Use the arrow keys (↓↑) to select the model required and press ENTER to confirm. The
following will appear on the display: *
where "w:yz" refers to the pounds of refrigerant for the vehicle selected. The machine will be
ready to enter the correct quantity of refrigerant. Confirm by pressing the ENTER key. Please
contact your retailer if you wish to install the DATABASE ADVANCED (DBA).
Once the quantity of gas has been entered, the following message will appear on the display
(only for machines with optional tracer function enabled): MFG P/N DK300
With NO UV DYE is flashing, press ENTER to confirm that you do NOT want to inject dye or
press the DOWN ARROW to move to UV DYE. With UV DYE flashing, enter the desired
quantity and press ENTER to confirm.
Open the high and low pressure taps on the machine and press the START key to begin the
refrigerant recovery/recycling
"Recovery/Recycling". During this phase, the LCD will display the quantity of refrigerant
recovered, in pounds. Upon completion of recovery, the machine will stop and discharge,
while automatically displaying the used oil extracted from the A/C system during the recovery
phase. The oil discharge operation lasts 4 to 12 minutes depending of ambient temperature. If
residual refrigerant in the A/C system should increase in pressure during this phase, the
machine will automatically recover this refrigerant.
Upon completion of discharge, the machine will check the presence of air into the bottle, and if
it's necessary to purge the non condensable gases, the alarm will sounds continuously and the
display will shows:
The CCST388 will automatically purge non-condensable gases (NCGS) if excess NCGS are
detected at the end of recovery. Allow the unit to complete this procedure to reduce the risk of
comebacks that can be caused by charging excess NCGS into an A/C
Then the machine automatically runs the vacuum phase for the preset time. After the first 10
minutes, the machine will test for leaks in the A/C system (WARNING! If vacuum time < 10
minutes this test is excluded). If leaks are found, the machine will stop automatically and
display the A/C SYSTEM LEAKS alarm. Detection of micro-leaks is not guaranteed. If the A/C
system seal is good, the machine will continue with the vacuum phase. Upon completion of
the vacuum phase, new oil will be added automatically: the volume will be equal to that of the
used oil discharged or to the volume set by the operator. If the dye function is installed, the
quantity of dye set by the operator will be added automatically. When completed, the system
will go on to charging with the preset quantity of refrigerant. NOTE: Charging may not run to
completion due to pressure balance between the internal bottle and the A/C system. If this
occurs, close the high pressure tap (leaving the low-pressure side open), and switch on the
A/C system. The unit is equipped with a bottle heater to limit this occurrence. When the
charging phase is complete the machine will display:
