4. സജ്ജീകരണവും കണക്ഷനുകളും

Before operating the machine, ensure all connections are secure and hoses are in good condition. Always use the shortest possible 3/8" hoses to maximize recovery rates.

4.1 പ്രാരംഭ സജ്ജീകരണം

1. Place the Robinair 34788NI-H on a stable, level surface.
2. Connect the power cord to a grounded 125 VAC 60 Hz outlet.
3. Ensure the internal refrigerant cylinder is properly installed and secured.

4.2 Connecting to the Vehicle A/C System

1. Connect the manifold gauge set to the vehicle's high and low-side service ports.
2. Connect the yellow hose from the manifold gauge set to the INLET port of the Robinair 34788NI-H machine.
3. Connect a recovery cylinder to the OUTLET port of the Robinair 34788NI-H. Always use a refrigerant scale under the recovery cylinder to prevent overfilling.
4. If recovering from a system with potential acid contamination (e.g., a burned-out compressor), install an acid core filter-drier in-line between the vehicle and the recovery machine.

5.1 റഫ്രിജറന്റ് വീണ്ടെടുക്കൽ

1. Ensure all hoses are correctly connected as per Section 4.2.
2. Select the 'Recovery' function from the main menu.
3. The machine will automatically begin recovering refrigerant. The display will show the amount recovered.
4. The machine will automatically shut down if the pressure rises above 550 PSI.
5. For faster recovery, remove valve cores from the system when possible.

5.2 Vacuum and Leak Test

1. After recovery, select the 'Vacuum' function. The default time is 15 minutes, adjustable up to 99 minutes.
2. The machine will evacuate the system.
3. Upon completion of the vacuum, the machine will automatically perform a 'Vacuum Leak Test' to monitor the vacuum level and indicate potential leaks.

5.3 Oil Drain and Injection

1. The machine automatically drains recovered oil into a graduated container. Note the amount to replace.
2. Select the 'Oil Inject' function to add the appropriate amount of new oil back into the system.

5.4 Refrigerant Recharging

1. Select the 'Charge' function.
2. Input the required charge amount or select from the optional A/C system capacities database (if installed).
3. Choose the charge mode: high side, low side, or both sides.
4. The machine will automatically charge the system to the specified amount.
