The 17800B is a complete A/C-R service center. It recovers, recycles and recharges a
wide range of refrigerants — from existing refrigerants to new substitutes and blends.
With its multi-refrigerant capabilities, it
is ideal for trucks, buses and refrigerated trailers, as well as in-plant maintenance and
other accessible installations.
The built-in manifold means the entire service procedure can be done with just one
hook-up. A microprocessor controls the unit’s functions; evacuation time and the amount
of refrigerant to be recharged can be programmed at the beginning of the job. Prompts
lead you through programming and alert you when the filter and vacuum pump oil need to
be changed.
This unit is UL-listed and meets the SAE specifications for recycled refrigerant. It is also
designed to be compatible with existing service equipment and standard service proce-
dures.
This unit is simple to operate and has many user-friendly features:
• a built-in 6 cfm vacuum pump for quick, yet thorough evacuation,
• a plastic enclosure for safe and easy manuevering around vehicles without the worry
of scratches.
• an electronic scale that weighs recovered refrigerant and recharges by weight for
greatest accuracy,
• a pressure/temperature chart mounted directly above the
gauges — with just a quick glance you can tell the temperatures
in the system,
• large diameter wheels that make it easy to move the unit,
IMPORTANT! To validate your warranty, complete the warranty card attached to
your unit and return it within ten days from date of purchase.
