Identifying Refrigerants

Delux A/C Refrigerant Analyzer:

1. Follow the instructions included with the Refrigerant Analyzer to obtain the sample for testing.

NOTE: Prior to recovering or charging the refrigerant system, you must use an A/C refrigerant analyzer to identify gas samples taken directly from the refrigeration system or storage containers.

2. The refrigerant diagnostic tool will display one of the following:
^ A green "PASS" LED (light emitting diode) will light if the purity of R-12, R-22, or R-134a is better than 98% by weight.
^ A red "FAIL" LED will light if the purity of the gases does not meet the 98% purity standards.
^ A red "FAIL" and a "HYDROCARBON" light will illuminate and a horn will sound if a hydrocarbon is detected above 5%. This will alert the user of potential hazards.

3. If contaminated refrigerant is detected, DO NOT recover the refrigerant into your recovery/recycling equipment. Handling of Contaminated Refrigerants
