ODDB does not show if set to manual value (page 27). TSH: Live target superheat calculated from ODDB and IDWB. Each of these measurements can be live or manually entered (page 17). T1-T2: Live simple subtraction of the bottom display (T2) from the middle display (T1). With SLT and LLT showing, you can check for a temperature drop across a filter drier. With R and S showing, you can check the effect of the indoor unit. With TT and T showing, you can see how close the actual T is to the target. AIR Select Press AIR to display various calculations and measurements from Job Link system psychrometers you've assigned (page 26) The parameter is briefly shown when pressed, then shown at the top of the LCD Press AIR for >1 second to view SLT/LLT SLT: Live reading of suction line temperature. LLT: Live reading of liquid line temperature. R: Live reading from return air psychrometer. S: Live reading from supply air psychrometer. TT: Live target dry bulb split from psychrometers. T: Live actual dry bulb split from psychrometers. 15 Superheat (SH) and Subcooling (SC) Superheat is the amount of heat added to refrigerant after changing to a vapor in the evaporator Subcooling is the amount of heat removed from refrigerant after changing to a liquid in the condenser View both live at the same time! 1. Use ARROWS to select the system refrigerant. 2. Close all manifold valves. 3. Connect EPA approved refrigerant hoses to LOW and HIGH side ports. 4. Fully plug pipe clamp thermocouples into SLT and LLT rear jacks. 5. Hand tighten both the LOW side hose to suction line service port and the HIGH side hose to the liquid line service port. 6. Clamp the SLT thermocouple to the suction line between the evaporator and compressor, at least 6 inches from the compressor. 7. Clamp the LLT thermocouple to the liquid line between the condenser and metering device, as close to the service port as possible. 8. Purge hoses as you open HIGH and LOW manifold valves. 9. View superheat and subcooling in real-time. · Ensure system has stabilized before using superheat or subcooling to adjust the charge of the system. · To add or remove refrigerant connect the tank/cylinder/machine to the center refrigerant port. Use manifold valves to precisely charge or recover refrigerant as needed. Follow recommended charging or recovery practices from equipment manufacturer and training. · When superheat and/or subcooling cannot be calculated, "- - - - " will be displayed. If superheat and/or subcooling is negative, "Below Typical Range" will show. In rare cases this is normal, but usually a thermocouple is disconnected or the selected refrigerant is incorrect. 16 Target Superheat (TSH) Compare target superheat (TSH) to actual superheat (SH) when charging fixed orifice air conditioning systems TSH is continually calculated from indoor wet bulb (IDWB) and outdoor dry bulb (ODDB) temperatures IDWB: By default, this is a manually set value of 60.0°F. For a live measurement, assign the optional model JL3RH wireless psychrometer (page 26). ODDB: By default, this is the live measurement of the ODDB thermocouple jack. If you prefer a static measurement, assign a manual value (page 27). 1. Connect the included type K bead thermocouple to the ODDB thermocouple jack. Use the alligator clip to locate the bead in a shaded area of the condenser to measure the temperature of air entering the condenser. 2. Press VIEW until ODDB is displayed to verify the measurement. If you changed ODDB to a manually set value, it will be used to calculate TSH but will not be displayed. 3. Measure IDWB after the filter, just in front of the indoor coil. If a psychrometer is assigned, you can press AIR until wet bulb is displayed to verify the measurement. 4. Press VIEW until TSH is displayed. 17 Deep Vacuum Follow recommended evacuation practices from equipment manufacturer and training Alarms can be adjusted in the MENU (page 28) 1. Close all manifold valves (including shutoff valve to pump). 2. Setup your tools and equipment (see diagram). Connect HIGH port to liquid line service port. Connect LOW port to suction line service port. Connect refrigerant (middle) port to vacuum pump making sure to have a shutoff valve between the pump and manifold. 3. Turn on your vacuum pump. 4. Open shutoff valve between pump and manifold. The vacuum sensor is now exposed to your pump, but it will not display until HIGH/LOW manifold valves are opened. This ensures the measurement is of the system and not just the manifold. 5. Open HIGH and LOW manifold valves. 6. Press ALARM to activate the low alarm. The stopwatch starts. The rate of change is displayed in units per minute. The smaller the rate of change, the closer you are to stabilization. You may need to improve your setup if rate slows well before reaching your desired vacuum (see Tips for Better Evacuations). 7. Once the the low alarm level is reached, the backlight blinks and alarm sounds. Press any button (other than ENTER) to silence alarm. 8. Close shutoff valve to block the pump. Do not close HIGH and LOW valves or you'll block the system and measure just the manifold! 9. Turn off your vacuum pump. 10. Press ALARM to activate the high alarm and start the stopwatch. 11. Once the high alarm level is reached, the backlight blinks, alarm sounds, and the stopwatch stops. Press any button (other than ENTER) to silence alarm. 12. Close HIGH and LOW manifold valves. The vacuum sensor is now blocked from the system (page 39). 18 Tips for Better Evacauations · Remove schrader cores and depressors with a core removal tool. · Use shortest vacuum rated hoses with largest diameter available. · Do not evacuate through hoses with low loss fittings. · Inspect the rubber seals at both ends of your hoses for damage. · Change pump oil before and during the job. Change pump oil on- the-fly without losing vacuum with Fieldpiece vacuum pumps. · When the vacuum pump is blocked, a slow rise that stabilizes may signify moisture is still present in the system. A continuous rise to atmosphere indicates a leak. Check hoses, tools, or the system itself. · Measurements are less representative of the entire system when the vacuum pump is on because pumping creates a pressure gradient. Block the pump and allow the system to stabilize before assuming the measurement is of the entire system. 19 Test Tightness (Pressure Test) After working on a refrigerant-side component of an emptied system, it's a good idea to pressurize the system with dry nitrogen and check for pressure drops before evacuation 1. Pressurize the system with dry nitrogen. Pressure levels vary with the equipment you're testing. Always check with the manufacturer. 2. Connect the low side (suction line) port to the system and wait for the pressure to stabilize. You can connect the high side (liquid line) as well to help monitor stability, but the pressure differential (P.diF) calculation is only using the low side sensor. 3. Attach SLT clamp to the pipe you're going to pressurize. This temperature is used to compensate for any temperature changes between the start and end of the test. To deactivate temperature compensation, unplug or unassign SLT before starting the test; SLT will not be shown or used. 4. Press TEST TIGHTNESS to prepare test. 5. Press ENTER to start the test. The stopwatch starts. Real-time compensated pressure change is labeled P.diF. Real-time temperature is labeled SLT. Real-time temperature change is labeled T. 6. Press ENTER to stop the test. The stopwatch, P.diF, and T freeze. If P.diF is negative, there may be a leak in the system. If P.diF is positive, SLT or nitrogen temperature may be unstable. High and low side pressures and SLT continue to display, but they are no longer being used. 7. Press ENTER to exit the test. · To save battery life, the screen will turn off after 3 hours of testing, 20 but will continue to test. Press any button to turn the screen on. Test for Noncondensables If head pressure seems high even after cleaning coils, optimizing airflow, and other routine maintenance, you may have noncondensables trapped in the system Noncondensables can reduce efficiency, performance, and put extra stress on system components Noncondensables can enter the system in many ways, and your initial system service may be following years of poor service that introduced the noncondensables 1. Use ARROWS to select the system refrigerant. 2. Unpower the compressor, but allow the condenser fan to run. 3. Connect high side port to the system to view system pressure. 4. Clamp one thermocouple to the discharge line. 5. Clamp the other thermocouple to the liquid line. 6. Clip the ODDB thermocouple to measure the air entering the condenser. 7. Monitor all three temperatures until they all stabilize and show the same value. 8. View the subcooling (SC) calculation on the display. The closer SC is to 0.0°, the fewer noncondensables are trapped. Depending on the system, a negative SC may suggest a need to recover, evacuate, and charge with virgin refrigerant. 21 Menu Press MENU to enter the menu where most settings are located Use arrows to scroll through the menu and press ENTER to select one of the below menu items LogData: Enter data logging setup mode (page 23).

Calibrate a beaded thermocouple to the ODDB jack (page 25). 2. Store a virgin refrigerant cylinder, upright and untouched, in the stable ambient environment for at least 24 hours. 3. Leaving the cylinder in the same place it was left to stabilize, connect the cylinder to either the HIGH or LOW side port. 4. Cap the 2 unused ports. If you don't have caps with seals, you can connect both ends of a refrigerant hose to the unused ports or hose seats. Some refrigerant will remain in the hoses which you need to recover after calibration. 5. Use ARROWS to select the refrigerant type in the cylinder. 6. Use tape to attach the ODDB thermocouple bead halfway up the cylinder to measure the temperature of the refrigerant. 7. Press VIEW if ODDB is not shown. 8. Open both HIGH and LOW side manifold valves. 9. Open the refrigerant cylinder valve. The pressure inside cylinder should now be displayed on both HIGH and LOW side pressure sensors. 10. Allow the pressure readings and ODDB temperature to stabilize. 11. Press MENU. 12. Use ARROWS to show Adv Pressure Cal. 13. Press ENTER to initiate calibration of the pressure sensors. 14. Each pressure sensor will briefly display "Good" if successful or "Err" if unsuccessful, then return to normal operating mode. 30 Troubleshooting an "Err" message 1.
