6. Подешавање

  1. Инсталација батерије: Open the battery compartment on the back of the unit and insert the required batteries (typically AA or AAA, refer to device markings if present). Ensure correct polarity.
  2. Укључено: Притисните тастер Дугме за напајање (11) to turn on the device. The LCD display (3) should illuminate.
  3. Избор јединице: Притисните тастер Дугме јединице (9) to cycle through available pressure units (e.g., kPa, psi, bar) and the ° Ц / ° Ф Дугме (10) for temperature units. Select your preferred units.
  4. nulta kalibracija: Before connecting to a system, ensure all valves (13, 14) are closed and the hoses are disconnected. Press the Зеро Буттон (6) to calibrate the pressure sensors to zero. This ensures accurate readings.
  5. Connect Temperature Probes: Plug the temperature clamp probes into the Clamp-on Temperature Probe Sockets (2) on the top of the unit. Attach the clamps securely to the high and low-pressure lines of the HVAC system.

7. Упутство за употребу

This section outlines common operational procedures for the LM120+.

7.1. Избор типа расхладног средства

  1. Када је уређај укључен, притисните тастер R+/R- Buttons (7) to scroll through the available refrigerant types (e.g., R134a, R22, R410a).
  2. Select the refrigerant type that matches the system you are working on. This is crucial for accurate pressure-temperature conversions.

7.2. Performing Pressure and Temperature Tests

  1. Ensure hoses and temperature probes are correctly connected to the system.
  2. Slowly open the high-pressure (red) and low-pressure (blue) valves on the manifold to allow refrigerant to flow into the gauge.
  3. The LCD display will show real-time pressure readings for both high and low sides, along with corresponding saturation temperatures based on the selected refrigerant.
  4. The temperature probes will display the actual line temperatures (T1 and T2).
  5. Compare the saturation temperatures with the actual line temperatures to determine superheat and subcooling, which are critical for system diagnosis.

7.3. Performing a Pressure Leakage Test

  1. Connect the gauge to the system and pressurize it to the desired test pressure (ensure system can handle the pressure).
  2. Затворите све вентиле на колекторима.
  3. Притисните тастер Фунцтион Буттон (4) to navigate to the leakage test mode.
  4. Притисните тастер Дугме Рун/Стоп (5) to start the leakage test timer. The gauge will record the initial pressure.
  5. Allow the test to run for a specified period (e.g., 15-30 minutes, or as per system manufacturer's recommendations).
  6. The display will show the elapsed time and the pressure difference. A significant drop in pressure indicates a leak.
  7. Притисните Дугме Рун/Стоп (5) again to stop the test.

7.4. Пуњење/евакуација расхладног средства

The LM120+ can be used in conjunction with a vacuum pump and refrigerant tank for system evacuation and charging. Always refer to the specific HVAC system's service manual for proper procedures and refrigerant amounts.

  1. евакуација: Connect the yellow hose to a vacuum pump. Open the manifold valves and the vacuum pump valve to evacuate the system to the desired vacuum level. Monitor the vacuum reading on the gauge.
  2. Пуњење: After evacuation, close the manifold valves and disconnect the vacuum pump. Connect the yellow hose to a refrigerant tank. Purge the yellow hose of air. Slowly open the appropriate manifold valve (low side for vapor charge, high side for liquid charge with caution) to allow refrigerant into the system. Monitor pressure and temperature readings.

8. Одржавање

  • Чишћење: Wipe the device and hoses with a soft, damp крпа. Не користите абразивна средства за чишћење или раствараче. Уверите се да влага не уђе у електричне компоненте.
  • Складиштење: Store the LM120+ in its original case or a protective container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Замена батерије: If the display becomes dim or the device does not power on, replace the batteries. Ensure the device is off before replacing batteries.
  • Hose and Seal Inspection: Regularly inspect hoses for cracks, wear, or damage. Check O-rings and seals on connections for integrity to prevent leaks. Replace worn components as needed.
