6. Налаштування

  1. Установка батареї: Open the battery compartment on the back of the unit and insert the required batteries (typically AA or AAA, refer to device markings if present). Ensure correct polarity.
  2. Увімкнення: Натисніть Кнопка живлення (11) to turn on the device. The LCD display (3) should illuminate.
  3. Вибір одиниці: Натисніть Кнопка блоку (9) to cycle through available pressure units (e.g., kPa, psi, bar) and the Кнопка ° C / ° F (10) for temperature units. Select your preferred units.
  4. Нульова калібрування: Before connecting to a system, ensure all valves (13, 14) are closed and the hoses are disconnected. Press the Нульова кнопка (6) to calibrate the pressure sensors to zero. This ensures accurate readings.
  5. Connect Temperature Probes: Plug the temperature clamp probes into the Clamp-on Temperature Probe Sockets (2) on the top of the unit. Attach the clamps securely to the high and low-pressure lines of the HVAC system.

    • Connect the blue hose to the Low Pressure Inlet (15) on the gauge and to the low-pressure service port of the HVAC system.
    • Connect the red hose to the High Pressure Inlet (17) on the gauge and to the high-pressure service port of the HVAC system.
    • Connect the yellow (or central) hose to the Refrigerant Inlet / Vacuum Pump Inlet (18) on the gauge. This hose will be used for vacuuming, charging, or connecting to a recovery unit.

7. Інструкція з експлуатації

This section outlines common operational procedures for the LM120+.

7.1. Selecting Refrigerant Type

  1. Коли пристрій увімкнено, натисніть кнопку R+/R- Buttons (7) to scroll through the available refrigerant types (e.g., R134a, R22, R410a).
  2. Select the refrigerant type that matches the system you are working on. This is crucial for accurate pressure-temperature conversions.

7.2. Performing Pressure and Temperature Tests

  1. Ensure hoses and temperature probes are correctly connected to the system.
  2. Slowly open the high-pressure (red) and low-pressure (blue) valves on the manifold to allow refrigerant to flow into the gauge.
  3. The LCD display will show real-time pressure readings for both high and low sides, along with corresponding saturation temperatures based on the selected refrigerant.
  4. The temperature probes will display the actual line temperatures (T1 and T2).
  5. Compare the saturation temperatures with the actual line temperatures to determine superheat and subcooling, which are critical for system diagnosis.

7.3. Performing a Pressure Leakage Test

  1. Connect the gauge to the system and pressurize it to the desired test pressure (ensure system can handle the pressure).
  2. Закрийте всі клапани колектора.
  3. Натисніть Функціональна кнопка (4) to navigate to the leakage test mode.
  4. Натисніть Кнопка запуску/зупинки (5) to start the leakage test timer. The gauge will record the initial pressure.
  5. Allow the test to run for a specified period (e.g., 15-30 minutes, or as per system manufacturer's recommendations).
  6. The display will show the elapsed time and the pressure difference. A significant drop in pressure indicates a leak.
  7. Прес Кнопка запуску/зупинки (5) again to stop the test.

7.4. Refrigerant Charging/Evacuation

The LM120+ can be used in conjunction with a vacuum pump and refrigerant tank for system evacuation and charging. Always refer to the specific HVAC system's service manual for proper procedures and refrigerant amounts.

  1. Евакуація: Connect the yellow hose to a vacuum pump. Open the manifold valves and the vacuum pump valve to evacuate the system to the desired vacuum level. Monitor the vacuum reading on the gauge.
  2. Зарядка: After evacuation, close the manifold valves and disconnect the vacuum pump. Connect the yellow hose to a refrigerant tank. Purge the yellow hose of air. Slowly open the appropriate manifold valve (low side for vapor charge, high side for liquid charge with caution) to allow refrigerant into the system. Monitor pressure and temperature readings.
