J 41810 Pureguard 2 R134A Refrigerant Monitor

J 41810 Pureguard 2 R134a Refrigerant Monitor

A new R134a refrigerant purity tester similar to the PureGuard R12 refrigerant monitor you now use will be shipped as an essential tool to all GM dealers in 1997. This new tool mounts to the ACR4, R134a Recovery Recycle and Recharge cart and tests refrigerant during recovery. Contamination from any refrigerant currently known will be detected resulting in the immediate shut down of the recovery process.

The J 41810 PureGuard 2 also tests for AIR contamination in refrigerant and the ACR4 recycle tank. Air contaminant is detrimental to A/C system performance. Research has indicated high levels of air in the recovery tanks on R12 and R134a recovery carts. Air contamination is caused by improper recovery procedures and short-cutting refrigerant recycling times.

Many features of the new PureGuard 2 are described below:

^ Protects your R134a recovery/recycling equipment and refrigerant supply.

^ Automatically tests all R134a refrigerant as it is being recovered from the vehicle. If contamination is detected, an alarm sounds and the recovery process is stopped. The type and percent of contamination is displayed.

^ Automatically monitors the ACR4 recovery tank for contamination and indicates the condition on the control panel.

^ Access port to test R12 refrigerant from vehicles or previously recovered R12 for refrigerant or AIR contamination.

^ Totally automatic, no technician interaction or training required.

^ Universal printer port allows test data to be printed.

^ LCD display indicates percentage of: AIR, R134a, R12, R22, and hydrocarbons.

^ Low maintenance, simple filter change as indicated by red indicators.

^ Audible alarm and recovery cart power interruption when contaminated R134a detected.

^ Easily installed, requires no disassembly or modification of ACR4 recovery/recycling equipment.

^ Includes R12 test function to evaluate R12 systems or tanks for air or refrigerant contamination.

^ Two year warranty.
