Introduction AC/R system operating efficiency depends on proper evacuation - and proper evacuation depends on a reliable vacuum gauge capable of monitoring the entire evacuation process. The AV760 accurately displays measurements from atmosphere (760,000 microns) all the way to deep vacuum (10 microns), so you can be sure your system is clean, dry and tight.

Using the AV760 CAUTION: Do not connect the AV760 to systems under high pressure. While the AV760 is designed to withstand accidental exposure to positive pressures, continued exposure may cause permanent damage. 1. Using the Appion Swivel Vacuum Connector (included), connect the AV760 to an available service port furthest from the vacuum pump. 2. Hand-tighten the connections to ensure a tight connection. Never tool-tighten a knurled fitting. 3. Press the Power button to turn on the AV760.
Bluetooth Operation NOTE: Bluetooth communication requires a compatible device running the ION App. Development of the ION App is ongoing, and any information presented in this manual about the ION App may not be up to date. Visit www.AppionTools.com or your device’s App Store for the latest ION App and additional information. 1. With the AV760 powered on, press and hold the “SYNC” button for a few seconds, until the Bluetooth symbol begins flashing on the AV760 screen. 2.
ION App The ION App™ enables remote viewing for appION™ Wireless Digital Gauges. Reaching a Desired Measurement: In the ALARM subview, set the Low Alarm to the desired micron level. Select OK-Save. Blank Off Leak Test: Isolate the system from the vacuum pump and the evacuation connections. In the ALARM subview, set the High Alarm to the maximum desired micron level (eg. 500 microns). Select OK-Save.
Maintenance The AV760 is a precision instrument and must be maintained to ensure proper functions. If the AV760 sensors get dirty and no longer read correctly, the Sensor Housing can be removed to enable easy cleaning of the sensors. 1. Remove the fitting, o-ring, and the oil catch filter from the sensor housing. WARNING: Do NOT remove the protective screen covering the sensor. 2. Apply Isopropyl Alcohol (70% or higher) to the sensor ports and flush the sensor ports for 5 minutes (page 9).
Tip: Use every precaution to check the oil catch filter periodically to ensure there is no oil buildup and to prevent gross leaks. 6. Replace the fitting onto the sensor housing port and hand-tighten. Never tool-tighten a knurled fitting. 7. Connect the AV760 to a vacuum pump, and run the pump until display reads 100 microns or less. ⚠ NOTICE Do not insert any objects into the sensor ports. Doing so may permanently damage the sensors. 9 AV760 OPERATION MANUAL © 2014 APPION INC.
