Advanced Test Products Europe RG5410A-E THE SAFE WAY IS THE ONLY WAY! NOTE! If you are not a qualified refrigerant service technician, do not use this equipment 1. The technician should always wear goggles and gloves when working on refrigeration systems.
Advanced Test Products Europe RG5410A-E REFRIGERANT GAS RECOVERY & CONTAINMENT Safety comes first. Read all safety information for the safe handling of refrigerant including the Material Safety Data Sheet provided by your refrigerant supplier. Never operate unit in an explosive environment. Wear safety glasses and protective gloves.
Keeping caps on these valves will guard against refrigerant leakage. 3. Always operate the unit on a flat level surface. 4. Your RG5410A-E has one internal pressure shut off switche. If the pressure inside the system should go above 38,5 bar (550 psi), the system will automatically shut itself off.
RG5410A-E OPERATING YOUR RG5410A-E Connect your RG5410A-E to a 230 V outlet. Switch the main power switch to the ON position. You should hear the fan running. Press the compressor start switch. This "momentary" switch will start the compressor. It may be necessary, under certain circumstances, to press this switch more than once to start the compressor.

OPERATING YOUR RG5410A-E Procedure for Normal System Recovery 1. Inspect the RG5410A-E thoroughly to insure that it is in good operating condition. 2. Make sure all connections are correct and tight. 3. Open the liquid port of the recovery cylinder (always open valves slowly to check hoses and connections for leaks).
The use of the Low Pressure Switch The RG5410A-E is equipped with a low pressure switch which is selectable ON/OFF (VAC SENSOR SELECT). When the low pressure switch is switched ON the unit will automatically switch off at 0,45 bar absolute. When the Low pressure Switch is switched OFF the unit will continue to pump down the system even when the vacuum stage has been reached.
Advanced Test Products Europe RG5410A-E RG5410A-E REFRIGERANT RECOVERY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION To achieve the deepest final vacuum, use the tank cooling method to lower the head pressure on the recovery tank. Repeat as necessary to achieve the desired vacuum level. NOTE: If there is no liquid in the recovery tank, then the cooling method will not work. In this case, use an empty tank that has been fully evacuated to achieve the final vacuum level required.

Advanced Test Products Europe RG5410A-E RG5410A-E RECOVERY Purging the non-condensable gasses from identified refrigerant in a tank 1. Allow the tank to sit undisturbed for 24 hours. (This allows the air to rise to the top). 2. Connect a manifold to the tank and read the amount of pressure in the tank by looking at the output pressure gauge.

SAFETY PRESSURE SWITCH (WITH MANUAL RESET FUNCTION) The RG5410A-E is equipped with an internal Safety Pressure Switch. If the pressure inside the system exceeds 38,5 bar, the system is switched off automatically. If the Safety Pressure Switch is activated automatically whilst filling a bottle, it could be caused by the bottle becoming overfilled.
If the unit is to be stored or not used for any length of time, we recommend that it be completely evacuated of any residual refrigerant and purged with dry nitrogen. Whenever you perform any type of maintenance work on your RG5410A-E, insure that it is disconnected from the power supply before you begin.

Advanced Test Products Europe RG5410A-E HELPFUL HINTS FOR REFRIGERANT RECOVERY Refrigerant recovery has come a long way in a few short years. On the surface it’s simply the process of taking refrigerant out of a system and putting it into a tank. However, this simple process can quickly become problematic if a few items are overlooked.

Advanced Test Products Europe RG5410A-E HOSES AND VALVES Hoses and Schraeder valves have a large impact on recovery speed. In general, the larger the hose, the less friction on the flow of refrigerant, the quicker the recovery time. Many contractors are now using 3/8” lines for the input to the recovery machine, even if those lines originate out of 1/4”...

Advanced Test Products Europe RG5410A-E KEEPING THE DIRT OUT During the recovery process your recovery machine can be exposed to debris that can, potentially, damage it. Including brazing spatter and copper and brass slithers. Further contamination can be introduced from the refrigerant storage tanks. To prolong the life of your recovery machine always use an in-line filter.
