y
The ACX1180 must be subjected to regular maintenance
by service personnel or authorized agents to ensure the
safety of the unit.
y
Disconnect power before performing any maintenance or
service to unit.
y
Never perform any maintenance work which is not ex-
pressly recommended in this manual. Contact customer
service if components have to be replaced other than in
the course of maintenance work.
y
ACX1180 must be connected to a properly grounded
electrical connection.
y
If there is damage to the ACX1180, terminate usage im-
mediately and contact customer service.
y
The service hoses and service quick-release couplings
must be regularly checked for wear and replaced if dam-
aged.
y
The ACX1180 must be operated in an environment that
will provide at least four air changes per hour.
y
Observe local laws or directives as to ensure the safety
of the pressurized device.
y
For safety reasons it is advisable to use a residual cur-
rent operated circuit breaker (rccb) with the following
specifications:

• Avoid using an extension cord with the unit. If necessary,
use a good condition (three wire grounded, #14AWG or
larger) extension cord of the shortest possible length. In
addtion, the current drawn by all devices connected to
the wall socket must not exceed 15A total.

Inspect the outside diameter of the white sample filter
element before and after each use of this unit. As soon
as red spots begin to appear on any portion of the white
element outside diameter, the filter requires replacement.
Failure to replace the filter when so indicated may result
in damage to the identification unit (out of warranty).
y
This unit requires connection of the sample fitting to the
LP side port of the source vehicle or refrigerant cylinder.
Connection of the test hose to the high, or liquid, port of
the source vehicle or refrigerant bottle will result in dam-
age to the unit (out of warranty).
y
Inspect the test hose before and after each use of the
unit. Immediately replace the hose if it appears cracked,
obstructed, or fouled with oil.
y
Never use a test hose other than those approved for use
with the Identifier.
y
Never connect the Identifier to any refrigerant source that
exceeds 300 psi pressure.
