16900 Refrigerant Identifier
21
SPECIFICATIONS
Sample Parameters: Vapor only, oil and liquid free, 300 psig (2 MPa)
maximum.
Detected Compounds: R-12, R-134a, air, and unknown compounds.
Sensor Technologies: Non-dispersive infrared and chemical fuel cell.
Refrigerant Sample Size: 0.12 ounces (3.5 grams) per typical
sample—weight of vapor loss.
Power (standard or optional): Powered by vehicle battery through
clip-on adapter harness (10–14V DC), or powered by line power
through plug-in wall adapter harness (120V AC, 60 Hz).
Operational Temperature Range: 39–122°F (4–50°C)
Instrument Weight: 2.8 lbs. (1278 grams)
R-12 / R-134a Purity Setpoint: PASS if a single refrigerant, R-12 or
R-134a, is detected in concentrations equal to or greater than 98% by weight.
Unknown Refrigerant Purity Setpoint: In the presence of detected
unknown refrigerant types, R-12 or R-134a are considered pure if
detected in concentrations equal to or greater than 96% by weight.
Effect of Air Concentrations: Air is not considered a contaminate
and will be removed from the weight concentration determination of
refrigerants. Air concentrations are reported only for blends of R-12
and R-134a refrigerants.
SAE1771: If the refrigerant being tested is identified as contaminated,
any visual percentages displayed of CFC-12 (R-12) or HFC-134a
(R-134a) outside the design certified value is informational and may
not be accurate.
SAE CERTIFICATION NOTE: This equipment has not been design-
certified for contaminate detection of R-124 or R142B.
