General Cautions
• Always inspect the sample hose before each use. Replace the hose if it appears cracked, frayed,
obstructed or fouled with oil.
• ALWAYS turn the compressor or automobile engine off before connecting the instrument to an
air conditioning system.
• Always wear eye and skin protection when working with refrigerants. Escaping refrigerant
vapors will present a freezing danger.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble the instrument; do not use the
instrument in wet or damp areas.
• DO NOT direct refrigerant vapors venting from hoses towards the skin.
• DO NOT disassemble the instrument. There are no serviceable components internal to the
instrument and disassembly will void the warranty.
• ALWAYS place the Identifier on a flat and sturdy surface.
• DO NOT utilize any other hose other than those supplied with the instrument. The use of other
hose types will introduce errors into the refrigerant analysis and instrument calibration.
• ALWAYS verify that the refrigerant to be tested does not contain or will not emit heavy loads of
oil or liquid.
• NEVER admit any sample into the instrument at pressures in excess of 300 psig.
• DO NOT utilize the coupler supplied on the service end of the R134a Sample Hose for any
application other than with the instrument. The coupler supplied is a modified version that
does not contain a check valve and is not suitable for any other refrigerant application.
• NEVER obstruct the air intake, sample exhaust or case vent ports of the instrument during use.
