- Користите Дугмад за избор типа расхладног средства R+/R- (7) to scroll through the available refrigerant types.
- Потврдите свој избор.
5.4 Мерење притиска
The LM120 measures both high and low pressures simultaneously.
- Ensure hoses are correctly connected to the high and low-pressure ports of the system.
- The display will show the current high and low pressure readings.
5.5 Мерење температуре
With optional clamp-on temperature probes, the device can measure dual temperatures.
Image 5.3: High/Low pressure temperature test display.
- Attach the temperature probes to the desired measurement points (e.g., suction line, liquid line).
- The display will show T1 and T2 temperature readings.
5.6 Evaporation Pressure & Temperature Test
This function measures the maximum pressure when the refrigerant changes from liquid to gas and the lowest temperature when the liquid becomes gaseous.
Image 5.4: Evaporation pressure and temperature test results on the display.
5.7 Condensing Pressure & Temperature Test
This function measures the minimum pressure when the refrigerant changes from gas to liquid and the maximum temperature when the gas changes to liquid.
