(1) Connection of gauge manifold
1) Properly remove the crushed end of the pinch-off
tube at the high pressure side of the refrigerant
cycle with a pipe cutter.
2) Fit the process tube fitting to the pinch-off tube.
3) Connect the charging hoses (red-high pressure
side) for the gauge manifold to the process tube
fitting.
< NOTE >
Connect the hoses using care not to mistake
the high pressure side for the low pressure side
and vice versa.
4) Connect the charging hose (green) at the center
of the gauge manifold to the vacuum pump.
(2) Evacuation
1) Open the high pressure valve (Hl) of the gauge
manifold.
2) Turn on the vacuum pump to start evacuation.
(Evacuate the system for approximately 15 min.)
3) When the high pressure gauge indicates 30 inHg
(100 kPa) or larger, turn off the vacuum pump
and close the high pressure valves of the gauge
manifold.
