5.1.7 Initial Check

Execute the following actions in sequence by following the display guided procedure and the
illustrations on the synthetic sheet attached to the equipment:

• Gas weight check

• Pressure check
• First tank filling

It is possible to interrupt the initial check and print a report with the equipment printer in which the
checking status is reported.

5.1.7.1 First tank filling

CAREFULLY ABIDE BY THE FOLLOWING

INSTRUCTIONS TO AVOID DANGER TO
PERSONS, THE DISCHARGE OF
COOLANT IN THE ATMOSPHERE

Let us consider as first filling the one carried out during the initial check to the internal tank of the
equipment free of coolant gas and containing air.

Set the quantity of gas to fill (with value of at least 2 Kg until the maximum allowed by the
equipment) and follow the guided procedure on the display.
Check that the equipment piping is not connected and is positioned in the pipe winder. Start the
procedure that initially foresees the creation of vacuum in the internal tank.

Only when the message appears to connect the recharge tank, connect the quick coupler HP (colour
red) of the unit to an external R134a coolant gas tank using the supplied adaptor.

Open the attachment by rotating the knob clockwise. Open the valve placed on the external tank.
There are two types of source tanks: with pick-up and without pick-up.

The tanks with pick-up must remain in erect position in order to transfer the liquid coolant, for this
type of tank connect to joint L (liquid).

The tanks without pick-up only have one valve, they must then be overturned to transfer the liquid
coolant.

The HP gauge indicates the pressure inside the external tank.

After a few minutes the unit automatically concludes the function.

At the end the display shows the weight of the loaded coolant.

ENGLISH 12 / 46 CAP. 5 - INSTALLATION

CLIMA-6000

5.1.8 Container filling

5.1.8.1 New oil container filling
The new oil container is on the left, looking at the equipment from the front.
To fill it it must be removed from its seat by using a quick joint, placed on the head of the container
itself; it is sufficient to exercise slight downwards pressure on the ring nut of the joint in order to
unslip it.

Fill the container, paying particular attention to the “oil care” valve.
This valve which consists in a membrane of cured silicon, it is necessary to compensate the
pressure variations inside the container and to block the inlet of humid air, thus preserving the new
oil inside.

At the end of the filling, close the container and place it back in its seat.

5.1.9 Optional accessories presentation

The CLIMA-6000 station may be equipped with further accessories such as
• kit for washing system components (Flushing kit) and
• kit for leak search (UV kit) with tracer and UV lamp.

FLUSHING KIT UV KIT

• attachment joint to recharge R134a gas from external tank

• additional bottles to use for oil of a different density and/or tracer
• vehicle database enabling (first activation/update)
• tank heating strap.

5.1.10 Working parameters setting

Inside the SETTINGS menu it will be possible to set various parameters and various activations
before beginning the cycles:

HYBRID FUNCTION
• by selecting this entry, one may decide to change the type of Oil to enter into the A/C
system

PRESSURE ZERO
• by selecting this entry, one may carry out zero setting of relative pressure to account for
atmospheric pressure (which depends on the altitude of the shop location).

OIL INJECTION MODE

• by selecting this entry, it will be possible to define the "manual" or "automatic" oil recharge by
identifying the type of oil (ISO46 or ISO100 or ISO150).

RECHARGE MODE
• by selecting this entry, one may decide whether to enable use of the Quick Mode or Zero
Tolerance recharge method.
“Quick Mode” is the quick recharge through HP with automatic compensation of the gas
tail in the pipe. “Zero Tolerance” is the precise recharge with LP which foresees switching
on the vehicle A/C. The machine will account for said preference on condition that the
vehicle in recharge is equipped with the necessary type of attachment (HP or LP),

ENGLISH 13 / 46 CAP. 5 - INSTALLATION

CLIMA-6000

otherwise the choice of “Quick Mode” or “Zero Tolerance” will be carried out automatically
by the machine. The “Zero Tolerance” procedure foresees impulsive injections in the
vehicle air conditioning system through the LP side. After the injection and before the
following one, one waits for the pressure to lower to the typical system value. The
pressure threshold to set contextually to the "Zero Tolerance" option must be slightly
higher than the typical value of the system. In case the threshold is too low, the loading
procedure stop, in case the threshold is too high, the integrity of the compressor would
be compromised. Said threshold is preset to a typical value of 3 bar.

TANK HEATING
• by selecting this entry, one may decide whether to enable use of the heating strap within the
vacuum phase. (Attention, the heating strap is optional and if one intends to enable it it
must be installed first)

MULTIPASS ENABLING

• by selecting this entry, it will be possible to change the measure unit relative to the
pressure (switching from Bar to Pascal)

LANGUAGE
• by selecting this entry, any language present in the database may be set. In case a language
with incomprehensible characters is chosen, one may switch directly to the language setting

menu by keeping the key pressed.

RIGHT\LEFT DRIVE
• by selecting this entry, one may set the vehicle driving side on which to carry out a recharge
inside the database. Normally it is on the left, it is necessary to select the right side only
when the machine is installed in countries such as England, with different driving sides.

SWITCH ON SCREEN
• by selecting this entry, one may decide if the initial switch on screen of the unit will be the
one relative to the database or the one relative to the main menu.

STANDARD SETTINGS
• by selecting this entry, one may reset the unit's standard settings.

10.3 RECEIVING TANK

The tank is the component which determines the category of the entire equipment according to PED
directive.
The PED “Pressure Equipment Directive” 97/23/EC defines and disciplines all those parts subject to
pressure with a given ratio between their pressure and their volume.

Safety against the risk due to pressure of the coolant fluid inside the receiving tank is assigned to
the safety valve installed during manufacturing. In case of replacement, use of new and original
spare parts not contaminated with other substances is recommended as well as requesting the
relative declaration of conformity proving the effective test of the components in the beginning.

The assistance centre assumes responsibility for regulation assembly and for checking before new
commissioning according to the prescriptions determined by the regulation in force in the country of
use, particularly the assistance centre will have to guarantee that the assembly will ensure a perfect
capacity and that the safety components are installed appropriately so to not compromise
functioning.

10.4 MANIFOLD CHART

The manifold chart, where the identification letters of the sectioning valve are highlighted, is
reported as follows:
• V = vacuum;
• A = recovery;
• I = interception (HP side and LP side separation);
• L = new oil
• R = coolant
The valves (V,A,I) which must lead the gas flow in both directions must necessarily be double
since the single valve is not able to guarantee bidirectional closure.

Notes regarding operator safety:

Attention presence of dangerous 230 VAC voltage on the solenoid valve terminals and in
proximity of the manifold, disconnect the equipment from the electrical network before each
maintenance intervention.

Attention presence of coolant fluid under pressure, in case of disassembly of manifold or its
components ensure that the tank is closed, the connection pipe between the tank and the
manifold is empty, the LP and HP connectors are disconnected from any system and closed,
that a pipe emptying operation has been made, and the manifold has been completely emptied
(for further details see CHAP.13).
