5. Instruccions de funcionament
The Mastercool 69100 is designed for straightforward operation. Follow these steps for effective refrigerant recovery:
- Comprovació prèvia al funcionament: Verify all hose connections are secure and the recovery tank is not overfilled. Ensure the system being recovered is depressurized as much as possible before starting.
- Encès: Gireu l'interruptor principal a la posició 'ON'.
- Selecció del mode: Select the desired recovery mode (Vapor or Liquid) using the appropriate valve on the unit. For faster recovery, start with liquid recovery if applicable, then switch to vapor.
- Initiate Recovery: Open the valves on the manifold and the recovery tank to begin the recovery process. The unit's 1/2 HP oil-less compressor will start drawing refrigerant.
- Supervisar el progrés: Observe the pressure gauges and the sight glass to monitor the recovery process. The sight glass allows you to see the flow of refrigerant.
- Apagat automàtic: The unit features an automatic low-pressure cut-off switch. Once the system being recovered reaches a vacuum, the unit will automatically shut off, preventing compressor damage and indicating the completion of recovery.
- Purging (if necessary): After recovery, if purging is required to clear residual refrigerant from the unit's internal components, follow the specific instructions on the unit's control panel for the purge procedure.
- Desconnectar: Close all valves, turn off the unit, and carefully disconnect the hoses.

6. Manteniment
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Mastercool 69100 recovery system.
- Filter Dryer Replacement: The inline filter dryer removes moisture and contaminants. Replace it regularly, especially after recovering from contaminated systems or when the sight glass indicates moisture (e.g., bubbles or discoloration).
- Neteja: Keep the exterior of the unit clean. Use a damp cloth to wipe down surfaces. Ensure the cooling fan vents are free from obstructions to maintain efficient cooling.
- Oil-Less Compressor: The 1/2 HP compressor is oil-less, meaning it does not require oil changes or lubrication, simplifying maintenance.
- Inspecció de la mànega: Periodically inspect all service hoses for cracks, leaks, or damage. Replace any damaged hoses immediately to prevent refrigerant loss and ensure safety.
