Service Manual
SKOPE BME-N ActiveCore
• Charging scales, rated by the manufacturer as suitable for use with hydrocarbon
refrigerant, accurate to 1.0 gm
Leak detector
A leak detector is used to track and locate the source of hydrocarbon gas leaks. It is:
• recommended for servicing hydrocarbon units on-site.
• required for servicing hydrocarbon units off-site.
Service vehicle
• Must be suitable for transporting flammable gas.
• Vehicle cargo area:
▪ Must be well ventilated to outside the vehicle only.
▪ Must have no ignition sources, nor any areas where the gas may pool.
• Must be able to transport swap units.
• Should carry minimum SKOPE hydrocarbon service parts.
On-site Work The service technician must have required knowledge, skills, qualifications, and tools before
beginning any on-site work on the refrigeration sealed system.
Minimum knowledge and skills
• Qualifications and certifications required by local/state regulatory bodies to service
hydrocarbon refrigeration systems
• Safe working practices, including a safe working environment at all times
Minimum tools and equipment
• Safety signage and/or barrier – suitable to create a safe work zone 1.5 m around the
cabinet
• Hydrocarbon gas detector
• Dedicated hydrocarbon gauge set
• Bullet valves/line piercing valves suitable for a 6 mm tube
Off-site Work Hydrocarbon workshop
The following tools and equipment are required in the hydrocarbon workshop:
• Dedicated area for hazardous work – suitable for servicing and releasing flammable
hydrocarbon refrigerant
• Hydrocarbon leak detector
• Refrigeration gauge set – suitable for flammable hydrocarbon refrigerant
• Dry nitrogen – suitable for purging and high pressure testing
• Intrinsically safe refrigeration vacuum pump, rated by the manufacturer as suitable for use
with hydrocarbon refrigerant
• Charging scales, rated by the manufacturer as suitable for use with hydrocarbon
refrigerant, accurate to 1.0 gm
• Hydrocarbon refrigerant supply cylinder
Refrigeration
Cartridge
Assembly
The refrigeration cartridge is a bottom-mounted, electronically controlled, removable cartridge.
For safety and compliance, only SKOPE-supplied parts specifically for this appliance may be
used for repairs. Other parts may appear to be suitable, but may not be approved or safe for
use in an appliance with hydrocarbon refrigerant.
The cartridge must only be used on a SKOPE hydrocarbon-compliant cabinet. Refer to the
cabinet rating label to determine if the cabinet is suitable for use with a hydrocarbon cartridge.
