YLINDER SAFETY
An optional 80% recovery cylinder shutoff cord is available with the Model 3600-R410A. If
equipped, this cord connects to the recovery cylinder float switch and will automatically shut
the Model 3600-R410A off when the recovery cylinder becomes 80% full.
When the Model 3600-R410A is equipped with the 80% shutoff cord, Bacharach Test
Systems recommends that you use this cord for added safety. If the Model 3600-R410A is
not equipped with an 80% shutoff cord, or, if you are using a recovery cylinder that does
not have a float switch, then you must use a scale and the guidelines below to prevent
overfilling of the cylinder. NOTE: THE SHORTING CAP MUST BE USED IN ORDER TO OPERATE THE
MODEL 3600-R410A WITHOUT THE 80% SHUTOFF CORD ATTACHED TO THE RECOVERY CYLINDER.
Bacharach Test Systems uses and recommends the Air Conditioning & Refrigeration
Institute's (ARI) guideline K for the safe filling and handling of used refrigerant. This
Publication is available from ARI.
WARNING: You must use a DOT recovery cylinder approved for use with R-410A
refrigerant. This recovery system is equipped with a high-pressure shutoff switch
set to turn the unit off at 550 psi. Using any other cylinder may cause the pressure
in the recovery cylinder to exceed the cylinder’s pressure rating.
The following information provides the safe fill weights for used refrigerant based on the
size of the container and is in accordance with Guideline K:
