FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Auto Sequence: Press <AUTO SEQUENCE>to begin an automatic sequence: Recovery, Evacuate, Vacuum
Hold, Oil Charge and Refrigerant Recharge. The unit can automatically recall entries from the last AUTO
SEQUENCE operation by pressing and holding the<AUTO SEQUENCE>for five seconds.
Reclaim Only: Press <RECLAIM ONLY>to recover refrigerant from the air conditioning system. Refrigerant
gas enters the MRC-400's suction separator through two service hoses. The unit traps oil and solid contaminants
at the bottom of the separator bowl. The pump pulls refrigerant gas from the top of the bowl. Then the
compressor compresses the refrigerant to a high-pressure gas.
Next, the high-pressure refrigerant gas enters the condenser. Two continuously running fans blow air across the
condenser. The air removes heat and condenses the high-pressure gas into a high-pressure refrigerant liquid.
The liquid flows out of the Condenser and through the Master Filter/Drier. The unit collects the refrigerant in the
recovery tank. When the unit finishes reclaiming, the operator panel is green, COMPLETED LED lights. Unit can
display the amount of refrigerant recovered that was added to the scale by pressing the<AMOUNT>.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION continue...
Vacuum: After you open a vehicle air conditioning system, you cannot immediately recharge it. First, you must
evacuate the system (pull it into a deep vacuum). The Air Conditioning system contains moisture. Pulling the
system into a deep vacuum removes this moisture. Evacuating the system also removes the non-condensable
gases remaining in the system. Only use the vacuum function when system pressure is "O". In the vacuum
function, non-condensable gas enters the suction separator through both service hoses. The gas proceeds down
to the compressor, and out the pressure side. Then the unit expels non-condensable gas into the purge bottle.
Charge: The MRC-400/450, uses an electronic scale to measure refrigerant and oil charge. The scale is
accurate to within 1/10th of an ounce. A heating blanket warms the virgin refrigerant in a 15/30/50 lb. cylinder
increasing the pressure and speeding up a charge. Charging proceeds at about one pound per minute. The oil
cylinder has a capacity of 20 ounces. (20 ounces of oil + 10 ounces of refrigerant) The recovery tank and oil
cylinder do not have heater blankets. Charging occurs when the computer board opens the reclaim solenoid.
With refrigerant in the recovery tank, the open solenoid allows flow to service hoses. The unit charges until
pressures equalize between the vehicle and the recovery tank. If the unit has not completely filled the system, the
unit displays "slow charge." Then the unit switches over to virgin refrigerant and continues to charge. Charging
stops when the scale weight loss equals the amount keyed in by the technician.
ELECTRONIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
!
DANGEROUS HIGH VOLTAGES
ARE PRESENT IN THIS EQUIPMENT
When working on this tester, keep three points in mind:
• Tester voltages refer to the "return" (white) side of the AC line. Yet sometimes outlet wiring is reversed. In
that case, electronic ground connects to the "hot" side of the line. The tester operates normally, but the PC
board floats 115 VAC above safety ground.
• Assume that points inside the tester chassis are at 115 VAC. Act appropriately. If you make measurements
with grounded test equipment, use an isolation transformer. An oscilloscope is an example of such test
equipment.
• MRC-400 testers are susceptible to power line spikes and noise. You must connect the equipment to safety
ground, otherwise, the MRC-400's surge suppressors can not clip power line spikes properly. Does your
machine do "strange things" or exhibit intermittent problems? Check for a proper ground at the machine and
the power outlet. If you are using an extension cord, then check that, too. It must be constructed of at least
18 gauge wire and under 10 feet long.
• Schematic voltages refer to the "return" side of the line, not safety ground. When measuring voltage, use the
white wire on the line power terminal block as ground. Don't use the three, center safety ground terminals.
Another place you can access ground is at the shield. The black wire in the shielded transducer cables also
connects to the ground return.

REFRIGERANT SAFETY WARNINGS
!
USE STANDARD REFRIGERANT HANDLING
SAFETY PROCEDURES WHEN PERFORMING INSTALLATION
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES, DON'T SPILL OR TOUCH

LIQUID REFRIGERANT, AVOID FLAMES, AND EXCESSIVE HEAT.
USE ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AREA.
When handling R-12 refrigerant, you must follow proper precautions. R-12 is extremely evaporative. Exposure to
liquid R-12 can result in frostbite. Always use appropriate safety precautions while testing, operating, servicing or
transferring R-12.
• WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES. When servicing or operating the tester, always wear safety goggles (0001-
5005).
• DON'T SPILL OR TOUCH LIQUID R-12.If your skin contacts liquid R-12, you can develop frostbite.
Evaporating R-12 removes latent heat from whatever it contacts. Open all fittings slowly to release pressure.
Operate testing and service valves according to applicable instructions. If someone's skin comes into contact
with liquid refrigerant, treat the skin for frostbite.
• AVOID FLAMES. Under normal conditions, R-12 is non-toxic. Yet an open flame reacts with R-12, producing
phosgene gas. This is a well-known fumigant and highly toxic poison. NO SMOKING! A cigarette becomes
hot enough to cause this reaction.
• AVOID EXCESSIVE HEAT. Within a refrigerant container, pressure rises with heat. Store containers
upright, out of the sun and away from heat vents.
• VENTILATION. Adequate ventilation is essential for several reasons. The R-12 gas displaces air. Large
quantities of R-12 in a confined space can cause suffocation. Also, when R-12 levels in the air are high, leak
detection is difficult. Keep the MRC-400 unit in a well-ventilated area.
SERVICE GUIDELINES
• BEFORE REPLACINGcircuit boards, verify that the main power supply operates within specifications.
• VERIFY that board connectors are fully seated.
• NEVER remove boards or disconnect a connector with the power on!
• MAKE SURE that you completely understand what the tester does.(If it works, you can't fix it!) Refer to the
MRC-400/450 Operator's Manual, application notes, and flow diagrams.
• CONSULT the Service Bulletin Binder. It may identify and explain how to correct the problem.
• BE CAREFUL when handling circuit boards! Wear an anti-static wrist strap.
• WHEN TRANSPORTINGcircuit boards, use anti-static bags.

INTRODUCTION (A)
HANDLING MOS IC'S AND THEIR STATIC SENSITIVE DEVICES

Most integrated circuits are high impedance devices. This characteristic makes them susceptible to damage by
electrostatic charges. Large electrostatic charges tend to build up in low humidity environments. If you provide a
discharge path through the IC, you may damage the IC.
To prevent needless failures, employ these techniques when handling static-sensitive devices:
• Until circuit boards are ready for use, keep them in their static-protective packaging.
• Never remove or insert boards when the machine is under power.
• The correct board removal procedure is as follows:
− When you're repairing equipment, it must be grounded.
− Wear your anti-static wrist strap. Connect it to the equipment chassis or nearest available
ground. (Field Service Kits include a wrist strap and grounding cord (0552-0032-01).
− Neutralize static voltage differences! Touch the chassis, or any metal part of the equipment.
− Always grasp the board from two opposite edges with your forefingers.
− Place removed boards on a grounded static-dissipative mat (part of the field service kit).
• When inserting boards into the equipment:
− Remove the board from the original packaging on static dissipative material. If you must ship a
defective board, save packaging material for reuse.
− Be sure to remove power from the tester. When installing the replacement board, following
above steps.
− Pack defective boards in a shielded bag. Return the bag in the reusable container.
• Packing IC chips, or other static-sensitive devices: Use conductive foam or an equivalent, anti-static
material with adequate physical protection.
• Avoid unnecessary contact with internal components.
• Avoid setting boards on static-prone insulating surfaces such as paper, glass, rubber or plastic.
• Beware of static generated by friction when...
− Wearing silk or nylon garments.
− Walking on carpets.
− Scuffing shoes with rubber soles.
NOTICE
Relative humidity has a direct effect on static charge buildup. As humidity decreases, static buildup usually
increases.

CHAPTER 1
AC/DC POWER DISTRIBUTION
AC/DC THEORY OF OPERATION
!
Always use the "One Hand Rule" when working with AC voltages by keeping one hand in your pocket or behind
your back. Before removing wires from the MRC-400/450, always verify that the Tester is "OFF". Turn off the
Main Power Switch on the front panel and unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet.
AC DISTRIBUTION
The primary voltage applies 110V, 60Hz AC to the MRC-400/450 via the hot side (Black Wire) of the AC power
cable. The Main Power routes to one side of the "ON/OFF" Front Panel Power Switch/Circuit Breaker (15A).
The hot wire continues to one side of the Line Filter. The common side routes to the other side of the Line Filter.
The earth ground directly connects to the MRC-400/450 chassis.
With the unit connected to an AC source, AC is supplied to the ON/OFF Switch. With the Main Power Switch
"ON", 110VAC routes to the following:
Line Filter (HOT/COMMON) Terminal Block (HOT/COMMON)

Transformer (HOT/COMMON) Relay Board (HOT)
Once <POWER> is pressed on the front panel, 110VAC is routed to the following:
Fans, Condenser (HOT) Heater Blanket (HOT) Circuit Boards
COMPRESSOR OPERATION
In the Recovery/Vacuum Mode, the Pump pulls a vacuum and evacuates refrigerant from the vehicle. The
Plumbing Board activates Relay (K1) on the Relay Board that supplies 110VAC to the Thermal Overload Breaker
(Klixon-Normally Closed). The AC is then routed to both windings (TOP PIN C), on the compressor. AC is then
routed through the start and motor windings to pin 3 and pin 5 (Compressor Relay K1 coil). AC neutral line is
connected to terminal "1" on K1 coil and to one side of the internal contact. Once the compressor builds up
enough current, K1 coil will energize and close the contacts from pin 1 to pin 2. The suppression cap assembly is
connected to terminal "1" and "2" to suppress noise on start up. The start capacitor produces a phase shift
allowing the compressor to start. Once the compressor gets up to speed, the current through the motor windings
will decrease and disengage K1. Once K1 is disengaged, the contacts will open and the AC neutral line will be
removed from the start winding.
TRANSFORMER OPERATION
The transformer converts 110 volts AC down to 24 volts, 15 volts, and 5 volts AC. These AC lines are protected
with three fuses. All three AC voltages are supplying power to the Processor Board at J4 pins 1 & 2, 3 & 4, 5 &
6. With the Main Power switch in the ON position, the Processor Board has power.
RELAY BOARD
A.C. voltage from the Main Power switch is applied directly to one side of the contacts on relay K1 and K2,
located on the Relay Board. When the relays are energized, AC voltage is routed to the compressor through K1
and to the condenser fans and heater blanket through K2.
Effective
2/97 Page 1-1
CHAPTER1 AC/DC POWER DISTRIBUTION (A)
DC DISTRIBUTION
PROCESSOR BOARD
The Processor Board has three bridge rectifiers and one 5 volt regulator. D1 bridge rectifier converts 5 volts to
12VDC and supplies voltage to the 5 volt regulator. The 5 volts is used for the standard components and IC’s for
power. D2 bridge rectifier converts 15VAC to 15VDC and supplies voltage to the 15 volt regulator located on the
Plumbing Board via J7 pin 1 to J1 pin 1. D3 bridge rectifier converts 24VAC to 24VDC and supplies voltage to
the audible Alarm. The 24VDC supplies voltage to K1 and K2 on the Relay Board, Smart Drivers with Self Test
for Solenoids on the Plumbing Board.
PLUMBING BOARD
The Plumbing Board has a 15VDC regulator, that is used to power the Ambient Temperature Sensor (built in the
board), Load Cell (Scale), and external Temperature Probe (temperature of A/C system in car). The 15VDC
regulator is powered by the unregulated 15VDC from D2 bridge rectifier located on the Processor Board. The
5VDC supplies voltage to the Transducers, and switches monitored by a pull up resistor on each line.
LCD BOARD
The LCD Board is powered by +5 VDC from the 5 volt regulator on the Processor Board. The +5VDC is derived
from J2 pin 6 to J1 pin 6 on the LCD Board (left) and from J8 pin 6 to J1 pin 6 on the LCD Board (right).
LED Board.
The LED Board is powered by +5 VDC and +12 VDC supplied from the Processor Board. The +12 VDC is used
to power the LED’s.
RELAY BOARD
The Relay Board has two 24 volt relays on it, K1 and K2. The +24VDC is derived from J12 pin 2 on the
Plumbing Board. This 24 volts is supplied to both relay coils, through diodes. The output port I.C. located on the
Plumbing Board supplies a return path to complete the return side of K1 coil, so the relay is energized. When
energized, the switch contacts will be closed allowingA.C. voltage to power the Fans and Heater Blanket. When
the return side of K2 coil is completed, the relay is energized causing the switch contacts to be closed allowing
A.C. voltage to power the compressor.
SOLENOID OPERATION
The solenoids are powered by +24VDC from D3 bridge rectifier. The +24VDC is derived from J1 pin 4. K1
allows the SOL GND to pass through the normally closed High Pressure Switch to Q2 emitter. Q2 is turned on
with the +5VDC supply to connect the emitter to the collector side. The collector side is connected to the coil of
K1 to allow the relay to close the contacts, that allowsSOL GND to all solenoids.
LOAD CELL
The load cell is powered by +10 volt DC at J10 pin 2 & 7, supplied from the +15 volt circuit. The load cell is a
device that measures weight.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
The Ambient Temperature is powered by +15 volt DC. This sensor is built into the Plumbing board.
EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE PROBE

The Temperature Probe is powered by +15 volt DC through J9 pin 1. Temperature Probe is used to measure the
temperature in the vehicle.
Effective
Page 1-2 2/97
ALARM
The alarm is powered by the 24 volt DC voltage at J1 pin1. A beeper driver is used to sound the alarm when the
buttons are pressed, or if an error code is displayed.
HIGH/LOW/PURGE PRESSURE TRANSDUCER

The Pressure Transducers are powered by +5 volt DC through J11 pin 1, 6, & 11 on the Plumbing Board. These
transducers are used to monitor pressure and vacuum readings on the vehicle or the Recovery Tank.
NORMALLY OPEN SWITCHES

The switches are supplied power by +5 volt pull-up resistors on J2 pins 9, 7, 11, J3 pins 1, 5, & 7. Once a switch
is closed, the switch will have zero volts on both sides of the switch. When the switch re-opens then +5 volts will
be on one side of the switch and ground on the other.
RECOVERY TANK SWITCHES

The Recovery Tank has a float assembly inside of the tank to determine the level of refrigerant. The lower float is
normally open and has a 5 volt pull up resistor via J2 pin 5 to monitor the status of the float. The upper float is
normally closed and also has a 5 volt pull up resistor via J2 pin 1 to monitor the status of the float.
CHECK OUT PROCEDURE

There is not a calibration procedure for the Plumbing Board or the Display/Control Board. The only thing
available is a quick voltage check.
TRANSFORMER CHECK OUT PROCEDURE

1. Using a DVM in AC mode, connect both leads across J4 pins 1 and 2. Voltage reading should be≈5 to 8
volts AC.
2. Connect both leads across J4 pins 3 and 4. Voltage reading should be≈15 to 20 volts AC.
3. Connect both leads across J4 pins 7 and 8. Voltage reading should≈20 to 24 volts AC.
NOTE: If the above voltage readings are not correct, disconnect J4 from Processor Board and try again.
If voltages are still out of range, replace Transformer
.
PROCESSOR BOARD CHECK OUT PROCEDURE

1. Using a DVM in DC mode, connect the BLACK lead to ground on the board.
2. Connect the RED lead to J2 pin 6. Voltage reading should be≈5 volts ±0.05 volts.
3. Connect the RED lead to J5 pin 5. Voltage reading should be≈12 volts ±1 volt.
PLUMBING BOARD CHECK OUT PROCEDURE

1. Using a DVM in DC mode, connect the BLACK lead to ground on the board. (SP-3)
NOTE: IF THE VOLTAGES ARE NOT CORRECT REMOVE CONNECTORS FROM PCB & TRY AGAIN.

CHAPTER 2
THEORY OF OPERATION
OPERATING MODES FOR SERIAL "A"
POWER ON MODE
The Power On Mode is activated by turning on the Main Power switch located on back of the unit; one short
beep is sounded. Then press the front panel <POWER>, for 3 seconds; a beep is sounded. When the MRC-
400/450 is turned "ON", all segments on both displays will be ON. The software Rev. number will be displayed
for about 3 seconds. The Liquid and Crossover solenoids will be powered and closed (N.O. solenoids). K2 on the
Relay Board will also be energized, turning on the Fans and Heater.
The Heater Blanket is used to heat the virgin tank. Increasing the temperature of the tank raises the pressure in
the tank, thus providing a quicker charge rate. The nominal operating temperature for the blanket is 120°F ±10°.
A temperature regulator is built into the heater and is not intended to be serviced.

CHAPTER 2 THEORY OF OPERATION (A)
AUTO SEQUENCE MODE

In this Mode the MRC-400/450 will automatically recover the system, recycle the refrigerant , evacuate, check
the system for leaks, and recharge the system. The operator enters the Auto Sequence Mode by first
depressing <AUTO SEQUENCE>, at which time the "VACUUM TIME", "AUTO SEQUENCE" and the "HOLD"
lights will turn ON. The operator will then:
1. Press and hold the <VALUE ADJUST> until the specified "VACUUM TIME" is indicated on the right display.
2. Press the <HOLD/ENTER/RESTART> to enter that number.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for entering the "HOLD TIME" and the "CHARGE AMOUNT". To take the unit out of
the "HOLD" state, and activate the "AUTO SEQUENCE" test, press <HOLD/ENTER/RESTART>. For more
information, refer to the "AUTO SEQUENCE FLOW CHART" in appendix E of the Operator's Manual.
RECLAIM LOW, HIGH MODES

NOTE: Only in the discussion of the Reclaim Cycle will the purpose and operation of individual components be
discussed. It is recommended that in reading the following material, the Pneumatic and Functional Block
diagrams be used as a reference.
In the Reclaim Cycle, Vacuum, Condenser, Liquid, Purge and Suction Separator solenoids are OPEN, and the
Vacuum Pump, Fans and Heater will be ON. With High and Low pressure hoses connected to the vehicle being
serviced, the MRC-400/450 will attempt to recover refrigerant through both hoses. If the pressure in the high
pressure hose, which is being monitored by the High Pressure Transducer, exceeds 120 psi, then the Crossover
Solenoid will be CLOSED, RECLAIM HIGH mode. Crossover Solenoid is OPENED if the discharge pressure is
less than 110 psi. This is also controlled by temperature, below 60º Crossover Solenoid is CLOSED,
RECLAIM HIGH. The Pump runs until the suction and discharge pressure are both less than 4 inches of
vacuum (4 hg), if software is less then 2.08. 2.08 software and above, vacuum is pulled to 15 inches (15 hg).
The system then waits approx. 2 minutes (depending on ambient temperature) for a rise in pressure, in order to
boil off any residual refrigerant. If no rise in pressure occurs the system will beep twice and the Green
"COMPLETED" LED on the Control Panel will be lit.
The low and high pressure transducers monitor the pressures when connected to a vehicle. These transducers
output a voltage proportional to the amount of pressure being sensed. The suction side transducer outputs
.00025 (.25 millivolts) per psi and the discharge and purge transducers output .0001 ( .1 millivolt) per psi.
(EXAMPLE: LOW : 70PSI IS EQUAL TO .0175V. HIGH 70PSI IS EQUAL TO .007V.) Since most field
equipment cannot measure such low voltages, the amplified signal would have to be measured on the plumbing
board. (See page 3-2 Transducer Checkout Procedure)
As the recovered refrigerant flows through the low and high sides and into the Vacuum solenoid to the Suction
Separator, the Vacuum solenoid is being pulsed to control the amount of refrigerant going into the Suction
Separator bowl. This helps prevent frost/liquid build up in the Suction Separator bowl, and reduces the amount of
oil being discharged from the vehicle. Pulsing of the Vacuum solenoid will be activated when pressure in Suction
Separator bowl is above 20 psi (OFF) and below 10 psi. (ON).
NOTE: Pulsing of the Vacuum solenoid does not lengthen reclaim time.

The Desiccant bag in the Suction Separator is designed to be the first stage in removing moisture from the
refrigerant. As refrigerant enters the Suction Separator any Oil and solids separate and remain in the bowl.
The refrigerant vapor is then pulled from the Suction Separator bowl by the compressor, which pressurizes it as
it passes through the Oil Separator / Reservoir. Inside the Oil Separator / Reservoir, at the port marked "Inlet", is
a ten micron filter that sits at the top of the Reservoir (NOT INTENDED TO BE CHANGED). The recovered gas
passes through this filter before it exits. Oil in the refrigerant from the compressor will settle at the bottom of the
Oil Separator Reservoir.
The bottom half of the Oil Separator / Reservoir is filled with 13 ounces of oil. A ball float OPENS and CLOSES
a needle valve that controls the flow of oil from the Oil Separator / Reservoir to the Vacuum Pump. The
recovered refrigerant passes from the Oil Separator / Reservoir to the Condenser and Purge solenoids,
which are OPEN. The Purge solenoid is OPENED so the Purge Transducer can monitor pressure at this point.
If it exceeds calculated Purge pressure due to non-condensable (Air), it will cause the Zero solenoid to OPEN,
causing a Purge of these non-condensable from the system. Purge Pressure is based on Ambient Temperature.
(See Table on Page 2-6).
As the refrigerant vapor passes through the Condenser solenoid, the recovered gas flows through the
Condenser where it is cooled and converted to a liquid. The liquid then enters the Master Filter / Dryer.
This Filter / Dryer contains a internal 10 micron filter on the inlet and outlet with desiccant between the two filters.
This is the last step to remove any moisture or other impurities. The recycled refrigerant flows
through the Liquid solenoid to the Moisture Indicator. The Moisture Indicator, located on the bottom left hand
front corner of the machine, will indicate if there is any moisture in the recycled refrigerant. This is located in the
lower section due to water is heavier than refrigerant. Finally the recovered recycled refrigerant will empty into
the vapor side of the reclaim tank.

RECLAIM HOLD MODE

In Reclaim Hold, only the Purge solenoid is ON, allowing the Purge Transducer to maintain constant readings.
The Heater, Fans and Vacuum Pump are OFF. In this cycle the MRC-400/450 will hold a vacuum between 30
and 170 seconds, depending on ambient temperature. This is to determine if there may be residual refrigerant
still in the system. During this time, if suction or discharge pressure exceeds 2 psi, the Pump is
started. The unit enters reclaim until both the suction and discharge pressure are below 4 inches of vacuum (4
hg), if software is less then 2.08. 2.08 software and above, vacuum is pulled to 15 inches
(15 hg). Both displays will show continuous measurements for the high and low sides. At the end of this cycle
the unit will proceed to the next cycle.

OIL RETURN MODE

As the compressor functions, small amounts of oil is carried off with the compressed refrigerant. This oil is
collected in the Oil Separator. Every time the pump cycle ends the unit will energize (open) the Oil Return
solenoid for 5 seconds. This allows any oil to flow back to the Vacuum side of the pump. This operation will keep
the correct amount of oil in the pump for the most effective method of cooling and lubrication. At the beginning of
the Vacuum cycle this solenoid is open again for 5 seconds. Oil Separator does not require any oil. (Requires

PURGE MODE
The purpose of the Purge cycle is to remove non-condensables (Air) from the Recovery Tank. Purge can
activate at any time during the Recovery cycle. During the Recovery the Purge solenoid is open so the Purge
transducer can monitor the system pressure. At the start of a Purge Cycle there is a moment were the unit
compares the pressure in the recovery tank to the temperature sensor on the Plumbing board. The unit will then
prepare to Purge by CLOSING the Liquid solenoid and OPENING the Condenser solenoid. The Zero solenoid
OPEN’s, allowing the non-condensables to be released into the Purge Bottle for a short period of time. The Fans
and Heater are ON for the entire Purge cycle.

NO FIGURE SHOWN: After the Vacuum cycle, the MRC-400/450 will hold a vacuum for the time, up to 95
minutes, entered by the operator during programming setup. The Liquid and Crossover solenoids are CLOSED,
while the compressor is OFF. Also the Heater and Fans are ON for the entire cycle. During this time the left
display shows time remaining (in minutes) and the right display shows the continuous vacuum being held in the
vehicle. This continues until the entered time has expired, or the vacuum drops out of tolerance level which is 2
inches of mercury. If the vacuum drops below the tolerance level, a beeper will alert the technician and the
HOLD LED will turn ON. The vacuum loss indicates a leak in the vehicle or an incomplete reclaim (vacuum time
was not set long enough to boil all of the residual refrigerant out of the vehicle). The technician can cancel the
operation at this time and repair the system.
OIL CHARGE MODE

The Liquid solenoid is CLOSED, the Oil and Crossover solenoids are OPENED and oil from the Oil Bottle is
dispensed into the system until the scale voltage indicates the correct weight has been dispensed. The amount of
oil, entered into the unit by the operator, depends on the requirements of the vehicle being serviced. The
dispensed oil is measured in fluid ounces and is indicated on the LCD display on the right.
The LCD display to the left displays the word "OIL". Oil will always be dispensed before refrigerant; if no
refrigerant is programmed, oil will NOT be dispensed.

In this cycle the Liquid solenoid is CLOSED and the Reclaim and Crossover solenoids are OPEN. The Reclaim
solenoid is open until the scale indicates to the LCD display that the correct amount (entered by the operator) of
refrigerant is dispensed or until the Reclaimed Refrigerant Float Switch OPENS. When this happens unit will
automatically switch over to dispense remaining amount of Virgin refrigerant through S9. The Reclaim solenoid
will close and the Virgin solenoid will open until amount entered is charged.
The Crossover Solenoid is temperature and pressure controlled, it should be OPEN when:
The discharge pressure is less than 80psi and Ambient temperature is greater than 64 degrees
fahrenheit.
The Crossover Solenoid is CLOSED when:
The discharge pressure is greater than 90psi or Ambient temperature is less than 59 degrees

The Suction Separator cycle can be activated either by the Suction Separator Bowl filling with Oil or Refrigerant
to the point where the Suction Separator Float Switch is activated or by pressing the red switch
by the Suction Separator Bowl. In this cycle the Float switch in the Suction Separator Bowl will close and activate
when raised. When this occurs theMRC-400/450will beep three times, display "SUC SEP" and the
"HOLD" light on the front panel will be lit. The Suction Separator, Purge, Condenser, and Liquid solenoids
will OPEN . The Fans, Heater and Compressor will be ON at this time. After a 5 minute deep Reclaim, the
system will beep twice and the pressure on the Suction Separator Bowl will have been drawn to the Reclaim
Tank. The red switch near the Suction Separator Bowl will light.
With the Bowl removed and the Oil disposed of properly, the Suction Separator Float Switch can be reset by
lifting and holding the Float Switch UP until the unit beeps twice and the red light near the Suction Separator Bowl
will turn OFF. Releasing the float causes the unit to beep twice and turn the red light back on. With the Bowl
replaced, press <HOLD/ENTER/RESTART>to reset and restart the MRC-400/450. This will also turn OFF the
red light near the Suction Separator Bowl.
BACKGROUND RECLAIM MODE

This cycle is triggered by a rise in pressure in the Suction Separator Bowl. Suction Separator light flashes. Unit
enters Reclaim mode with Vacuum solenoid ON, until Bowl pressure dissipates. Requires no operator
intervention and could cause the operator to think this is an erratic operation

TRANSDUCER CHECKOUT PROCEDURE

TOOLS REQUIRED:DVM
Transducers output a voltage proportional to amount of pressure they sense. The suction side transducer outputs
.00025 (.25 millivolts) per psi and the discharge and purge transducers output .0001 ( .1millivolt) per psi. At
atmosphere, zero pressure, the transducers output voltage is .5 voltsD.C. This amplified voltage can be
measured at the cathode of diodes on the plumbing board. (Diodes are located in upper right corner of Plumbing
board when installed in unit) To confirm transducers are functioning properly follow procedure below to measure
.5 volts.
(PROCEDURE BELOW USES EXAMPLE ON LOW PRESSURE TRANSDUCER)
1. Reclaim any pressure on hoses. Open hand valves or disconnect hoses from rear of unit.
2. Connect DVM red lead to cathode of diode.
(D5 = Purge transducer / D6 = Low transducer D7 = High transducer)
3. Connect DVM black lead to SP3, (Top Center)
4. DVM should read .550 volts D.C. plus or minus .05 volts. If not change transducer. (May vary with altitude.)
5. With 70 psi on displays: (D5 = 1.102 volts / D6 = 2.349 volts / D7 = 1.238 volts).
NOTE: DIODE D5 VOLTAGE MAY BE DIFFERENT DUE TO AMOUNT OF AIR IN SYSTEM.

FLOW TEST DIAGNOSTICS (ELECTRIC)

PREREQUISITES:
Flow test (Displayed: "Flow resr", t looks like r, due to segments on displays) was designed to enable testing of
pneumatics. With the hand valves closed a small amount of refrigerant is allowed to escape from both tanks and
reclaimed by the unit.
This slug of refrigerant goes through the Vacuum solenoid into the Suction Separator turns into a vapor and is
reclaimed by the pump. The vacuum pump sucks the vapor through the system into the condenser where it
returns to a liquid and flows into the Reclaim tank. As this function flows the transducers monitor the process, if
pressures are not read or are stopped by a restriction the test will fail and an error code exhibited.
FLOW TEST:
1. Open both tanks with refrigerant and closehand valves. (450, not connected to vehicle)
2. Press the <UP ARROW> while "ELEC PASS" is displayed once Self Test has completed W/power on.

not move gas through system and502 will be displayed.
NOTE: IF RECLAIM EMPTY LIGHT IS ON THIS WILL FAIL DUE TO NOT ENOUGH REFRIGERANT
11. As pump vacuums system the Low and High transducers react producing low voltages; the unit expects these
changes. If Low pressure transducer does not react503 or if High pressure transducer does not react,504 is
displayed.
12. Next voltage is applied to Virgin solenoid S9. The solenoid is opened for a moment allowing the Low
pressure transducer to sense 30 psi or greater. If no pressure is sensed,505 is displayed.
13. Voltage is applied to Reclaim solenoid S10. The solenoid is opened for a moment allowing the Low pressure
transducer to sense 30 psi or greater. If no pressure is sensed,506 is displayed.
14. Voltage is applied to Oil solenoid S8. The solenoid is open for a moment allowing the low pressure
transducer to sense an increase. If no pressure is sensed,507 is displayed.
15. While this pressure is present the Crossover solenoid S7 is closed and more pressure is released. The
pressure on the Low and High transducers are compared. The Low pressure transducer should be 30psi
higher. If not, 508 will be displayed.
16. Now the Crossover solenoid S7 is opened. Expecting pressure to increase. If no rise in pressure is attained,

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Auto Sequence: Press <AUTO SEQUENCE>to begin an automatic sequence: Recovery, Evacuate, Vacuum
Hold, Oil charge and Refrigerant Recharge. The unit can automatically recall entries from the last AUTO
SEQUENCE operation by pressing and holding the<AUTO SEQUENCE>for five seconds.
Reclaim Only: Press <RECLAIM ONLY>to recover refrigerant from the air conditioning system. Refrigerant
gas enters the MRC-400's suction separator through two service hoses. The unit traps oil and solid contaminants
at the bottom of the separator bowl. The pump pulls refrigerant gas from the top of the bowl. Then the pump
compresses the refrigerant to a high-pressure gas. Next, the high-pressure refrigerant gas enters the condenser.
Two continuously running fans blow air across the condenser. The air removes heat and condenses the high-
pressure gas into a refrigerant liquid. The liquid flows out of the Condenser and through the Master Filter/Drier.
The unit collects the refrigerant in the recovery tank. When the unit finishes recovering, the operator panel's
green, COMPLETED LED lights. Unit can display exact amount of refrigerant recovered by pressing the
<AMOUNT>.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION continue...
Vacuum: After you open a vehicle air conditioning system, you can't immediately recharge it. First, you must
evacuate the system (pull it into a deep vacuum). The Air Conditioning system contains moisture. Pulling the
system into a deep vacuum removes this moisture. Evacuating the system also removes the non-condensable
gases remaining in the system. Only use the vacuum function when system pressure is "O". In the vacuum
function, non-condensable gas enters the suction separator through both service hoses. The gas proceeds down
to the pump vacuum, and out the pressure side of the pump. Then the unit expels non-condensable gas into the
purge bottle.
Charge: The MRC-400/450, uses an electronic scale to measure refrigerant and oil charge. The scale is
accurate to within 1/10th of an ounce. A heating blanket warms the virgin refrigerant in a 15/30/50 lb. cylinder
increasing the pressure and speeding up a charge. Charging proceeds at about one pound per minute. The oil
cylinder has a capacity of 20 ounces. The recovery tank and oil cylinder do not have heater blankets. Charging
occurs when the computer board opens the reclaim solenoid. With refrigerant in the recovery tank, the open
solenoid allows flow to service hoses. The unit charges until pressures equalize between the vehicle and the
recovery tank. If the unit hasn't completely filled the system, the unit displays "slow charge." Then the unit
switches over to virgin refrigerant and continues to charge. Charging stops when the scale weight loss equals the
amount keyed in by the technician.
ELECTRONIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
!
When working on this tester, keep three points in mind:
• Tester voltages refer to the "return" (white) side of the AC line. Yet sometimes outlet wiring is backward. In
that case, electronic ground connects to the "hot" side of the line. The tester operates normally, but the PC
board floats 115 VAC above safety ground.
• Assume that points inside the tester chassis are at 115 VAC. Act appropriately. If you make measurements
with grounded test equipment, use an isolation transformer. An oscilloscope is an example of such test
equipment.
• MRC-400 testers are susceptible to power line spikes and noise. You must connect the equipment to safety
ground, otherwise, the MRC-400's surge suppressors can't clip power line spikes properly. Does your
machine do "strange things" or exhibit intermittent problems? Check for a proper ground at the machine and
the power outlet. If you're using an extension cord, then check that, too. It must be constructed of at least 18
gauge wire and under 10 feet long.
• Schematic voltages refer to the "return" side of the line, not safety ground. When measuring voltage, use the
white wire on the line power terminal block as ground. Don't use the three, center safety ground terminals.
Another place you can access ground is at the shield. The black wire in the shielded transducer cables also
connects to the ground return.

REFRIGERANT SAFETY WARNINGS
!

When handling R-12 refrigerant, you must follow proper precautions. R-12 is extremely evaporative. Exposure to
liquid R-12 can result in frostbite. Always use appropriate safety precautions while testing, operating, servicing or
transferring R-12.
• WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES. When servicing or operating the tester, always wear safety goggles (0001-
5005).
• DON'T SPILL OR TOUCH LIQUID R-12.If your skin contacts liquid R-12, you can develop frostbite.
Evaporating R-12 removes latent heat from whatever it contacts. Open all fittings slowly to release pressure.
Operate testing and service valves according to applicable instructions. If someone's skin comes into contact
with liquid refrigerant, treat the skin for frostbite.
• AVOID FLAMES. Under normal conditions, R-12 is non-toxic. Yet an open flame reacts with R-12, producing
phosgene gas. This is a well-known fumigant and highly toxic poison. NO SMOKING! A cigarette becomes
hot enough to cause this reaction.
• AVOID EXCESSIVE HEAT. Within a refrigerant container, pressure rises with heat. Store containers
upright, out of the sun and away from heat vents.
• VENTILATION. Adequate ventilation is essential for several reasons. The R-12 gas displaces air. Large
quantities of R-12 in a confined space can cause suffocation. Also, when R-12 levels in the air are high, leak
detection is difficult. Keep the MRC-400 unit in a well-ventilated area.
SERVICE GUIDELINES
• BEFORE REPLACINGcircuit boards, verify that the main power supply operates within specifications.
• VERIFY that board connectors are fully seated.
• NEVER remove boards or disconnect a connector with the power on!
• MAKE SURE that you completely understand what the tester does.(If it works, you can't fix it!) Refer to the
Operator's Manual, application notes, and flow diagrams.
• CONSULT the Service Bulletin Binder. It may identify and explain how to correct the problem.
• BE CAREFUL when handling circuit boards! Wear an anti-static wrist strap.
• WHEN TRANSPORTINGcircuit boards, use anti-static bags.

INTRODUCTION (B)
HANDLING MOS IC'S AND THEIR STATIC SENSITIVE DEVICES

Most integrated circuits are high impedance devices. This characteristic makes them susceptible to damage by
electrostatic charges. Large electrostatic charges tend to build up in low humidity environments. If you provide a
discharge path through the IC, you may damage the IC.
To prevent needless failures, employ these techniques when handling static-sensitive devices...
• Until circuit boards are ready for use, keep them in their static-protective packaging.
• Never remove or insert boards when the machine is under power.
• The correct board removal procedure is as follows:
– When you're repairing equipment, it must be grounded.
– Wear your anti-static wrist strap. Connect it to the equipment chassis or nearest available
ground. (Field Service Kits include a wrist strap and grounding cord (0552-0032-01).
– Neutralize static voltage differences! Touch the chassis, or any metal part of the equipment.
– Always grasp the board from two opposite edges with your forefingers.
– Place removed boards on a grounded static-dissipative mat (part of the field service kit).
• When inserting boards into the equipment:
– Remove the board from the original packaging on static dissipative material. If you must ship a
defective board, save packaging material for reuse.
– Be sure to remove power from the tester. When installing the replacement board, following
above steps.
– Pack defective boards in a shielded bag. Return the bag in the reusable container.
• Packing IC chips, or other static-sensitive devices: Use conductive foam or an equivalent, anti-static
material with adequate physical protection.
• Avoid unnecessary contact with internal components.
• Avoid setting boards on static-prone insulating surfaces such as paper, glass, rubber or plastic.
• Beware of static generated by friction when...
– Wearing silk or nylon garments.
– Walking on carpets.
– Scuffing shoes with rubber soles.
NOTICE
Relative humidity has a direct effect on static charge buildup. As humidity decreases, static buildup usually
increases.

CHAPTER 1
AC/DC POWER DISTRIBUTION
AC/DC THEORY OF OPERATION
!
Always use the "One Hand Rule" when working with AC voltages by keeping one hand in your pocket or behind
your back. Before removing wires from the MRC-400/450 / ACT-4100/4500, always verify that the Tester is
"OFF". Turn off the Main Power Switch on the front panel and unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet.
AC DISTRIBUTION
The primary voltage applies 110V, 60Hz AC to the MRC-400/450 / ACT-4100/4500 via the hot side (Black Wire)
of the AC power cable. The Main Power routes to one side of the "ON/OFF" Front Panel Power Switch/Circuit
Breaker (15A). The hot wire continues to one side of the Line Filter. The common side routes to the other side of
the Line Filter. The earth ground directly connects to the units chassis.
With the unit connected to an AC source, AC is supplied to the ON/OFF Switch. With the Main Power Switch
"ON", 110VAC routes to the following:
Line Filter (HOT/COMMON) Terminal Block (HOT/COMMON)

Transformer (HOT/COMMON) Relay Board (HOT)
Once <POWER> is pressed on the front panel, 110VAC is routed to the following:
Fans, Condenser (HOT) Heater Blanket (HOT) Circuit Boards
COMPRESSOR OPERATION
In the Recovery/Vacuum Mode, the Pump pulls a vacuum and evacuates refrigerant from the vehicle. The
Plumbing Board activates Relay (K1) on the Relay Board that supplies 110VAC to the Thermal Overload Breaker
(Klixon-Normally Closed). The AC is then routed to both windings (TOP PIN C), on the compressor. AC is then
routed through the start and motor windings to pin 3 and pin 5 (Compressor Relay K1 coil). AC neutral line is
connected to terminal "1" on K1 coil and to one side of the internal contact. Once the compressor builds up
enough current, K1 coil will energize and close the contacts from pin 1 to pin 2. The suppression cap assembly is
connected to terminal "1" and "2" to suppress noise on start up. The start capacitor produces a phase shift
allowing the compressor to start. Once the compressor gets up to speed, the current through the motor windings
will decrease and disengage K1. Once K1 is disengaged, the contacts will open and the AC neutral line will be
removed from the start winding.
TRANSFORMER OPERATION
The transformer converts 110 volts AC down to 24 volts, 15 volts, and 5 volts AC. These AC lines are protected
with three fuses. All three AC voltages are supplying power to the Processor Board at J4 pins 1 & 2, 3 & 4, 5 &
6. With the Main Power switch in the ON position, the Processor Board has power.
RELAY BOARD
A.C. voltage from the Main Power switch is applied directly to one side of the contacts on relay K1 and K2,
located on the Relay Board. When the relays are energized, AC voltage is routed to the compressor through K1
and to the condenser fans and heater blanket through K2.

CHAPTER1 AC/DC POWER DISTRIBUTION (B)
DC DISTRIBUTION
PROCESSOR BOARD
The Processor Board has three bridge rectifiers and one 5 volt regulator. D1 bridge rectifier converts 5 volts to
12VDC and supplies voltage to the 5 volt regulator. The 5 volts is used for the standard components and IC’s for
power. D2 bridge rectifier converts 15VAC to 15VDC and supplies voltage to the 15 volt regulator located on the
Plumbing Board via J7 pin 1 to J1 pin 1. D3 bridge rectifier converts 24VAC to 24VDC and supplies voltage to
the audible Alarm. The 24VDC supplies voltage to K1 and K2 on the Relay Board, Smart Drivers with Self Test
for Solenoids on the Plumbing Board.
PLUMBING BOARD
The Plumbing Board has a 15VDC regulator, that is used to power the Ambient Temperature Sensor (built in the
board), Load Cell (Scale), and external Temperature Probe (temperature of A/C system in car). The 15VDC
regulator is powered by the unregulated 15VDC from D2 bridge rectifier located on the Processor Board. The
5VDC supplies voltage to the Transducers, and switches monitored by a pull up resistor on each line.
LCD BOARD
The LCD Board is powered by +5 VDC from the 5 volt regulator on the Processor Board. The +5VDC is derived
from J2 pin 6 to J1 pin 6 on the LCD Board (left) and from J8 pin 6 to J1 pin 6 on the LCD Board (right).
LED Board.
The LED Board is powered by +5 VDC and +12 VDC supplied from the Processor Board. The +12 VDC is used
to power the LED’s.
RELAY BOARD
The Relay Board has two 24 volt relays on it, K1 and K2. The +24VDC is derived from J12 pin 2 on the
Plumbing Board. This 24 volts is supplied to both relay coils, through diodes. The output port I.C. located on the
Plumbing Board supplies a return path to complete the return side of K1 coil, so the relay is energized. When
energized, the switch contacts will be closed allowingA.C. voltage to power the Fans and Heater Blanket. When
the return side of K2 coil is completed, the relay is energized causing the switch contacts to be closed allowing
A.C. voltage to power the compressor.
SOLENOID OPERATION
The solenoids are powered by +24VDC from D3 bridge rectifier. The +24VDC is derived from J1 pin 4. K1
allows the SOL GND to pass through the normally closed High Pressure Switch to Q2 emitter. Q2 is turned on
with the +5VDC supply to connect the emitter to the collector side. The collector side is connected to the coil of
K1 to allow the relay to close the contacts, that allowsSOL GND to all solenoids.
LOAD CELL
The load cell is powered by +10 volt DC at J10 pin 2 & 7, supplied from the +15 volt circuit. The load cell is a
device that measures weight.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
The Ambient Temperature is powered by +15 volt DC. This sensor is routed from the Plumbing Board to the
Velcro strap on the Recovery tank. It is used to determine temperature of the tank which is then calculated into
pressure. This reading is how the unit determines Purge pressure.
EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE PROBE

The Temperature Probe is powered by +15 volt DC through J9 pin 1. Temperature Probe is used to measure the
temperature in the vehicle.
Effective
Page 1-2 2/97
ALARM
The alarm is powered by the 24 volt DC voltage at J1 pin1. A beeper driver is used to sound the alarm when the
buttons are pressed, or if an error code is displayed.
HIGH/LOW/PURGE PRESSURE TRANSDUCER

The Pressure Transducers are powered by +5 volt DC through J11 pin 1, 6, & 11 on the Plumbing Board. These
transducers are used to monitor pressure and vacuum readings on the vehicle or the Recovery Tank.
NORMALLY OPEN SWITCHES

The switches are supplied power by +5 volt pull-up resistors on J2 pins 9, 7, 11, J3 pins 1, 5, & 7. Once a switch
is closed, the switch will have zero volts on both sides of the switch. When the switch re-opens then +5 volts will
be on one side of the switch and ground on the other.
RECOVERY TANK SWITCHES

The Recovery Tank has a float assembly inside of the tank to determine the level of refrigerant. The lower float is
normally open and has a 5 volt pull up resistor via J2 pin 5 to monitor the status of the float. The upper float is
normally closed and also has a 5 volt pull up resistor via J2 pin 1 to monitor the status of the float.
CHECK OUT PROCEDURE

There is not a calibration procedure for the Plumbing Board or the Display/Control Board. The only thing
available is a quick voltage check.
TRANSFORMER CHECK OUT PROCEDURE

1. Using a DVM in AC mode, connect both leads across J4 pins 1 and 2. Voltage reading should be≈5 to 8
volts AC.
2. Connect both leads across J4 pins 3 and 4. Voltage reading should be≈15 to 20 volts AC.
3. Connect both leads across J4 pins 7 and 8. Voltage reading should≈20 to 24 volts AC.
If the above voltage readings are not correct, disconnect J4 from Processor Board and try again. If voltages are
still out of range, replace Transformer.
PROCESSOR BOARD CHECK OUT PROCEDURE

1. Using a DVM in DC mode, connect the BLACK lead to ground on the board.
PLUMBING BOARD CHECK OUT PROCEDURE

1. Using a DVM in DC mode, connect the BLACK lead to ground on the board. (SP-3)

THEORY OF OPERATION
OPERATING MODES FOR SERIAL "B"
POWER ON MODE
The Power On Mode is activated by turning on the Main Power switch located on back of the unit; one short
beep is sounded. Then press the front panel <POWER>, for 3 seconds; a beep is sounded. When the MRC /
ACT is turned "ON", all segments on both displays will be ON. The software Rev. number will be displayed for
about 3 seconds. The Liquid and Crossover solenoids will be powered and closed (N.O. solenoids). K2 on the
Relay Board will also be energized, thus turning on the Fans and Heater.
The Heater Blanket is used to heat the virgin tank. Increasing the temperature of the tank raises the pressure in
the cylinder, thus providing a quicker charge rate. The nominal operating temperature for the blanket is 120°F
±10°. A temperature regulator is built into the heater blanket and is not intended to be serviced.

CHAPTER 2 THEORY OF OPERATION (B)
AUTO SEQUENCE MODE

In this Mode the MRC / ACT will automatically recover the system, recycle the refrigerant , evacuate, check the
system for leaks, and recharge the system. The operator enters the Auto Sequence Mode by first depressing
<AUTO SEQUENCE>, at which time the "VACUUM TIME", "AUTO SEQUENCE" and the "HOLD" lights will turn
ON. The operator will then:
1. Press and hold the <VALUE ADJUST> until the specified "VACUUM TIME" is indicated on the right display.
2. Press the <HOLD/ENTER/RESTART> to enter that number.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for entering the "HOLD TIME" and the "CHARGE AMOUNT". To take the unit out of
the "HOLD" state, and activate the "AUTO SEQUENCE" test, press <HOLD/ENTER/RESTART>. For more
information, refer to the "AUTO SEQUENCE FLOW CHART" in appendix E of the Operator's Manual.
RECLAIM LOW, HIGH MODES

NOTE: Only in the discussion of the Reclaim Cycle will the purpose and operation of individual components be
discussed. It is recommended that in reading the following material, the Pneumatic and Functional Block
diagrams be used as a reference.
In the Reclaim Mode, Vacuum, Suction Separator, Condenser, Liquid and Zero solenoids are OPEN, and the
Vacuum Pump, Fans and Heater will be ON. With High and Low pressure hoses connected to the vehicle being
serviced, the MRC/ACT will attempt to recover refrigerant through both hoses. If the pressure in the high
pressure hose, which is being monitored by the High Pressure Transducer, exceeds 120 psi, then the Crossover
Solenoid will be CLOSED, RECLAIM HIGH mode. Crossover Solenoid is OPENED if the discharge pressure is
less than 110 psi. This is also controlled by temperature, below 60º Crossover Solenoid is CLOSED,
RECLAIM HIGH. The Pump runs until the suction and discharge pressure are both less than 4 inches of
vacuum (4 hg), if software is less then 2.08. 2.08 software and above, vacuum is pulled to 15 inches (15 hg).
The system then waits approx. 2 minutes (depending on ambient temperature) for a rise in pressure, in order to
boil off any residual refrigerant. If no rise in pressure occurs the system will beep twice and the Green
"COMPLETED" LED on the Control Panel will be lit. If rise occurs, it is refered to “RESIDUAL RECOVERY”.
The low and high pressure transducers monitor the pressures when connected to a vehicle. These transducers
output a voltage proportional to the amount of pressure being sensed. The suction side transducer outputs
.00025 (.25 millivolts) per psi and the discharge and purge transducers output .0001 ( .1 millivolt) per psi.
(EXAMPLE: LOW : 70PSI IS EQUAL TO .0175V. HIGH 70PSI IS EQUAL TO .007V.) Since most field
equipment cannot measure such low voltages, the amplified signal would have to be measured on the plumbing
board. (See page 3-2 Transducer Checkout Procedure)
As the recovered refrigerant flows through the low and high sides and into the Vacuum solenoid to the Suction
Separator, the Vacuum solenoid is being pulsed to control the amount of refrigerant going into the Suction
Separator bowl. This helps prevent frost/liquid build up in the Suction Separator bowl, and reduces the amount of
oil being discharged from the vehicle. Pulsing of the Vacuum solenoid will be activated when pressure in Suction
Separator bowl is above 20 psi (OFF) and below 10 psi. (ON).
NOTE: Pulsing of the Vacuum solenoid does not lengthen reclaim time.

The Desiccant bag in the Suction Separator is designed to be the first stage in removing moisture from the
refrigerant. As refrigerant enters the Suction Separator any Oil and solids separate and remain in the bowl.
The refrigerant vapor is then pulled from the Suction Separator bowl by the compressor, which pressurizes it and
passes through to the Oil Separator. Inside the Oil Separator the vaporized oil cools and collects. The
recovered refrigerant vapor passes from the Oil Separator to the Condenser solenoid, the recovered gas flows
through the Condenser where it is cooled and converted to a liquid. The liquid then enters the Master Filter /
Dryer. This Filter / Dryer contains a internal 10 micron filter on the inlet and outlet with desiccant between the
two filters. This is the last step to remove any moisture or other impurities. The recycled refrigerant flows
through the filter and dries it then enters the Moisture Indicator. The Moisture indicator, located on the bottom
left hand front corner of the machine, will indicate if there is any moisture in the recycled refrigerant. This is
located in the lower section due to water is heavier than refrigerant. The recycled refrigerant flows through the
Liquid solenoid, and enters an area where the Purge Transducer can monitor the pressure. (See Table on Page
2-7). Finally the recovered recycled refrigerant will empty into the vapor side of the recovery tank.
Effective
12/98 Page 2-3
RECOVERY HOLD MODE

In Reclaim Hold the Condenser, Liquid and Zero solenoids are ON, allowing the Transducer to maintain constant
readings. The Vacuum Pump is OFF. In this cycle the MRC/ACT will hold a vacuum between 30 and 170
seconds, depending on ambient temperature. This is to determine if there may be residual refrigerant still in the
system. During this time, if suction or discharge pressure exceeds 2 psi, the Pump is started. The unit enters
recovery until both the suction and discharge pressure are below 4 inches of vacuum (4 hg), if software is less
then 2.08. 2.08 software and above, vacuum is pulled to 15 inches (15 hg). Both displays will show continuous
measurements for the high and low sides. At the end of this cycle the unit will proceed to the next cycle.

As the compressor functions, small amounts of oil is carried off with the compressed refrigerant. This oil is
collected in the Oil Separator. Every time the pump cycle ends the unit will energize (open) the Oil Return
solenoid for 5 seconds. This allows any oil to flow back to the Vacuum side of the pump. This operation will keep
the correct amount of oil in the pump for the most effective method of cooling and lubrication. At the beginning of
the Vacuum cycle this solenoid is open again for 5 seconds. Oil Separator does not require any oil. (Requires

PURGE MODE
The purpose of the Purge cycle is to remove non-condensables (Air) from the Recovery Tank. Atthe end of
each recovery the MRC / ACT will first prepare for the Purge by CLOSING the Crossover, Condenser and Liquid
solenoids. The Purge and Zero solenoids OPEN next, emptying the non- condensables from the top of the
recovery tank into the rear of the unit. The Operator will hear a pulsing of the Purge solenoid.Inbetween each
pulse the unit monitors the Purge transducer until pressure is below purge state. The ambient temperature sensor
is monitoring the recovery tank and using the "Temperature / Pressure" relation. The Fans and Heater are ON for
the entire Purge cycle. The amount of non-condensables that escapes during the Purge Cycle depends on the
Temperature of the Ambient Temperature Sensor. The unit will always Purge down to the refrigerant temperature
versus pressure plus 10 to insure there are no non-condensables in the unit. (Ambient Temperature vs. Pressure,

SUCTION SEPARATOR MODE

The Suction Separator cycle can be activated either by the Suction Separator Bowl filling with Oil or Refrigerant
to the point where the Suction Separator Float Switch is activated or by pressing the red switch
by the Suction Separator Bowl. In this cycle the Float switch in the Suction Separator Bowl will close and activate
when raised. When this occurs theMRC / ACT will beep three times, display "SUC SEP" and the
"HOLD" light on the front panel will be lit. The Suction Separator, Condenser, Liquid and Zero “0”solenoids
will OPEN . The Fans, Heater and Compressor will be ON at this time. After a 5 minute deep Reclaim, the
system will beep twice and the pressure on the Suction Separator Bowl will have been drawn to the Recovery
Tank. The red switch near the Suction Separator Bowl will light.
With the Bowl removed and the Oil disposed of properly, the Suction Separator Float Switch can be reset by
lifting and holding the Float Switch UP until the unit beeps twice and the red light near the Suction Separator Bowl
will turn OFF. Releasing the float causes the unit to beep twice and turn the red light back on. With the Bowl
replaced, press <HOLD/ENTER/RESTART>to reset and restart the unit. This will also turn OFF the red light
near the Suction Separator Bowl.
BACKGROUND RECLAIM MODE

This cycle is triggered by a rise in pressure in the Suction Separator Bowl. Suction Separator light flashes. Unit
enters Recovery mode with Vacuum solenoid ON, until Bowl pressure dissipates. Requires no operator
intervention and could cause the operator to think this is an erratic operation

CHECKOUT PROCEDURES
!

SYSTEM TEST PROCEDURE:

NOTE: THIS PROCEDURE WILL CHECK OUT THE MAJORITY OF THE UNIT WITHOUT THE
REQUIREMENT FOR HOOK UP TO A VEHICLE.
Shut down unit by turning front panel ON/OFF button OFF.

Turn off Recovery tank valves and remove Vapor hose from RECOVERY tank.
Connect vapor hose to Red vehicle High side hose. High side will display pressure. (MRC-450 uses yellow utility
hose)
With Low side hose connected open hand valve. (MRC-450, remove Low side vehicle adapter).
Turn unit on and program unit to "RECLAIM ONLY".
Low side will display vacuum until it reaches about 4” or 5", where the pump will shut off. If pump turns on and off
when appropriate, then transducers are correctly adjusted and unit is operating correctly.
When pump restarts plug low side hose with your thumb to seal system and create a Vacuum.
NOTE: If high side does not increase it will most likely be a restriction, troubleshoot per unit purging.
TEST COMPLETE
PUMP CHECKOUT PROCEDURE

To start and run properly, the vacuum pump requires a properly grounded 115VAC voltage supply with sufficient
current carrying capacity. If possible, avoid extension cords. However, if you must use one, it must be at least 18
AWG and not over 10 feet long.
To confirm operation:
Turn on unit and confirm hand valves are closed.

Press Auto sequence.
Enter time for vacuum only and activate by continuing to press the<HOLD/ENTER/RESTART>.
Pump will start and displays will show amount of vacuum in "hg".
Cancel operation once pump is confirmed operating.
If the pump doesn't start, ensure that the above requirements are confirmed; then see Troubleshooting in Chapter
2.

CHAPTER3 CHECKOUT-CALIBRATION-MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES (B)
CHECKOUT CHARGE AND RECLAIM PLUMBING
Close both hand valves at the end of the hoses.
Turn on the unit and in the Auto sequence, program 4 ounces (0 LB's 4 oz.) of refrigerant. Wait and watch the
displays; the unit should hold the pressure. If not, use leak detector to find leak.
Press <RECLAIM>, allow unit to operate.
Wait and watch the displays; the unit should decrease the pressure until 4-6 inches is displayed. If it looses
vacuum check reclaim hose fittings.
CHECKOUT COMPLETE
TRANSDUCER CHECKOUT PROCEDURE

TOOLS REQUIRED:DVM
Transducers output a voltage proportional to amount of pressure they sense. The suction side transducer outputs
.00025 (.25 millivolts) per psi and the discharge and purge transducers output .0001 ( .1millivolt) per psi. At
atmosphere, zero pressure, the transducers output voltage is .5 voltsD.C. This amplified voltage can be
measured at the cathode of diodes on the plumbing board. (Diodes are located in upper right corner of Plumbing
board when installed in unit) To confirm transducers are functioning properly follow procedure below to measure
.5 volts.
(PROCEDURE BELOW USES EXAMPLE ON LOW PRESSURE TRANSDUCER)
Reclaim any pressure on hoses. Open hand valves or disconnect hoses from rear of unit.
Connect DVM red lead to cathode of diode.
(D5 = Purge transducer / D6 = Low transducer D7 = High transducer)
Connect DVM black lead to SP3, (Top Center)
DVM should read .550 volts D.C. plus or minus .05 volts. If not change transducer. (May vary with altitude.)
With 70 psi on displays: (D5 = 1.102 volts / D6 = 2.349 volts / D7 = 1.238 volts).
NOTE: DIODE D5 VOLTAGE MAY BE DIFFERENT DUE TO AMOUNT OF AIR IN SYSTEM.
CHECKOUT COMPLETE
Press the <UP> arrow and the <POWER> at the same time.
This will display entire scale weight readings live. Press <UP> to toggle between Purge pressure and

SOLENOID DIAGNOSTICS (ELECTRIC)

PREREQUISITIES:
The MRC-400/450 has built in diagnostics to test the electrical portion of the unit. Each solenoid is controlled by
a "SMART DRIVER". These drivers can detect an open or a short. When self diagnostics is performed and a
solenoid is defective the number representing that device will be displayed following the number 4. EXAMPLE:
Err. 405, the 5 represents solenoid S5, the 4 represents an electric problem with the block. Below a list of
solenoid descriptions.

FLOW TEST DIAGNOSTICS (ELECTRIC)
PREREQUISITES: Both tanks must have refrigerant.
Flow test (Displayed: "Flow resr", t looks like r, due to segments on displays) was designed to enable testing of
pneumatics. With the hand valves closed a small amount of refrigerant is allowed to escape from both tanks
and reclaimed by the unit.
This slug of refrigerant goes through the Vacuum solenoid into the Suction Separator bowl, vapor and is
reclaimed by the pump. The vacuum pump sucks the vapor through the system into the condenser where it
returns to a liquid and flows into the Reclaim tank. As this function flows the transducers monitor the process, if
pressures are not read or are stopped by a restriction the test will fail and an error code exhibited.
FLOW TEST:
1. Open both tanks with refrigerant and close hand valves. (ACT-4500/MRC-450, not connected to vehicle)
2. Press the <UP ARROW> while "ELEC PASS" is displayed once Self Test has completed W/power on. (SEE
APPENDIX "F" FOR ERROR CODES) CAUTION: DO NOT PRESS DOWN ARROW THIS WILL ENTER A
MANUFACTURES SUB TEST TO OPEN ALL SOLENOIDS, WITH SOFTWARE 1.10 OR UNDER.FLOW
TEST THEORY OF OPERATION WITH ERROR CODES:
3. Unit looks at Virgin tank switch, if tank is present OK. If not NO VIR 1 is displayed.
4. Unit looks at Oil switch, if oil cylinder is present OK. If not, NO OIL 2 is displayed.
5. Unit looks at Reclaim tank switch to see if tank is present. If not, NO RECLM 3 is displayed.
6. Unit runs reclaim to ensure system is capped off.
7. Suction Separator switch is monitored with vacuum solenoid opened during Reclaim. Switch should not
close. If it does, 511 is displayed.
8. Unit looks at Reclaim tank switch to see if tank is present. If not, 500 is displayed.
9. Unit looks at Virgin tank switch to see if tank is present. If not, 501 will be displayed.
10. As test procedure continues, pump is started and the Vacuum and Suction Separator solenoids are
powered/opened. Test is timed. If vacuum does not increase to 15" within 7 minutes, then vacuum pump
did not move gas through system and 502 will be displayed.

these changes. If Low pressure transducer does not react 503 is displayed. Or if High pressure transducer
does not react, 504 is displayed.
12. Next voltage is applied to Virgin solenoid S9. The solenoid is opened for a moment allowing the Low
pressure transducer to sense 30 psi or greater. If no pressure is sensed, 505 is displayed.
13. Voltage is applied to Reclaim solenoid S10. The solenoid is opened for a moment allowing the Low pressure
transducer to sense 30 psi or greater. If no pressure is sensed, 506 is displayed.
14. Voltage is applied to Oil solenoid S8. The solenoid is open for a moment allowing the low pressure
transducer to sense an increase. If no pressure is sensed, 507 is displayed.
15. While this pressure is present the Crossover solenoid S7 is closed and more pressure is released. The
pressure on the Low and High transducers are compared. The Low pressure transducer should be 30 psi
higher. If not, 508 will be displayed.
16. Now the Crossover solenoid S7 is opened. High pressure transducer is expecting pressure to increase. If no
rise in pressure is attained, 509 will be displayed
17. Vacuum solenoid S6 is opened. Low pressure switch will sense more than 20 psi. If not, unit displays 510.

3. Place 10 lb. weight on scale, adjust VR1 on the Plumbing board (7001-2185-01) for 10.30 lb. on left display.
(positive readings could be affected if zero should drift negative, so we added 3 to 12 oz. to compensate,
offset can be as high as 12 oz. confirm linearity by adding 10 pounds before adjusting)
4. Add remaining 40 lb. weight on scale, adjust VR2 on the Plumbing board for 50.30 LB on left display.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until unit displays correct reading on both steps with out any adjusting. Remove
weights.
6. Reinstall tanks, wait for two beeps each time tank is installed.
7. Screw oil bracket and cylinder in place, wait for 2 beeps.
TEMPERATURE PROBE CALIBRATION

Calibration is done through software, this software adjustment compensates for the added
resistance of the cable compared to the ambient temperature sensor in the unit. This calibration is performed
during the unit calibration. This also zero's the Low and High transducers.

Effective
Page 3-6 12/98
PROCEDURE FOR CHANGING OIL / OIL SHOULD BE CHANGED EVERY 90 DAYS
OIL RESERVOIR MAINTENANCE

This procedure is in reference to the large Temprite oil reservoir. The small reservoir does not require oil
maintenance since it does not contain any oil. The oil level in the reservoir should be checked whenever a
failure such as a leak in the plumbing, excessive purging occurs or compressor is whining.
NOTE: Release pressure in the system by entering the S. S. mode; activate by pressing the red switch
by the suction separator bowl.
1. Place the Power Switch in the "ON" position.

2. Close the hand valves at the end of both service hoses.
3. Press <RECLAIM ONLY>.
4. When the green status LED lights, turn POWER OFF. Unplug the MRC from the grounded 110 volt outlet.
5. Remove the two screws under the front lip of the control panel. Lift up the control panel.
!

6. Remove the three (3) hoses attached to the pump oil reservoir.
7. Remove the nut that secures the oil reservoir to the bottom of the shelf and remove oil reservoir.
8. Invert the reservoir and empty the oil via the "OUTPUT" fitting into an approved container in accordance with
Local, State and Federal regulations that may apply in your area.
9. Disconnect hoses to compressor. Remove four bolts securing pump to unit.
10. Tip and pour oil out of compressor. Refill with 10 ounces of new oil.
11. Using a small funnel, pour 13 oz. of recommended compressor oil into the outlet port of the reservoir. 13 oz.
of oil will measure 2-1/2" on the dip stick.
12. Carefully reinstall the oil reservoir and pump onto the shelf in the cabinet. Secure with the hardware
previously removed.
13. Reconnect the yellow hose to the "OIL" port, red hose from compressor to "INLET" port and red hose from
pneumatic block to "OUTLET" port.
14. Lower control panel and reconnect the two screws removed in step 5.

PUMP MAINTENANCE
CHANGING OIL USING A VACUUM SOURCE TO DRAW OUT THE OIL.

OVERVIEW: _____________________________________________________________
Many technicians have inquired about a quicker way of changing the oil in the compressors in our Air
Conditioning Recyclers. Below is a procedure which some of our technicians have already been using and
have confirmed works. We are using as many parts at hand as possible, (Example: Suction Separator Bowl
and R-12 hose with finger tight fittings #3988-0243-01).
NOTE: First, F.Y.I. we cannot add a oil drain plug because the bottom thickness of the
pump is too thin, we would have to weld an additional piece of metal to the
bottom and then make the drain. This added cost is not feasible.
PARTS LIST: ____________________________________________________________

• Hoses: 2 Hoses with finger tight fittings. (8’ hose 3988-0243-01 to be connected to vacuum source),
(18” yellow hose 3988-0246-01 to be used w/catheter tube)
• Vacuum Pump: Any vacuum pump is acceptable.
• Optional: Tiny firm tube, which would fit into the fitting on the pump. (Example: Catheter tube, 14 inches)
Insert catheter tube into hose with finger tight fitting prior to the start.
Removing oil using an optional catheter tube.

1. If there is any refrigerant or oil in the Suction Separator bowl, perform bowl maintenance, bowl must be
empty. Remove desiccant bag and discard for this procedure.
2. Turn off the unit and unplug the cord from the wall outlet.
3. Remove the two bolts under the front lip of the tester and open the top.
4. Disconnect the two hoses/tubes from the Suction Separator bowl.
5. Attach one end of a 8’ hose to the left side (inlet) of the suction separator bowl. The other end to the
vacuum source. See figure 1 on the next page.
6. Connect the hose with catheter tube to the right side (outlet) of the Suction Separator bowl.
Remove top hose from compressor.
7. Turn on vacuum source, and insert the catheter tube inside the compressor. As soon as it reaches the oil,
the tube will fill, causing the oil to be collected in the suction separator bowl.
NOTE: Monitor Suction Separator bowl so it doesn’t over flow. Pumps make a lot of noise when they
are over filled.
8. If oil stops, continue to push the catheter tube down into compressor, perform this step a few times until
compressor is empty. This may take some practice and patience.
9. Shutoff the vacuum source, and remove the catheter tube.
10. Remove the bowl and discard the oil properly.
11. Remove the hoses connected in steps 4 & 5 and connect to original position.
12. Continue to filling compressor with oil.

Remove desiccant bag for this procedure.
2. Turn off the unit and unplug the cord from the wall outlet.
3. Remove the two bolts under the front lip of the tester and open the top.
4. Disconnect the two hoses/tubes from the Suction Separator bowl.
5. Access the compressor. Remove top hose from compressor.
6. Attach hose to top fitting on pump. This will require hose with finger type fitting. Attach other end to right
side of suction separator bowl. The bowl catches the oil.
7. Unbolt the pump and turn upside down, the other hose may have to be removed. This will bring the oil to the
fitting.
8. Attach one end of a 8’ hose to the left side the suction separator bowl.
9. Connect the other end to vacuum source.
10. Turn on vacuum source, and a vacuum will be applied thru the hoses and bowl to the pump, causing the oil
to be collected in the suction separator bowl.
11. After a few moments all the oil will be in the bowl. Shutoff the vacuum source.
12. Return compressor to upright position and reconnect hoses to there original state.
13. Remove the bowl and discard the oil properly.
PROCEDURE COMPLETE
Filling oil
1. Use the hose that connects to the vacuum port on the compressor, disconnect it from the block.
2. Pour 10 ounces of compressor oil (3GS/ 300 ves.) into container and insert the hose into the oil.
3. Plug in cord into outlet and turn on unit.
4. Program unit for 5 minutes of vacuum. As pump is energized the oil will be drawn into the pump in seconds.
5. When finished press “Cancel” to stop the pump. Reassemble pump and hoses.

This appendix will give a breakdown of each software revision. The first section list the revision of software and
the modification for each chapter that it supports. Second section list the hardware changes for each revision.
SOFTWARE REVISIONS
REVISION 2.00
∗ New release.
∗ Changed tank default to 30 pounds, Virgin Tank.
∗ Added lbs. and oz. to charging amount selection.
∗ Unit select mode now defaults to previously selected units.
∗ Charge amounts now selectable by selecting lbs. or kgs. first, then selecting oz. or tenths of lbs.
∗ Changed Temp. Probe routine not to look at dip switch; displays ---- if temp. is out of range instead of
flagging errors.
∗ Added dip switch settings (sw.#6) for SUN icon.
∗ Added 30lb. or 50lb. reclaim tank weight in default settings. Unit now displays weight of refrigerant when
installing a non-empty reclaim tank.
∗ Added feature in amounts routine, to display amount charged during charge cycle and time remaining in
vacuum time.
REVISION 2.01
∗ Fixed bug in service mode where purge pressure could not be monitored.
REVISION 2.02 & 2.03
∗ Hold LED was not kept on during Suc Sep cycle. It is now.
REVISION 2.04
board changed.
REVISION 2.05
∗ NOT RELEASED TO PRODUCTION

∗ Fixed bug when cancelling out of vacuum hold, timer not reset. Even if no vacuum time, goes into vacuum
for remainer of hold time.
∗ Check suc vac instead of suc pres for no vacuum at end of vacuum time.
∗ Added refrigerant MP52 purge tables.
∗ Added refrigerant types to pressure check routine for crossover valve on/off values in charge mode.
Effective
2/97 Page C-1
APPENDIXC SOFTWARE/HARDWARE REVISION (B)
REVISION 2.05 continue...
∗ Added one extra count to charge target weight to compensate for lost fractions.
∗ Fixed bug with pump pressure check on startup.
∗ Added 3 pass check on limits before flagging errors.
∗ Added debounce on float and high pressure switches.
∗ Remove pump pressure check; did not work reliably.
board changed.
REVISION 2.06
∗ NOT RELEASED TO PRODUCTION.

∗ Opened test parameters in burnin to +/-3 psi on pressure checks. Changed anti-jig routine to +/-2 scale
counts.
REVISION 2.07

∗ Added 3 minute wait in cal routine to let transducers warm up.
∗ Set temperature offset to 0 on power up if system not calibrated.
REVISION 2.08

∗ Removed pump pressure check.
REVISION 2.09
∗ Crossover valve now opens during reclaim mode when suction pressure reaches 0.
∗ Added feature to display amounts if in Error 7.
∗ Changed reclaim function to pull down to 15 in. hg. and rise to 5 in. hg.
∗ Added additional 15 in. hg. pull down after reclaim wait time.
REVISION 2.10
∗ Added routine to monitor and reduce pressure in suciton seperator bowl if bowl was not removed when red
light is on.
∗ Added flashing red light during background recovery mode.
Effective
Page C-2 2/97
REVISION 2.20
∗ Not to be used. All future versions will only support new small oil separator
∗ Eliminated error 9.
∗ Changed error 7 to handle accurate charging if tanks are changed during slow charge.
∗ Changed reclaim cycle to only purge if reclaim lasted more than 3 minutes.
∗ Changed upper tank pressure limit in reclaim to be purge pressure + 40 psi for high pressure error.
∗ Added routine to check float switch in bowl to determine if float is really in the maintenance mode, or if a
splash of refrigerant tripped the float. This mode will display “bol” on high side during the recovery mode for 3
minutes.
∗ Changed auto sequence to check both pressures before going to vacuum mode.
∗ Added routine to check pressure in recovery tank before charging.
∗ Added routine to check the pressure in the recovery tank during the reclaim cycle. If pressure is over 40 psi
of vapor pressure (depending on temperature) the unit will purge and display error code 18. The user will be
prompted to press HOLD to exit. This will eliminate long recovery cycles, and high pressure in the recovery
tank.
∗ Added customer calibration routine just to calibrate transducers without adjusting temperature. (Press and
hold <HOLD/ENTER/RESTART>FOR 5 SECONDS).
REVISION 2.21
∗ Changed oil solenoid on time at start of vacuum mode from 10 seconds to 5 sec, Added 15 delay to turn on
suction separator solenoid in vacuum mode.
