5.2 Seleksje fan ienheid

To change pressure or temperature units:

• Druk op de Ienheid knop (9) to cycle through available pressure units (e.g., Kpa, Psi, Bar).
• Druk op de Knop ° 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.

• Brûk de R+/R- Refrigerant Type Selection Buttons (7) to scroll through the available refrigerant types.
• Befêstigje jo seleksje.

5.4 Druk Meting

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 Temperatuermjitting

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.
