1INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
1.1 General
Contamination and mislabelling of refrigerants either in storage cylinders or air conditioning systems can
lead to component corrosion, elevated head pressures and system failures when utilized by unsuspecting
technicians. The ability of the technician to determine refrigerant type and purity is severely hampered
by the presence of air when attempting to utilize temperature-pressure relations. The development of
various substitute refrigerants further complicates the ability of a technician to identify refrigerant purity
based upon temperature-pressure relationships. The substitute refrigerant blends can also introduce a
flammability hazard to the technician and the ultimate end user of the air conditioning system.
The Neutronics Ultima ID Pro Refrigerant Analyzer provides a fast, easy and accurate means to determine
refrigerant purity in refrigerant storage cylinders or directly in air conditioning systems. The instrument
utilizes non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology to determine the weight concentrations multiple of
refrigerant types. Refrigerant purity is displayed on the LCD Screen. The user must determine acceptable
levels of purity based on their recovery or use standards.
The instrument is supplied complete with a ¼” Flare Vapor sampling hose, a ¼” Flare Liquid sampling
assembly, a 100/240 VAC power transformer, built in printer, and all required plumbing housed within a
rugged, portable, storage case.
Sample gas is admitted into the instrument through one of the two supplied sampling hoses and
presented to the sensing device. The instrument provides the user with direct percent by weight
concentrations. Note that the instrument does not consider air to be a contaminant.
The instrument interfaces with the user with an LCD graphic display, status indicator lamps, push button
communication switches and an alarm horn. Alarm indications are provided to alert of instrument fault
conditions. Direct percent by weight concentrations of the sample refrigerant is provided on the display
as well as user directions and prompts. An on-board printer is provided to print an on-the-spot analysis
report.
The Neutronics Ultima ID Pro Refrigerant Analyzer provides the refrigerant technician with excellent
knowledge of refrigerant type and purity as well as protection against refrigerant contamination and
potential flammability.

3.2 Changing the White Plastic Sample Filter
When inspecting the sample filter, look completely around the entire outside diameter of the white
filter element located inside of the clear plastic housing. Look for red spots or the beginnings of
discoloration on the white outside diameter of the element. Do not look into the round ends of the
white element for red spots or discoloration. The round ends of the filter may always appear red. If
red spots or discolorations are discovered on the outside diameter, the sample filter requires
replacement to prevent the influx of particulate and oil mists into the instrument.
Obtain a replacement filter, part number 6-02-6000-08-0. Remove the existing filter from the
retaining clip of the instrument by pulling straight up and out. CAREFULLY remove the flexible,
black rubber tubing connections from both ends of the existing filter. DO NOT allow the tubes to
slip back into the internal portion of the case. Discard the existing filter in an environmentally
friendly manner.
Install the tube ends onto the barbs of the replacement filter, taking note to align the flow arrow of
the filter with the flow arrow of the instrument top panel. CAREFULLY slide the tubing back into
the internal portion of the instrument and seat the new filter into the retaining clip. Inspect the
sample hoses for signs of oil entrapment. Replacement of the sample filter usually requires
cleaning or replacement of the sample hoses.

3.3 Replacing the Sample Hose
Inspect the inside diameter of the tube for signs of oil build up, dirt, obstructions, kinks, cuts,
fraying, or any other signs of wear. Oil contamination cannot be cleaned out of sample hoses due
to the density of the oil restrictor. If oil is visible in the Low Pressure Vapor hose, replace the hose
and restrictor with P/N 6-01-6001-23-1.
For the High Side Liquid Sampling Hose, inspect the inside diameter of the tube for signs of oil build
up, dirt, obstructions, kinks, cuts, fraying, or any other signs of wear. Oil contamination cannot be
cleaned out of sample hoses due to the density of the oil restrictor. If oil is visible in the High
Pressure Liquid Trap Hose, replace the hose and restrictor with P/N 6-02-6001-23-1.
To replace the Restrictor Assembly, follow the instructions below:
1) Disconnect the sample hose from the Identifier
2) Remove the brass filter (with hose attached) from the coupler and discard. Be sure to use a
backing wrench so as not to damage the coupler.
3) Check for signs of oil and debris in the coupler.
4)
Using “CRC Brakleen” or similar cleaner which ONLY contains, Tetrachloroethylene and
carbon dioxide, follow safety instructions on the can and spray all parts of the coupler with
the cleaner to remove the oil. DO NOT soak the parts for more than 60 seconds.
5) Allow coupler parts to dry. Check coupler parts for oil once again. Failure to clean the oil
out of the coupler will result in premature clogging of the new filter.
6) Install the new filter, part number 6-01-6001-23-1, into the coupler and lightly tighten,
usually finger tight is sufficient.
3.4 Changing the Printer Paper
Ultima ID Pro Refrigerant Analyzers that are equipped with on-board printers use an inexpensive
thermal paper for printing. The paper roll should be changed when a red stripe appears on the left
side of the printout.

3.5 Software Updates
From time to time, software updates may be made available to improve operating performance or
add additional features. Some updates will be provided at no charge to implement operating
efficiencies while others will be optional, paid upgrades, to add new refrigerants etc. Many of the
updates can be completed by the user however some will require the instrument to be returned to
the factory for new gas calibrations.
The Ultima ID Pro has a USB update port located within the battery compartment. This port
should not be used for any other purpose other than to install factory updates using the Neutronics
factory USB drive.
3.6 Error Messages
In the unlikely event that an “Error” message is displayed on the screen, power off the unit, take it
to a location outside of the shop environment where fresh air is available and turn the unit back
on. If the “Error” message reappears, refer to the help screens on the instrument or contact our
service department for assistance.
