shows on display and MR53 beeps) High Voltage Warning (MR53UK) Check for loose connection. Overfill sensor may be broken. Verify overfill with scale.
4. Hand tighten (clockwise) the grooved input fitting. 5. Tighten (clockwise) the securing hex nut with 1/8 turn with a wrench. Do not overtighten. ATEX Compliance Done MR53 units require service every 1200 operating hours to maintain ATEX compliance Contact Fieldpiece for service See page 37...
