Tracer TP-9812 Mini-Ez Dye Cartridge Hybrid M-L AM12004 - Handbuch

Mini-EZ™ Dye Cartridge Injection Kit
for Hybrid Vehicles
Mini-EZ™ POE dye cartridges meet or exceed SAE standard J2297 for the
stability and compatibility of UV-fluorescent dyes for refrigerant leak detection
in hybrid A/C systems.
CAUTION
Since the use of a fluorescent leak detection dye requires the addition
of a chemical substance into the A/C system, which may or may not be
compatible with the system, such dyes should not be used unless they are
either expressly endorsed by the A/C system and/or vehicle manufacturer
or meet the requirements of SAE J2297.
DYE INJECTION CAUTIONS
• Do not operate the A/C system while the EZ-Ject™ dye injector is
being connected or used.
• Do not connect the EZ-Ject dye injector to a system that is evacuated.
• The system must contain enough refrigerant to operate the
compressor and circulate the dye in order to find leaks.
• Wear protective glasses or goggles while using the EZ-Ject dye
injector and working on any vehicle system.
IMPORTANT
The Mini-EZ dye cartridges contain dye that fluoresces under ultraviolet or
blue light when mixed with A/C lubricant. For best inspection results, use
a high-intensity Tracerline
® leak detection lamp and wear fluorescence-
enhancing glasses to protect your eyes and to make leaks clearly visible.
The EZ-Ject hybrid coupler must be purged and fully charged with
dye before it is used.
1. Completely unscrew the handle on the injector and screw the dye
cartridge into it.
2. Holding the cartridge vertically with the small cap on top, remove the
cap and screw the cartridge firmly to the hybrid coupler.
3. Insert the adapter/purge fitting into the hybrid coupler.
4. Turn the handle to advance the plunger until a small amount of dye
exits the assembly. Remove the adapter/purge fitting. The hybrid
coupler is now purged, ready for use and will remain full of dye.
NOTE: If the dye charge is lost, repeat steps 3 and 4.
5. Connect the hybrid coupler to the appropriate service port on the vehicle.
6. Turn the plunger clockwise to inject the dye. See "Dye Dose" below.
7. Disconnect the hybrid coupler from the service port and wipe
both clean.
8. Start the engine and run the A/C system on maximum for 5 to 10
minutes to circulate the dye.
9. Turn the engine OFF. Inspect possible leak areas with the lamp. Leaks
will glow a bright yellow-green. The fluorescence will be brightest under
low light conditions.
10. To find smaller leaks, operate the A/C system over the next 24 to 48
hours and reinspect.
DYE DOSE
Use one 0.25 oz (7.4 ml) Mini-EZ dye cartridge for one vehicle.
Do not mix dyes. Always use the dye cartridge with its designated
hybrid
coupler. The hybrid coupler can be stored containing dye.
• Use TP-9811-0301 Mini-EZ dye cartridges for hybrid systems
• TP-9811-0301 Mini-EZ dye cartridges are compatible with all refrigerants
and lubricants
CLEANUP/REINSPECTION
After the leaks are repaired, clean the remaining dye from the leak sites
with a cloth and a shop cleaner. Check with the lamp to make sure that all
dye residue is removed. Residual dye could give a false leak indication.
Run the A/C system for another 5 to 10 minutes and reinspect with the
lamp. No glow means that all leaks have been repaired.
DYE CAUTIONS
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Wipe all dye spills immediately. May damage paints and finishes.
May stain hands and clothing.
• Store in a cool place away from sunlight.
