... NOTE ...
As refrigerant is processed by the TC670V, temperature variations can cause vapor to
change to liquid which may temporarily settle in various internal components.
If a known amount of refrigerant has been introduced into the TC670V it may not all be
seen in the Charging Cylinder Sight Glass.
This is normal and nothing to be concerned about. Refrigerant has not been lost.
The sight glass does not indicate the amount of refrigerant recovered. It is only
accurate for determining the amount of refrigerant charged out to the vehicle A/C System
while in the Charge Mode of operation.
! ! ! ! DO NOT TURN THE TC670V OFF OR DISCONNECT HOSES ! ! ! !
A small quantity of Liquid refrigerant will probably still remain in the A/C System. This can
be detected by observing an increasing pressure reading on the Low Side Gauge.
As pressure increases to a preset level, the TC670V will automatically cycle on and off to
continue recovering refrigerant.
Allow this automatic sequence to repeat until the vacuum level remains constant for at least 2
minutes.
