General Cautions
•
ALWAYS
wear eye and skin protection when working with refrigerants.
Escaping refrigerant vapors will present a freezing danger. Do NOT direct
refrigerant escaping from the sample hose toward exposed skin or toward
the face.
•
ALWAYS
turn the compressor or power source
OFF
before connecting the
instrument to an HVAC/R system.
•
ALWAYS inspect the sample hose before each use. Replace the hose if
it appears cracked, frayed, obstructed or fouled with oil.
•
DO NOT
direct refrigerant vapors venting from hoses towards the skin.
•
DO NOT
disassemble the instrument. There are no serviceable components
internal to the instrument and disassembly will void the warranty.
•
ALWAYS
place the analyzer on a flat and sturdy surface.
•
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do NOT disassemble the instrument;
do not use the instrument in wet or damp areas.
•
Some systems may contain hydrocarbons or flammable refrigerants. This
analyzer is designed with sealed heat sources and without sparking
components. Ensure adequate ventilation and always take proper
precautions when working with refrigerants.
•
DO NOT
breathe refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may
irritate eyes, nose, and throat. If accidental system discharge occurs,
immediately ventilate the work area. There must be adequate ventilation
when operating this device
.
•
DO NOT
utilize any hose(s) other than those supplied with the instrument.
The use of other hose types will introduce errors into the refrigerant analysis
and instrument calibration.
•
ALWAYS
verify that the refrigerant does not contain or will not emit heavy
loads of oil or liquid.
•
NEVER
admit any sample into the instrument at pressures in excess of
500
psig
.
•
NEVER
obstruct the air intake, sample exhaust or case vent ports of the
instrument during use.
•
DO NOT
utilize the coupler supplied on the service end of the Sample Hoses
for any application other than with this instrument. The coupler supplied is a
modified version that does not contain a check valve and is not suitable for
any other refrigerant application.
