Operating Guide
Direct Liquid/Vapor Recovery
The
RecoverXLT
®
is used to pull liquid or vapor
refrigerant directly out of the system and transfer it
into a recovery cylinder.
Liquid recovery is accomplished by connecting to
the high pressure system discharge service port
(Liquid Port) side of the system being serviced.
Vapor recovery can be done by connecting to the
system suction service port (low pressure) side of
the system.
Because the
RecoverXLT
®
is capable of recovering
direct liquid, it is best to first recover all of the
liquid, followed by the vapor. This will make your
job easier and faster. Refer to the following
instructions and the above diagram:
1.
Know the type and quantity of refrigerant present
before servicing any system.
2.
Turn off power to the system being serviced.
Turn the selector knob to off.
3.
Connect your manifold to the system being
serviced. High Side to liquid port and Low Side
to vapor port as shown in diagram on page 4.
4.
Connect the Utility port of your manifold to the
1/4” SUCTION port of the
RecoverXLT
®
.
5.
Connect one hose from the recovery cylinder
(liquid side) to the 1/4” DISCHARGE port of
the
RecoverXLT
®
.
Note: Be sure to connect hose ends with
shut
-
off to suction and discharge ports of
recovery machine (for best performance use
3/8” hoses.)
6.
Purge all hoses of non
-
condensables before
recovering refrigerant into recovery cylinder.
7.
Open the liquid valve on the recovery tank.
8.
Start the
RecoverXLT
®
using the momentary
switch.
9.
Turn the selector VALVE on the
RecoverXLT
®
to either the LIQUID or VAPOR position.
10.
Open the Utility and either High Side or Low
Side valves on the manifold. Remember it is
more efficient to recover the liquid refrigerant
first.
Caution: do not over
-
pressure low side
gauge
.
11.
The
RecoverXLT
®
will continue to recover
until it reaches and sustains 10”Hg vacuum at
which point the LOW PRESSURE SWITCH
stops the unit and the Status Indicator LED
illuminates SOLID RED indicating
Recovery
Complete
.
12.
Turn the selector valve clockwise to OFF. Start
the unit using the momentary switch. Turn se-
lector valve to PURGE position.
13.
When the unit again stops and the Status Indica-
tor LED illuminates SOLID RED indicating
Recovery Complete
, the recovery and purge
cycles are complete.
Note: If the machine is not recovering, refer to
the troubleshooting guide on page 7. Restart
procedures are on the side of the machine and
below.
