Follow these steps to properly set up your AUTOOL LM 120 Digital Manifold Gauge Meter:

1. പ്രാരംഭ സംസ്ഥാനം: Before operation, ensure both the low pressure (blue) and high pressure (red) valves on the manifold gauge are in the closed position.
2. Connect Temperature Clamps: Connect the two temperature-test clamps to their respective sockets on the manifold gauge. These clamps are essential for accurate temperature readings during testing.

3. പവർ ഓൺ: Press the power switch on the manifold gauge to turn on the device. The LCD display will illuminate, showing current readings and settings.
4. ട്യൂബുകൾ ബന്ധിപ്പിക്കുക: Connect the blue, yellow, and red tubes to the corresponding ports on the manifold gauge. Ensure connections are secure to prevent leaks.
5. Connect Refrigerant Quick Connectors: Attach the refrigerant quick connectors to the appropriate service ports on the refrigeration system (e.g., vehicle AC system). The red connector typically goes to the high-pressure port, and the blue to the low-pressure port.

3. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

The AUTOOL LM 120 offers various functions for comprehensive refrigeration system analysis:

3.1 വാക്വം ഓപ്പറേഷൻ

To perform a vacuum operation, ensure all connections are secure. Open the necessary valves on the manifold gauge to initiate the vacuum process. The gauge will display the vacuum degree, allowing you to monitor the system's evacuation.

3.2. Refrigerant Filling

1. Connect Refrigerant Container: After vacuuming, connect a new refrigerant container to the yellow service hose of the manifold gauge.
2. Prepare Vehicle (if applicable): If working on a vehicle, start the engine and adjust the air conditioner to its lowest temperature setting to ensure the system is ready for refrigerant intake.
3. Inlet Refrigerant: Slowly open the appropriate valves on the manifold gauge to allow the new refrigerant to enter the system. Monitor the pressure readings on the digital display to ensure proper filling.

3.3. Multiple Test Modes

The LM 120 supports various test modes:

• Dual Pressure Measurement: Measures both high and low pressures simultaneously.
• Dual Temperature Measurement: Measures high and low pipeline temperatures using the connected test clamps.
• Vacuum Degree Measurement: ശതമാനം പ്രദർശിപ്പിക്കുന്നുtage of vacuum achieved.
• Pressure Leakage Measurement: Calculates pressure difference over time to detect leaks.
• യൂണിറ്റ് പരിവർത്തനം: Easily switch between pressure units (Kpa, Mpa, bar, inHg, PSI) and temperature units (Celsius/Fahrenheit).

4. പരിപാലനം

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your AUTOOL LM 120 Digital Manifold Gauge Meter:

• വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ: Regularly wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the display or casing.
• സംഭരണം: After each use, carefully uninstall all quick connectors and tubes. Turn off the manifold gauge. Pack the equipment securely in its carrying case to protect it from dust, moisture, and physical damage.
• ഘടക പരിശോധന: Periodically inspect the hoses, connectors, and temperature clamps for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace any worn components to maintain optimal performance and prevent refrigerant leaks.
• ഈട്: The LM 120 is constructed with high-strength engineering plastic, flexible non-slip silicone, and copper interfaces, designed for industrial-grade durability. Proper handling and storage will further extend its service life.

5. പ്രശ്‌നപരിഹാരം

If you encounter issues with your AUTOOL LM 120, consider the following:

• കൃത്യമല്ലാത്ത വായനകൾ: Ensure all connections are tight and free of leaks. Verify that the correct refrigerant type is selected in the device settings. If persistent, contact customer support for potential calibration needs.
• Temperature Sensor Issues: Check the connection of the temperature clamps. Ensure they are securely attached to the pipes for accurate readings. If clamps are damaged, they may need replacement.
• ഡിസ്പ്ലേ/പവർ ഇല്ല: Check battery levels. Ensure the power button is pressed firmly.
• Hose Leaks: Inspect hoses and their connections for any visible damage or loose fittings. Tighten connections or replace hoses if necessary.
• വാക്വം ഫംഗ്ഷൻ: Note that the LM 120 measures relative vacuum degree and does not display micron readings. If micron-level vacuum measurement is required, a different model may be necessary.

For issues not covered here, please refer to the detailed product manual or contact AUTOOL customer support.
