Checking type of connection of external
refrigerant bottle
Check the type of source tank, 2 types are available:
—
Refrigerant cylinder with plunger (typically 2
valves):
Connect to the liquid valve and keep tank in the upright
position to transfer refrigerant.
—
Refrigerant cylinder without plunger (single valve):
Connect to the available valve and invert tank to
transfer refrigerant.

Internal Bottle Fill
Warning – Risk of frostbite from
escaping refrigerant
Refrigerant causes severe frostbite
on the skin.
Check the service hoses for damage.
Firmly connect the service quick-release
couplings to the service hoses.
Wear protective goggles.
Wear protective gloves.
Before the ACX2281 can be used, the internal refrigerant
bottle must be filled with liquid refrigerant. Use only R1234yf
refrigerant.
A menu-driven refrigerant check is performed before filling
the internal refrigerant bottle.
The refrigerant can be obtained from your gas supplier. It can
be stored normally and transported in bottles with connection
fittings.
To ensure a reliable procedure, it is advisable to use the
optimum quantity of refrigerant. The optimum quantity of
refrigerant for the ACX2250 is 4kg – 9.5kg.
An inadequate quantity may make efficient filling of the
vehicle air conditioning system impossible. Also, if there is an
insufficient quantity, the ACX2250 may not be able to operate
efficiently. In the event of an excessive quantity, there may
not be sufficient space for the refrigerant recovered from the
vehicle air conditioning system.
Generally speaking, the actual quantity of refrigerant added
exceeds the set quantity by approx. 200g as there is no
refrigerant in the internal refrigerant circuit. Add 200g to the
set quantity when filling with refrigerant for the first time.
1. Select "Maintenance>>Internal bottle fill".
2. Follow the menu prompting.
The current pressure inside the external refrigerant bottle is
indicated on the low-pressure gauge.
Any amount of refrigerant between 200g and 10500g can be
added.
Do not interrupt the automatic filling process prior to
automatic termination by the ACX2281.
Press the Home key to check the quantity of refrigerant in the
internal refrigerant bottle upon completion of the filling
operation.
