3. Configuració inicial

3.1 Desembalatge

Carefully remove the Xetron LMG-10X and its accessories from the packaging. Verify that all components listed in the 'What's in the Box' section (Figure 1.2) are present and undamaged.

3.2 Encès

Insert the required batteries (refer to Specifications for type and quantity) into the battery compartment located on the rear of the unit. Press and hold the power button () to turn the device on. The LCD screen will illuminate.

3.3 Connecting Temperature Probes

Connect the two wired temperature clamp probes to the designated ports on the manifold. Ensure a secure connection. These probes are essential for accurate superheat and subcool calculations.

3.4 Connexió de mànegues

Attach your standard 1/4" SAE threaded refrigerant hoses to the manifold's ports. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks. The manifold features a convenient suspension hook for easy placement during use.

4. Instruccions de funcionament

4.1 Basic Measurements (Pressure, Temperature)

Once powered on and connected, the LMG-10X will display real-time pressure readings for both high and low sides, along with temperatures from the connected probes. The unit automatically compensates for temperature variations.

4.2 Superheat and Subcooling Calculation

The LMG-10X automatically calculates superheat and subcooling values based on the selected refrigerant and the measured pressures and temperatures. These values are displayed prominently on the screen.
