Evacuation, Leak Checking, and Refrigerant Charging (Final Step) 
Evacuate the unit to 500 microns. Close off the vacuum pump valve and stop the pump. Wait 
five minutes to see if the vacuum holds. This checks for residual moisture and/or leaks. 
With a vacuum still in the unit, the refrigerant charge may be drawn into the system from a 
refrigerant container on weight scales. The correct amount of refrigerant may be added by 
monitoring the scales. 
Make sure to use the correct 
refrigerant for each refrigeration unit.  
When the correct charge has been added, close the unit 
manifold valves and disconnect the manifold gauges.
