Troubleshooting Display 1.Touch screen FAILED 2.The electronic scale is not accurate Cause Solution 1.Click the touch screen, no key sound. Replace the touchscreen 2.Smashed by an object . Replace the touchscreen 3.The screen does not display as a black screen, it may be a problem with the power supply of the motherboard. Repair the Main board and Check the Screen 4.There is a key tone interface but no action. Repair the Main board 1.Incorrect operation to zero the recovered refrigerant. Enter“maintenance”-”load cell calibration”-”automatic calibration” 2.The chassis screws are loose, fix the stability sensor screws, and the liquid storage tank fixing screws are loose. Re-tighten tightening screws 3.Transportation or loose fixing screws make the wall of the liquid storage tank contact other parts of the equipment. Tighten the fixing screws of the weight after adjustment, 4.If you disassemble and repair without permission, you should pay attention to the arrow direction of the electronic scale is downward.

Reopen 6.Incorrectly setting the filling amount to "zero". Reset 1.Vacuum pump failure. Change 2.Relay failure. Change 3.Damaged main board Repair 4.Prompt that the pressure of the hose is too high and cannot be vacuum. Recovery or manually deflate the external hose to less than 0.5KG/CM2 5.Can not maintain pressure for leak detection. 1.Check A/C system for leaks 2.Whether the quick connector and hose of the refrigerant machine leak, or the leak of the vacuum pumping piping. 4.VACUUM FAILED R744 16 3.Check PAG POE and UV solenoid valve for leakage 5.Smoky vacuum pump 6.Noisy vacuum pump 6.Filling valve leaks. Change 1.The vacuum pump oil is deteriorated. Change 2.Excessive vacuum pump oil, which accumulate vacuum pump oil in the vacuum pump for a long time when vacuuming the A/C system . Drain oil from vacuum pump to middle scale line 3 The connector of the pipes may be loose and ,which may cause smoke. Check and tighten the relevant connector. 4.The vacuum time is too long, and the heat will cause the vacuum pump oil to evaporate. Ignore 5.Car A/C systems keep too much gas for a long time The vacuum pump fixing screw is loose. Ignore The vacuum pump fixing screw is loose. Re-fasten the screws R744 17 R744 18
