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 analyzer will display one of the following:
^ A green "PASS" Light Emitting Diode (LED) will light if the purity of the R-134, R-12 or the R-22 is better than 98% by weight.
^ A red "FAIL" LED will light if the purity of the gases does not meet the 98% purity standard.
^ A red"FAIL"LED and "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, D0 NOT recover the refrigerant into your recovery/recycling equipment. For additional information, refer to the Contaminated Refrigerant Handling procedure. Handling of Contaminated Refrigerants
