SAFETY WARNINGS
It is extremely important to follow the instructions in this manual. DO NOT attach any hoses or accessories until
prompted by the unit. Improper setup
and failure of the unit will result.
Always wear eye protection and protective clothing when working with refrigerants. Refrigerant can cause injury.
Read and follow all warnings in the
operators manual and this service
manual before operating the unit.
Disconnect hoses and tubes with extreme caution as they may contain liquid refrigerant under pressure.
Always disconnect the unit from the
power source before making any repairs or replacements to the components. Risk of electrical shock!
Avoid the use of extension cords because the extension cord may overheat.
However, if you must use an extension
cord, the cord must be No. 14 AWG
minimum and should not exceed more
than 25 feet in length.
Always depressurize the machine before servicing or replacing any components.
Pressurized tanks contain liquid refrigerant. Overfilling of the tank may cause
violent explosion and possible injury or
death. Do not recover refrigerants into
a non-refillable storage container. Federal regulations require refrigerants to
be transported only in containers meeting DOT spec. 4BW or DOT spec. 4BA.
Be sure that the refrigerant level in the
tank does not exceed 80% of the tank
volume. Failure to monitor the level
could result in excessive hydrostatic
pressure, causing physical injury or
death.
If scale assembly and UL circuit are not
calibrated, scale can overfill the tank,
causing possible explosion and/or vehicle overcharge.

General Information
AC375 FEATURES
The AC375 recovers, recycles, and recharges vehicle refrigerant, quickly and accurately in one simple hookup. It is compatible with existing service equipment and standard service procedures.
The AC375 is configurable to recover, recycle, and recharge either R-134a or R-12 refrigerant. Once configured to R12 or R134a, the unit should be used only with that refrigerant.
Features of the AC375
Oil Drain The display reminds you to drain the
system oil captured during recovery. Graduations
on the container clearly show you how much oil
needs to be replaced.
Oil Inject System prompts user to inject oil
before charge. O-ring on oil reservoir provides
visual reference on graduated container.
Electronic Scale The scale is mounted internally
for protection, and has a dampening mechanism
that protects against impact shocks, such as movement over rough surfaces. The scale weighs recovered refrigerant and charges by weight for
greatest accuracy. NOTE: At idle, the display reflects amount of refrigerant that can be recovered.
Internal Storage Vessel Refrigerant is recovered into and charged out of this vessel, which is
permanently mounted to the electronic scale for
continuing reliability.
Additional Features
High and low side gauges are mounted at an angle
thats easy to read.
Ergonomic Design that makes the cabinet easy to
maneuver.
Robinair Cool Tech vacuum pump for fast, thorough pull-down.
Heavy-duty compressor pulls from both high and
low sides during recovery (when both manifold
valves are open).
Refrigerant recycling meets or exceeds SAE J2210.
Select pounds or kilograms through the menu.
Internal Manifold Block manifold contains solenoids that control refrigerant flow, reducing the
possibility of leaking connections.
Maintenance Prompts System prompts user to
change vacuum pump oil (10 hours) and filter-drier
(150 lbs) when needed.

General Information
Depressurization Procedure
1. Disconnect the high and low side service hoses
from vehicle (or low side hose from source tank)
and make sure the coupler valves are closed.
2. On the control panel, open both high and low side
panel valves.
10. Turn OFF the auxiliary recovery unit and disconnect it from the service hose.
11. Disconnect the test cord and reconnect the wires
to the solenoid.
12. Carefully remove the three hoses from the ISV,
as there may be refrigerant present at these fittings.

FUNCTIONAL CHECK
1. Remove unit shrouds.
2. Remove all weight from the scale assembly.
3. Plug the unit into a proper voltage outlet and turn
it on.
13. Remove the oil injection bottle and plug the tube
with your finger.
14. Push the oil injection button. Suction should develop at the oil injector pickup tube.
7. Place the internal storage vessel on the scale. Attach all tank hoses. Be sure the tank contains a
minimum of 10-lbs (14 kgs.) of refrigerant.
8. Select RECOVER. The compressor, fan, and
recovery solenoid should all receive power.
9. The pressure on the manifold gauge should be
pulled down to 13 in Hg (0.896 bar) within two
minutes, then turn the unit off. Pressure on the
control panel pressure gauge should not rise.
10. Select VACUUM. The vacuum pump and
vacuum solenoid should all receive power.

3. Verify that all circuit board harnesses are properly connected. A harness may be connected to
the appropriate connector, but off by one pin.
4. Check the 2-amp fuse (F1) on the circuit board.
If fuse has blown, replace fuse and recheck.
5. If the unit fails to power-up after replacing the main
circuit board; or the 2-amp fuse (F1) blows again,
the cause may be related to a malfunctioning component connected to the board. To isolate the
problem,
Turn off unit and unplug connector P3 from the
circuit board. Turn unit on. If the unit turns
on, check all components connected to P3 (all
solenoids, vacuum relay and vacuum pump,
compressor relay and compressor.)
If the unit still doesnt come on when connector P3 is disconnected, check the following
components for shorts: fan, compressor relay,
pump relay, and wiring.

1. Verify that the total weight on the scale assembly is not exceeding 43 lbs/19.5kg. If it is, reduce the amount of refrigerant in the ISV.
2. Check wiring from the scale assembly to the
control board (P4) for configuration and continuity.
3. Calibrate the scale.

present, check the wiring between the compressor relay and the circuit board (P3, pins 9 & 10)
for continuity. If the wires have continuity, replace
the circuit board.
4. If the compressor relay is energized (receiving
230 volts), check for voltage across terminals
3 & 4 with a volt meter. If there is poor or no
voltage, replace the compressor relay.
Compressor Relay
The fittings used on these compressors require an o-ring fitting to seal. Use a 120063
hose (1/4 flare o-ring X 1/2 ACME Q.S.)
with an R-134a manifold set.
5. Start the compressor and monitor the readings.
The discharge pressure should build to 250 psi
(17.24 bar). The compressor should pull a 25
(.85 bar) vacuum.

6. Shut off the compressor. The suction and discharge values should hold for 30 seconds to one
minute. If not, proceed to step-7, then repeat test.
If no improvement, replace the compressor.

AUTHOR: S. Parde
New procedures are now required before replacing the entire Cool Tech pump assembly. It must first be
determined if either the motor side or pump side has malfunctioned. To do this, the motor must be separated
from the pump by removing the four (4) motor attachment screws used to secure the motor to the pump.
When the two sections are separated, the motor coupler and pump coupler will
disengage each other. Make certain not to lose the rubber bushing between
these two couplers. Grasp hold of the motor coupler with your hand
and try to turn the motor coupling clockwise several turns. If the motor
coupling turns clockwise, then try to turn the motor coupling counterclockwise. If the motor turns freely both ways, plug the motor into
an outlet (115V) and verify the motor is functional. If the motor is
functional, it can be assumed that the pump side has seized. If the
motor coupling does not turn, or the motor does not run when power
is applied, the motor is bad. Note on the warranty call text whether
the motor was locked or the pump was locked. Replace the pump and
complete the warranty claim form according to standard procedures.
