5.2 Għażla ta' Unità

To change pressure or temperature units:

  • Agħfas il- Buttuna tal-Unità (9) to cycle through available pressure units (e.g., Kpa, Psi, Bar).
  • Agħfas il- Buttuna ° C / ° F (10) to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature displays.

5.3 Refrigerant Type Setting

The device has a built-in database of 89 refrigerants. Select the correct refrigerant type for accurate calculations.

  • Uża l- Buttuni tal-Għażla tat-Tip ta' Refriġerant R+/R- (7) to scroll through the available refrigerant types.
  • Ikkonferma l-għażla tiegħek.

5.4 Kejl tal-Pressjoni

The LM120 measures both high and low pressures simultaneously.

  • Ensure hoses are correctly connected to the high and low-pressure ports of the system.
  • The display will show the current high and low pressure readings.

5.5 Kejl tat-Temperatura

With optional clamp-on temperature probes, the device can measure dual temperatures.

  • Attach the temperature probes to the desired measurement points (e.g., suction line, liquid line).
  • The display will show T1 and T2 temperature readings.

5.6 Evaporation Pressure & Temperature Test

This function measures the maximum pressure when the refrigerant changes from liquid to gas and the lowest temperature when the liquid becomes gaseous.
