16900 Refrigerant Identifier 3
CAUTION: To prevent equipment damage,
•
Sample Filter: Inspect the outside diameter of the white sample filter element before and
after each use of this instrument. As soon as red spots begin to appear on any portion of the
white element outside diameter, the filter requires replacement. Failure to replace the filter
when so indicated may result in “out of warranty” damage to the instrument.
•
Sample Input: This instrument requires connection of the sample hose to the low, or vapor,
side port of the source vehicle or refrigerant cylinder. Connection of the sample hose to
the high, or liquid, port of the source vehicle or refrigerant cylinder will result in “out of
warranty” damage to the instrument. Additionally, the low side or vapor port shall not emit
sample gas in excess of 300 psig or sample gas that contains oil or liquids.
•
Sample Hose: Inspect the sample hose before and after each use of the instrument.
Immediately replace the hose if it appears cracked, obstructed, or fouled with oil.
•
Never use a sample hose other than those approved for use with the Identifier. The use of
other hose types may introduce errors and excessive refrigerant loss.
•
Verify the refrigerant source to be tested will not emit oil or liquid refrigerant before
connecting the Identifier sample hose.
•
Never connect the Identifier to any refrigerant source that exceeds 300 psi pressure.
•
Do not use the coupling supplied on the Identifier R-134a sample hose for any purpose other
than Identifier sampling. The coupler supplied on the R-134a hose does not contain check
valves and will continually vent refrigerant.
•
Never obstruct the sample exhaust or air intakes—located on the front and top of the
instrument—during use of this tool.
•
Do not throw, drop, immerse in liquid, or mistreat the instrument.
•
Store the instrument in its storage case when not in use.
•
Maintain the cleanliness of the instrument to prevent contamination and prolong its life.
