For Your Safety:

PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL IN ITS ENTIRETY

BEFORE

ATTEMPTING
INSTALLATION OR OPERATION! Attempting to operate the T-Line Mini ID
without fully understanding its features and functions may result in unsafe
conditions.

Identifier Warnings

• SAMPLE FILTER WARNING: The Mini ID contains a unique filter designed to

significantly reduce the probability of oil contamination. Replace the brass oil filter of
the instrument AS SOON AS OIL IS DETECTED IN THE SAMPLE HOSE. Failure to
properly maintain and replace the oil filter may result in severe damage.

• SAMPLE INPUT WARNING: The instrument requires connection of the supplied

sample hose to the LOW SIDE OR VAPOR port of refrigerant storage cylinders or
vehicle air conditioning systems. DO NOT attempt to introduce liquid or samples heavily
laden with oil into the instrument. DO NOT connect the sample hose to the HIGH SIDE
or LIQUID port! Liquid or oil laden samples may cause severe damage to the instrument
that will not be covered under warranty repairs.

General Cautions

• ALWAYS wear eye and skin protection when working with refrigerants. Escaping

refrigerant vapors will present a freezing danger.

• ALWAYS turn the compressor OFF before connecting the instrument to an air

conditioning system.

• ALWAYS inspect the sample hose before each use. Replace the hose if it appears

cracked, frayed, obstructed or fouled with oil.

• DO NOT direct refrigerant vapors venting from hoses towards the skin.

• CAUTION – Do not pressure test or leak test HFC-134a service equipment and/or

vehicle air conditioning systems with compressed air. Some mix-tures of air and HFC­134a have been shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if
ignited, may cause injury or property damage. Additional health and safety information
may be obtained from refrigerant manufacturers.

• DO NOT disassemble the instrument. There are no serviceable components internal to

the instrument and disassembly will void the warranty.

• ALWAYS place the Analyzer on a flat and sturdy surface.

• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble the instrument; do not use the

instrument in wet or damp areas.

•

AVOID breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose
and throat. To remove HFC-134a from the A/C system, use service equipment certified to meet
the requirements of SAE J2788. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from
refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.

• DO NOT utilize any hose assembly other than those supplied with the instrument. The

use of other hose types will introduce errors into the refrigerant analysis and instrument
calibration.

• ALWAYS verify that the refrigerant which is tested from the Low Side does not contain

or will not emit heavy loads of oil or liquid.

• CAUTION – Should be operated by certified personnel.

• NEVER admit any sample into the instrument at pressures in excess of 300 psig.

• NEVER obstruct the air intake, sample exhaust or case ventilation ports of the

instrument during use.

• WARNING – This Identifier must not be operated in flammable atmospheres.
