Identifier Warnings
• Refrigerant Blend Warning: As of January 2004, there are twelve (12) EPA SNAP “acceptable
for use” refrigerants that are available and legal for use as R12 substitutes. The Ultima ID will
not identify any of the substitutes as pure R12 or pure R134a. Each of the twelve blends has
been tested in the factory laboratory and it has been confirmed that the substitutes will not
“fool” the instrument. Should one of the blends be encountered, the instrument will fail the
refrigerant and provide a readout of analysis in terms of percentage by weight concentrations of
R12, R134a, R22 and hydrocarbons only. Due to cross sensitivity issues of the blends on the
sensing device, the resultant reading will not be correct in the analyzed concentrations.
However, the Ultima ID will never identify any of the blends as pure R12 or pure R134a.
• Sample Filter Warning: Replace the sample filter of the instrument AS SOON AS RED SPOTS
OR DISCOLORATION BEGIN TO APPEAR ON THE OUTSIDE DIAMETER OF THE WHITE
ELEMENT. Failure to properly maintain and replace the sample filter will result in severe
damage.
• Sample Input Warning: The instrument requires connection of the supplied sample hose to the
LOW SIDE OR VAPOR port of refrigerant storage cylinders or vehicle air conditioning systems.
DO NOT attempt to introduce liquid or samples heavily laden with oil into the instrument. DO
NOT connect the sample hose to the HIGH SIDE or LIQUID port!
• Liquid or oil laden samples will cause severe damage to the instrument that will not be covered
under warranty repairs.
• Battery ChargerWarning: When charging the battery with the 1000mA charger, the charger
will become warm. If the charger becomes hot, unplug the charger immediately! When
charging multiple battery packs, allow the charger to cool between each battery.
