TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem:
High Pressure Limit.
Solution:
Check that both Storage Tank valves are open. Check that any inline hose ball valves to the Storage Tank are open.
Problem:
Tank Overfill.
Solution:
Remove refrigerant from Storage Tank by charging into an empty refrigerant cylinder. If this does not fix the problem,
then Re-Zero scale.
Problem:
Unit not Charging accurately.
Solution:
Make sure Storage Tank is properly placed on platform so that no portion of the tank is touching the
back of the unit or protective frame work of the unit.
Solution:
Do not move the unit while in the charging mode. The unit utilizes a weighing method of charging.
Sudden movement of the storage tank will affect the charging accuracy.
Solution:
Make sure unit is on a level surface. If placed on surface with more than 2% grade, the charging amount may be incorrect.
Problem:
Unit will not power up.
Solution:
Check to make sure circuit breaker on back of unit is not tripped. Reset and restart the unit if necessary.
Solution:
Make sure power cord is plugged into the back of the unit and the wall receptacle.
Problem:
Upon compressor start up, the circuit breaker trips.
Solution:
Reset circuit breaker and try again.
Problem:
Upon vacuum pump start up, the circuit breaker trips.
Solution:
Check Oil Level in vacuum pump. Reset circuit breaker and try again.
Solution:
Make sure vacuum pump voltage switch is in the correct position.
Problem:
Unit stuck in PT calibration mode.
Solution:
Check to make sure Oil Injection (if equipped) valve is close and firmly attached to the unit.
Solution:
Make sure vacuum pump switch is ON. Make sure vacuum pump is plugged into the unit’s receptacle.
For other problems, please call the CPS service network for further instructions.
HOSE MAINTENANCE
Maintenance - Interconnection Hoses, Service Hoses and Couplers:
The FA1000 uses brass to brass seal type fitting on the ends of the
service hoses and interconnecting hoses. No hose gasket maintenance is required on brass to brass type connections. The fittings
connecting to the filter drier do use a rubber hose gasket. When changing the filter drier, check the gaskets for wear. Replace if required.
Periodically inspect all refrigerant hose assemblies, service hoses and both service coupler inner o-rings for wear. Replace the component(s)
if excessive wear or leakage is observed. Periodically leak-check all hose connection points, hose ball valves, and service couplers. Since the
unit does pull vacuum in the recovery process, excessive Non-Condensable Gases (NCG’s) could be sucked into the system and placed in
the storage tank.
OEM manufacturers of Automotive High Voltage A/C systems have required that the residual
amount of PAG oil in the charging hose(s) be reduced to a minimal level. The following are
instructions on how to prepare the FA1000 for charging a High Voltage A/C system:
Step 1: Remove the oil injection (if equipped) assembly from the FA1000 injection port. Cap off this port.
Step 2: Push the
REFILL
key. Do not hook up the service hoses as instructed by the LCD.
Step 3: Push the
START
key. Run until
RESUME
and
QUIT
keys come up on the LCD.
Step 4: Connect both
HI
and
LO
service hoses to the auxiliary fittings
(a-b)
on the hose
between the filter and tank liquid port as shown in
Fig 3
.
Step 5: Push the
RESUME
key.
Step 6: Open both
HI
and
LO
service coupler valves.
Step 7: Run for 30 minutes.
Step 8: After 30 minutes close both
HI
and
LO
couplers.
Step 9: Allow the
REFILL
mode to complete the evacuation of the hoses.
The unit is now ready to charge a High Voltage A/C system. Following the CHARGING MODE
instructions on page 12.
NOTE: When injecting oil back into a high voltage A/C system, use the OEM recommended oil. Purchase CPS injecting kit (AR2788X23)
for additional injectors for different OEM oils.
