LAUNCH VALUE-100 A/C Service Station User’s Manual
M.1) il top-up
This operation must be performed when the level of the oil falls to
less than half on the indicator (4) (refer to Figure 11). NOTE: in order
to correctly check the oil level, run the pump for at least 1 minute
(running a vacuum procedure in the hose for 1 minute) so that the oil
fluidifies. Check the oil level when the pump stops. To refill the oil,
perform the steps listed below in the order given. Disconnect the
MACHINE from the mains supply. Locate the oil cap (2) and screw it
completely off. The oil must be added through the hole in which the
oil cap was lodged (2). Add oil a little at a time, waiting for the level to
rise before each successive addition, until the oil level is about ½ cm
above the mark on the indicator (4). Replace the oil cap (2) and
tighten down.
M.2) il change
The vacuum pump oil must be replaced every 150 working hours
and in any case every time the refrigerant filters are replaced. The oil
must also be replaced whenever it changes color due to absorption
of humidity. Before beginning the oil change procedure, procure a
container of at least 300 cc capacity in which to collect the used oil.
The pump contains about 280 cc of oil. Use only the oils
recommended by the manufacturer (consult your retailer).
1) Disconnect the machine from the mains supply.
2) Unscrew the filling cap 2 (refer to Fig. 11).
3) Unscrew the drain cap 3.
4) Allow all the oil to run out into a disposal container (with
height < 10 cm).
5) Close the drain cap 3.
6) Pour in new oil through the filling hole, opened
previously, until the level rises to the midpoint on the indicator 4.
7) Replace the oil cap 2 and tighten.
REPLACING THE DRYER FILTERS
Replace the filters whenever the machine gives the service alarm
[SERV] during the first ten seconds of operation or whenever the
humidity gauge signals the presence of humidity in the circuit (inner
circle yellow). Before performing any operation, check that the
replacement filters are the same types as those installed on the
MACHINE. Then proceed as described below (ref. fig.12):
