  • Page 92: Oil Drain

    Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 753, ACS 763, ACS 863 Service Manual OIL DRAIN PROCESS During the Oil Drain process, the recyclesolenoid is activated until there is greater than 1.1 bar (16 psi) in the accumulator. The recycle solenoid is then deactivated and the oil drain solenoid is activated until there is either a greater than 0.01 bar (0.15 psi) change per second in the accumulator or less than 0.62 bar (9 psi)

  • Page 93: Vacuum

    Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 753, ACS 763, ACS 863 Service Manual VACUUM PROCESS The default vacuum time is 5:00 minutes. When the vacuum process begins, the vacuum pump is activated. After a 5 second delay, the vacuum, high side and low side inlet solenoids are also activated. When the timer reaches 0 (zero), the vacuum process will stop.

  • Page 94: Vacuum Leak Test

    Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 753, ACS 763, ACS 863 Service Manual VACUUM LEAK TEST PROCESS High side inlet and low side inlet solenoids are activated to equalize high and low sides of system being serviced. Unit checks low-side transducer for rise in vacuum. If the unit sees a rise of 338 mbar (10 in Hg) within 5 minutes time, the vacuum leak test will fail (this is not a service menu test.)

  • Page 95: Air Purge

    Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 753, ACS 763, ACS 863 Service Manual AIR PURGE PROCESS The air purge solenoid is activated to release excess pressure from the internal storage vessel (ISV). The air purge will occur when the machine is on and idle for 5 minutes, and prior to background fill.

  • Page 96: Oil Inject 1 (Pag)

    Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 753, ACS 763, ACS 863 Service Manual OIL INJECT 1 (PAG) PROCESS The oil injection is an automatic process. During the charge setup, the operator must enter the amount of oil wanted and the machine injects the oil automatically. The system being serviced must have a vacuum to pull oil from the oil PAG inject bottle.

  • Page 97: Oil Inject 2 (Poe)

    Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 753, ACS 763, ACS 863 Service Manual OIL INJECT 2 (POE) PROCESS The oil injection is an automatic process. During the charge setup, the operator must enter the amount of oil wanted and the machine injects the oil automatically. The system being serviced must have a vacuum to pull oil from the oil POE inject bottle.

  • Page 98: Uv Dye Inject

    Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 753, ACS 763, ACS 863 Service Manual UV DYE INJECT PROCESS During the Charge process, the unit activates the dye inject solenoid to inject a preset amount of dye into the vehicle A/C system to check for leaks. The system being serviced must have a vacuum to pull dye from the dye inject bottle.

  • Page 99: Pre-Charge

    Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 753, ACS 763, ACS 863 Service Manual PRE-CHARGE PROCESS (R1234yf only if enabled) During the pre-charge process (before to perform the charge), the unit charge a little amount of refrigerant in the A/C system and perform a pressure test to check any leaks.

  • Page 100: Charge

    Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 753, ACS 763, ACS 863 Service Manual CHARGE PROCESS During the Charge process, the end user may select either high-side charge, low-side charge, or both. When the charge process gets close to the programmed weight, the unit slows down. The unit charges by compensation and will prompt the user in completing the charge.

  • Page 101: Recycle/Power Charge

    Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 753, ACS 763, ACS 863 Service Manual RECYCLE/POWER CHARGE PROCESS If the unit does not complete a full charge, the compressor and recycle solenoid are activated, then stop to build tank pressure. Figure 4-21. Recycle/Power Charge...

  • Page 102: Hose Flush

    Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 753, ACS 763, ACS 863 Service Manual HOSE FLUSH PROCESS Flushing of the hoses is required if the next vehicle to be serviced contains a different type of A/C system oil than the previous vehicle serviced. During the Hose Flush Process, the compressor is activated. The high side and low side charge, high side and low side inlet and recover solenoids are intermittently activated in a charge/recover process to flush hoses or residual oils.

  • Page 103: Periodic Leak Test

    Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 753, ACS 763, ACS 863 Service Manual PERIODIC LEAK TEST (R1234yf only) During the periodic leak test process the circuit is pressurized. The unit activates the high side charge, low side charge, high side inlet, low side inlet, recycle, oil return, recover solenoids to check any pressure decay.

    Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 753, ACS 763, ACS 863 Service Manual N2H2 INJECTION PROCESS During the N2H2/N2 injection process, the N2H2 Inlet Solenoid opens to allow the gas flooding the vehicle A/C system thru the ACS service hoses. Pressure is monitored by the Low Side Tranducer.

  • Page 105: N2H2 Venting

    Plumbing and Mechanical ACS 753, ACS 763, ACS 863 Service Manual N2H2 VENTING PROCESS During the N2H2/N2 injection process (when injection is completed), the N2H2 Vent Solenoid opens to purge N2H2/ N2 trapped into the ACS inlet. Vacuum is then performed to remove any possible remained N2H2/N2 after venting.
