General Cautions - Bacharach Neutronics LEGEND ID RI-2018 Serie Bedienungsanleitung

General Cautions


ALWAYS wear eye and skin protection when working with refrigerants.
Escaping refrigerant vapors will present a freezing danger. Do NOT direct
refrigerant escaping from the sample hose toward exposed skin or toward
the face.

ALWAYS turn the compressor or automobile engine OFF before connecting
the instrument to an air conditioning system.
ALWAYS inspect the sample hose before each use. Replace the hose if it appears
cracked, frayed, obstructed or fouled with oil.

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 analyzer on a flat and sturdy surface.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do NOT disassemble the instrument;
do not use the instrument in wet or damp areas.

Some systems may contain hydrocarbons or flammable refrigerants. This
analyzer is designed with sealed heat sources and without sparking
components. Ensure adequate ventilation and always take proper
precautions when working with refrigerants.
DO NOT breathe refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes,
nose, and throat. Use recycling equipment certified to meet the requirements of SAE
J2788, J2843, J3030 or J2851 to remove refrigerant from the A/C system. If accidental
system discharge occurs, immediately ventilate the work area. There must be
adequate ventilation in the vehicle servicing area.

DO NOT utilize any hose(s) 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, tested from the Low Side, 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 500
psig.

NEVER obstruct the air intake, sample exhaust or case vent ports of the
instrument during use.

DO NOT utilize the coupler supplied on the service end of the R-134a or R-
1234yf Sample Hoses 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.
