Functions

Weight Measurement

The SRS1 scale is designed to measure refrigerant tanks weighing up to 110 lbs. Note: Placing items over 110 lbs on the scale may damage the scale.

1. Remove the scale from the padded case and place the platform on solid, level ground.
2. Press ON/OFF for 1 second to turn on the scale.
3. Press UNITS for 1 second to switch between LB, LB OZ, OZ and KG.
4. Press ZERO for 1 second to zero (tare) the scale.
5. Set your tank on the platform and zero again to view only the change in refrigerant.
6. View the change in weight in real-time when charging or recovering refrigerant.

Backlight

Press LIGHT to turn on the blue backlight on the LCD. This is useful when the sun is going down on late day jobs or any dark situation. The backlight uses extra battery power than standard use.

Weight Alarm

You can set the alarm to sound when approaching a set weight. This is useful when you know how much you want to add or remove from the system and you want to work on other things nearby. It is best to do a practice run before using on a job so you know how it works.

1. Set the tank on the platform.
2. Select desired units.
3. Press CHARGE or RECOVER.
4. Use the number keys to enter how much refrigerant you want to add (charge) or remove (recover). If in LB OZ mode, press ENTER to move to OZ.
5. Press ENTER.
6. The display will now show 0.0 and you can begin charging or recovering.
7. The alarm will sound when the weight gets close to the weight you entered, so you know when to close the valve.
8. Press ENTER/EXIT to exit CHARGE/RECOVER mode.
9. Press REPEAT to automatically set the alarm to the last entered weight.

Tech Tips

Respect the Environment

Always use hoses with ball valves or low-loss fittings to minimize harmful refrigerant gases entering the atmosphere.

Account for Your Hose Weight

Connect the hoses to the system and tank before zeroing the scale. After charge/recovery is finished and the system is stable, note the weight before removing hoses.
