5. Configuração
5.1 Instalação da bateria
- Locate the battery cover on the back of the unit (refer to Figure 2, item 7).
- Abra a tampa da bateria.
- Insert one 9V battery, ensuring correct polarity.
- Feche a tampa da bateria com segurança.
Note: If the battery compartment seems tight, ensure you are using a standard-sized 9V battery and inserting it correctly. Do not force the battery.
5.2 Inicialização e autoteste
Press the power button to turn on the device. The gauge will perform a brief self-test, and the display will illuminate. Ensure the battery icon indicates sufficient power.
5.3 Conexão das Mangueiras
Connect appropriate refrigerant hoses (not included) to the inlet and outlet connections (refer to Figure 2, items 3 and 6) of the manifold gauge. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.

6. Operação
6.1 Selecting Refrigerant Type
The L202 has a built-in database of 90 refrigerants. Use the function keys to scroll through and select the appropriate refrigerant for your system (e.g., R134A, R410A, R1234YF). The gauge will display the corresponding saturation temperature data.

Modos de Operação 6.2
The L202 features three primary operating modes:
Figure 5: Three Common Working Modes
- Refrigerant Measurement Mode: Displays real-time pressure and corresponding saturation temperature. This mode is essential for subcooling/superheating calculations and general system pressure monitoring.
- Vacuum Percentage Modo: Used when pulling a vacuum on a system. It shows the vacuum level as a percentage, indicating the efficiency of the vacuum process.
- Leak Detection Mode: Assists in identifying potential leaks within the HVAC system by monitoring pressure changes over time.
6.3 Conversão de Unidades
The gauge supports multiple pressure and temperature units. Use the function keys to switch between:
- Unidades de pressão: KPa, Bar, PSI, InHg, KgF/cm²
- Unidades de temperatura: Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F)
