    I. Cautions and Warnings A. Cautions Never use any sample hose other than those approved for use with the ID900. The use of other hose types may introduce errors and excessive refrigerant loss. Always verify that the refrigerant source to be tested will not emit oil or liquid refrigerant before connecting the ID900 sample hose.
  • Page 4: Functional Description

    The ID900 Automotive Refrigerant Identifier will provide a fast, easy and accurate means to determine refrigerant type and purity in refrigeration systems and refrigerant storage cylinders. The instrument utilizes a combination of infrared and chemical fuel cell technologies to determine purity and contamination levels or refrigerants R12 and R134a as well as air concentrations in both refrigerant types.

    Rear View III. Hardware Description A. Instrument: The instrument houses the basic components required for operation of the ID900 as depicted above. 1. Case: an injection molded plastic housing that houses all internal components. 2. Hanger: connects into the side of the case and provides the user a means to hang the instrument above the working area for hands free operation.

    B. Sample Hoses 1. R12 Sample Hose: is a 6-foot hose consisting of a nylon inner tube surrounded by a polyurethane outer tube. The hose contains the instrument connection fitting on one end and a ¼” SAE female flare nut on the other end. This hose is to be utilized when sampling from R12 vehicle systems or storage cylinders.

    IV. Operation Procedure A. Pre-Operative Inspection 1. Inspect the outside diameter of the white element contained within the sample filter for any signs of red spots. The appearance of red spots anywhere on the outside diameter of the element indicates that the filter requires replacement to avoid fouling of the instrument.

    5. When prompted by the instrument, connect the free end of the sample hose to the vehicle air conditioning system or refrigerant storage cylinder port and press the “A” pushbutton. Sample gas will immediately begin to flow into the instrument. The instrument will require approximately 30 seconds to complete the sample gas analysis. 6.

    V. Maintenance A. Error Codes and Corrective Actions The instrument is supplied with self-diagnostic software to aid the user in the determination of problems. The software will supply error codes that will direct the user towards specific corrective actions in the event of system failure. ERR.1: Signifies unstable infrared readings due to inconsistent sample gas supply or interference from strong electrical fields.
  • Page 10: Maintenance Procedures

    Warning: Should it be determined that the air detection calibration failure has been caused by the presence of oxygen depleting compounds in the surrounding atmosphere the use MUST take immediate action to rid the area of such compounds or provide adequate ventilation to prevent such accumulation. The accumulation of oxygen depleting compounds in the surrounding atmosphere will present a human health risk and hazard.

    c) When the hose is completely dry inspect the hose for signs of wear as described above. 3. Air Detection Sensor Replacement Inspection Frequency: The instrument will inform the user of possible air detection replacement requirements with the error code Replace Air Sensor. Air Detection Sensor Replacement Procedure: a) Refer to the error code corrective actions and try each suggested action.
