Commissioning

 

  

All the operations described in Section 7 must be performed 
prior to first A/C service

 

 

 

7.1

 

Connections  and  positioning 

 

 

The ACX2180H is designed for 110V, 50/60Hz. 

Follow the information on the ACX2180H rating 
plate.

 

 

1

 

Set the ACX2180H on a flat, vibration proof surface. 

2

 

Actuate the caster brake to stop the ACX2180H from rolling. 

3

 

Connect the power supply cable to the power supply. 

4

 

Switch on the main switch.

 

 

 

The unit must be positioned on a stable, horizontal surface to 

ensure correct operation. Unit must be in an area with proper 
ventilation and at least 10cm from any potential obstacle to 
its internal ventilation. 

 

 

Keep unit out of rain and excessive humidity as moisture 

could cause irreparable damage. 

 

 

Prevent exposure to direct sunlight and excessive dust.

 

 

 

Unit must be properly grounded with the power plug ground 

pin. Failure to ground unit can cause damage and constitutes a  
risk of fatal injury or shock to the operator.

 

 

  

Do not unplug any internal electrical connections and only 
have internal components opened and repaired by trained 
customer service personnel.

 

 

  

Contact customer service in the event of any transportation 
damage (e.g. oil leakage).

 

 

  

Leave quick couplings closed when unit is not in use and at 
end of vehicle service operations.

 

7.2

 

First start-up verification

 

 

 

 

Warning 

– Risk of frostbite from escaping 

refrigerant 

Refrigerant causes frostbite on the skin 

 

Check the service hoses for damage 

 

Firmly connect the service quick-
release couplings to the service hoses. 

 

Wear protective goggles. 

 

Wear protective gloves. 

Execute the following actions in sequential order by following 
the procedure as shown on the display: 

— 

Gas weight check (vacuums entire 

refrigerant circuit to ensure no 
contaminants are in system prior to 
filling 

— 

First internal cylinder fill 

 

  

It is possible to interrupt the initial check and print a report 

in which the status of the check is reported (if printer option 
was purchased).

 

 

  

Equipment cannot operate in automatic mode until all the 

steps of initial check are completed.

 

 

1. 

Set the internal cylinder fill to desired quantity (min. 3kg). 

2. 

Follow on-screen instructions. 

3. 

Make sure hoses are disconnected from any external 
source at this time. 

4. 

Start the procedure that initially creates vacuum in the 
internal refrigerant circuit (approximately 15 minute 
process). 

5. 

Once message is displayed, the unit can be connected to 
the external cylinder and the valves opened. 

6. 

Just before the targeted refrigerant amount is reached, 
unit will pause and prompt user to close external 
refrigerant tank connection. 

7. 

Once this is done, the unit will continue to recover the 
refrigerant from the hoses and end once this is completed. 
The total amount recovered will then be displayed.
