Always connect Yellow Hose (10) to Cylinder (9) first and
then connect other end of hose with anti-blowback valve
to Fill Port (7 or 8) on AC2880.
FILL CHARGE CYLINDER
This procedure is used to quickly transfer refrigerant from a
cylinder of recycled or new refrigerant into the AC2880 charge
cylinder. The fill process will continue until the charge cylinder
fills to 13 lbs. Press the [RESET] key during the fill process if a
smaller total amount of refrigerant is desired.
1. Connect a cylinder of recycled or new refrigerant to the
appropriate fill port on the rear of AC2880 using the yellow
hose. An adapter is provided to permit connection to a
cylinder of R134a having a 1/4 flare fitting.
Liquid refrigerant must be transferred into the charge
cylinder. Therefore, connect to the liquid port of a DOT
cylinder of recycled refrigerant and leave cylinder upright or
connect to the port of new refrigerant and invert cylinder.
2. Open valve on cylinder connected to the fill port.
3. Turn on power.
4. Press [ >] key four times.
5. Observe displays as shown to the left and enter data when
prompted.
6. Press [ #] key to move from one display to the next.
The fill process will stop if the cylinder of recycled or new
refrigerant is emptied. Press the [RESET] key to return to the
main menu.
HIGH PRESSURE - SEE MANUAL (Note A)
This message will be displayed periodically during the fill
process. Do not be concerned as this is normal.
CYLINDER FULL - GO TO CHARGE (Note B)
If the charge cylinder fills to the maximum capacity of 17.5 lbs.
during the fill process this message will be displayed. Press the
[
#] key to return to the main menu and go to the charge
procedure to transfer refrigerant to an A/C or an external
cylinder.
PROBLEMS ?
Refer to Page 19 should
problems be encountered using
the Fill Cylinder procedure.
Pressure differential between
the cylinder of new refrigerant
and the internal AC2880 charge
cylinder greatly affect the
efficiency and speed of the Fill
Charge Cylinder procedure.
