SPR ADJUSTMENT
The TX200 has been factory adjusted and tested for optimum performance at operating
temperatures from 10 to 49
0 C. Adjustment of the SPR Valve was optimized to prevent
High Pressure Shut Down during operation at higher temperatures.
Increased recovery rates can be obtained at normal operating temperatures (Approx 21 0
C) by re-adjusting the SPR Valve. The following describes how to re-adjust the SPR:
1. Remove the TX200 Cover.
2. Remove the Cap from the Vent Port on the Compressor.
3. Connect a Low Pressure Manifold Gauge to this port. The hose used to make this
connection must have a Valve Core Depressor.
4. Locate the SPR Valve which is silver in color and mounted just inside the Inlet Port of
the TX200.
5. Use a screw driver to remove the Plastic Cap from the end of the SPR Valve to gain
access to the SPR adjusting screw.
6. Connect the Inlet of the TX200 to a cylinder of refrigerant and operate the TX200 as
described in the Recovery Mode of Operation section of this manual.
7. Use a screw driver to turn the SPR adjusting screw clockwise one full turn.
8. Turn the TX200 off and observe the pressure increase on the Gauge Manifold
connected to the Compressor.
9. Turn the TX200 on and observe the pressure drop. This pressure will decrease and
stabilize at the new "SPR Pressure Setting".
10. Repeat the above steps until the "SPR Pressure Setting" is 25 PSIG (1.7 Bar).
11. Replace SPR Valve Plastic Cap, Compressor Vent Port Cap, and TX200 Cover.
NOTE... When using the TX200 at higher temperatures, a High Pressure Shutdown
causes the Compressor On Light to go off, even though there is still pressure
at the inlet of the TX200. The Condenser Fan will still be running.
Another way to prevent the TX200 from shutting down is to "throttle" the inlet
pressure by slightly closing the Ball Valve on the Inlet Hose.
