Identifying Refrigerants

A/C Refrigerant Analyzer:

SPECIAL SERVICE TOOL(S)

1. Follow the instructions included with the Deluxe Refrigerant Diagnostic Tool 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 diagnostic tool will display one of the following:
- A green "PASS" LED (light emitting diode) will light if the purity of R-134-a, R-12 or 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 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. Recover the contaminated refrigerant using suitable recovery-only equipment designed for capturing and storing contaminated refrigerant.

CAUTION: If contaminated refrigerant is detected, DO NOT recover the refrigerant into your recovery/recycling equipment.
