Operating Instructions

NOTE:

If you have entered the RECOVERY mode through the SNAPSHOT

mode, the unit will automatically return to SNAPSHOT when you exit
RECOVERY, and will give you an updated printout.

MAKING REPAIRS

When all refrigerant has been removed from the vehicle, disconnect the unit
from the vehicle; close the high- and low-side service coupler valves, then
disconnect the hoses from the vehicle access ports. Make any repairs or
component replacements.

PULLING A VACUUM

Before recharging a vehicle, it is critical that you evacuate the system to remove
any air. Air can affect system operation, but evacuation ensures that air and other
contaminants have been removed, and the system is ready for a recharge.

1. If you have disconnected the ACR2005 to make repairs, reconnect the blue

low-side and red high-side service hoses, and open the service connectors.

2. Press the

VACUUM

key (or press the

SCROLL MENU

key to find the

correct screen with the

VACUUM

function, then press the

VACUUM

key)

to begin operation. OR, from the SNAPSHOT recovery mode, press the

SNAPSHOT SUMMARY

key, then press the

MAIN MENU

key.

3. The default evacuation time of 3.00 minutes appears on the screen. This

function provides a minimum of three minutes of evacuation, and will then
shut off if a vacuum of 28" Hg is achieved.

4. If you desire to evacuate for more than three minutes, change the time

using the numeric keypad, or use the

arrow to increase the time.

5. Press the

START

key to accept the evacuation time and begin the process.

6. When the unit reaches a vacuum of 28" Hg, the red indicator light flashes

and the beeper sounds to indicate the process is complete. If 28" Hg is not
achieved after 10 minutes of evacuation, the process stops, the light and
beeper signal that attention is needed, and you are prompted to check for a
leak.

NOTE:

Depending on your altitude, you may not be able to achieve 28" Hg.

For this reason, it is important that the altitude setting in the Setup Menu is
correct for your location. The ACR2005 uses this information to calculate and
provide an equivalent set point for your altitude. (For instance, at 7000 feet,
the ACR2005 pulls to 21" Hg before completing an evacuation.)
