5. Instrukcja obsługi

The CMTOOL Digital HVAC Gauges Set supports three primary operating modes: Refrigerant Filling and Pressure Inspection, Vacuum Operation, and Pressure Leak Test. Ensure all connections are secure before beginning any operation.

Diagram showing the three operating modes: Refrigerant Filling, Vacuum Operation, and Pressure Leak Test

Figure 6: Three main operating modes of the digital manifold gauge.

5.1 Działanie próżniowe

This mode is used to evacuate air and moisture from the HVAC system before charging with refrigerant.

  1. Connect the yellow hose from the gauge to the vacuum pump.
  2. Connect the blue hose to the low-pressure service port of the HVAC system and the red hose to the high-pressure service port.
  3. Ensure both the blue (LOW) and red (HIGH) valves on the manifold gauge are closed.
  4. Włącz pompę próżniową.
  5. Open the blue (LOW) and red (HIGH) valves on the manifold gauge to begin evacuation.
  6. Monitor the "VAC" percentage and pressure reading on the digital display. Vacuuming is complete when the vacuum degree reaches approximately 80%-90% and remains stable without further changes.
  7. Once vacuuming is complete, close both the blue (LOW) and red (HIGH) valves on the manifold gauge before turning off the vacuum pump.

5.2 Refrigerant Filling and Pressure Test

This mode allows for adding refrigerant to the system and monitoring pressure levels.

  1. Ensure the blue (LOW) and red (HIGH) valves on the manifold gauge are closed.
  2. Connect the yellow hose to the refrigerant can via the universal can tap.
  3. Connect the blue hose to the low-pressure service port and the red hose to the high-pressure service port of the HVAC system.
  4. Open the valve on the refrigerant can.
  5. Slowly open the blue (LOW) valve on the manifold gauge to allow refrigerant to enter the system. Monitor the pressure readings on the display.
  6. Once the desired pressure is reached, close the blue (LOW) valve and the valve on the refrigerant can.
  7. Observe the LP (Low Pressure) and HP (High Pressure) readings, along with the calculated evaporation (EV) and condensation (CO) temperatures.

5.3 Próba szczelności pod ciśnieniem

This test helps identify leaks in the HVAC system by monitoring pressure changes over time.

  1. Ensure the system is charged to the desired pressure.
  2. Close both the blue (LOW) and red (HIGH) valves on the manifold gauge.
  3. Press the "FN/ZERO" button to switch to the pressure leak test mode. The display will show "Time", "ΔP" (pressure difference), "Start Pressure", and "Current Pressure".
  4. Press the play button (usually indicated by an arrow on the screen or a specific button) to start the leak test timer.
  5. Monitor the "ΔP" value. A significant change indicates a leak. The test time is displayed in "HH:MM" format.
  6. Press the stop button to end the test.

8. Rozwiązywanie Problemów

If you encounter issues with your digital HVAC gauge set, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

ProblemMożliwa przyczynaRozwiązanie
Wskaźnik się nie włącza.Rozładowane lub nieprawidłowo zainstalowane baterie.Sprawdź biegunowość baterii lub wymień je na nowe baterie AAA.
Niedokładne odczyty ciśnienia.Gauge needs zeroing; loose connections; damaged sensor.Press and hold the "ZERO" button to re-zero. Check all hose connections for tightness. If problem persists, contact support.
Cannot achieve proper vacuum.System leak; vacuum pump issue; improper valve operation.Perform a pressure leak test to identify leaks. Check vacuum pump functionality. Ensure all valves are correctly opened/closed during vacuuming.
Display shows "10 digits" in pressure area.Initial power-on state.Press and hold the "ZERO" button to return to zero.
