Elitech VGW-Mini Wireless Digital Vacuum Gauge Kit

1. 서론

Thank you for choosing the Elitech VGW-Mini Wireless Digital Vacuum Gauge Kit. This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your device. Please read it thoroughly before use and keep it for future reference.

The Elitech VGW-Mini is a compact, high-precision digital vacuum gauge designed for HVAC and refrigeration systems. It offers a wide measurement range, intelligent H2O status judgment, and seamless integration with the Elitech Tools App for enhanced functionality and data management.

2. 제품 특징

• APP ELITECH TOOLS (iOS and Android): Integrated app for managing all Elitech tools, including vacuum pumps, digital manifolds, and refrigerant charging scales, for efficient and smart operation.
• 다기능 디자인: Set target values and receive notifications when readings exceed predetermined limits. Data can be recorded and exported in Excel and PDF formats.
• Intelligent H2O Status Judgment: Automatically assesses the physical state of H2O by comparing ambient temperature with the saturation temperature corresponding to the system's vacuum.
• 대형 디스플레이: Continuous digital readings of the evacuation process are easily visible on the wide, full-view LCD 화면.
• Wide Measurement Range & High Accuracy: Used for system leak testing and evaluating vacuum pump quality in HVAC and refrigeration evacuation. Accurate measurements from 19,000 microns (atmosphere) down to 0 microns. Accuracy: ±10% or ±10 Micron.
• Note on Oil Film: An anti-oil film is present inside the product head, which may cause a delay in number display when directly connected to a vacuum pump. It is recommended to remove the oil film when connecting to the vacuum pump and reinstall it when connecting to the system.

4. 설정

Follow these steps to set up your Elitech VGW-Mini for initial use:

1. 장치를 검사하십시오: Ensure the vacuum gauge and all accessories are free from damage. Check that the sealing ring of the vacuum gauge is correctly installed and free of oil residue.
2. 어댑터를 연결하십시오: Attach the 1/4" SAE adapter to the vacuum gauge. Ensure a secure, leak-free connection.
3. 시스템에 연결: Connect the vacuum gauge (with adapter) to your HVAC or refrigeration system's service port.
4. 전원 켜기: Press the power button to turn on the VGW-Mini.
5. 앱 연결(선택 사항): Download the Elitech Tools App from the App Store or Google Play. Follow the in-app instructions to connect your VGW-Mini via Bluetooth for remote monitoring and data export.

5. 사용 설명서

1. 전원 켜기/끄기: 전원 버튼을 3초 동안 길게 눌러 장치를 켜거나 끕니다.
2. 단위 선택: Use the 'MODE' button to cycle through different measurement units (e.g., microns, mTorr, inHg, Pa, Tor, kPa, psia).
3. 진공 측정: Once connected to the system and powered on, the VGW-Mini will display real-time vacuum readings.
4. H2O Status Judgment: The device automatically judges the H2O status by comparing ambient temperature (Tamb) and water saturation temperature (TH2O) corresponding to the system vacuum. The difference (ΔT = Tamb - TH2O) is displayed.
5. 데이터 기록 및 내보내기: Utilize the Elitech Tools App to record data offline and export it in Excel or PDF formats for analysis and reporting.

6. 유지관리

1. 센서 청소: If the vacuum gauge is contaminated with oil, it must be cleaned multiple times with a mineral oil-based cleaning solvent. Inject 2.5ml of solvent into the sensor, shake gently for 10-15 seconds, then shake downwards to remove the solvent. Repeat 2-3 times. Place the vacuum gauge flat for 15 minutes to dry.
2. 배터리 충전: The VGW-Mini is rechargeable. Connect it to a standard USB charger (5V) using the provided cable. The battery indicator on the display will show charging status.
3. 저장: 사용하지 않을 때는 기기를 깨끗하고 건조한 곳에 보관하십시오.

7. 문제 해결

If your vacuum gauge is not displaying values correctly, consider the following:

1. Vacuum Value Increase During Leak Test:
   • A slight, gradual increase in vacuum value is normal due to the high sensitivity of the vacuum gauge and small leaks, as well as partially evacuated water in the tubing. Evaluate if the system vacuum meets requirements by checking if the vacuum value remains stable.
   • If the vacuum value increases continuously and rapidly, it indicates an abnormal phenomenon.
2. No Display or Incorrect Readings:
   • Effective Vacuum Out of Range: If the actual vacuum is outside the measurement range, ensure the system is properly evacuated. Use a vacuum pump with a power greater than 1 HP and connect it directly to the vacuum gauge for evacuation.
   • Damaged Sensor: Use a wrench to unscrew the connector of the vacuum gauge cavity and check if the long strip sensor inside the mesh is intact. If damaged, the device needs repair.
   • Oil Contamination: If the vacuum gauge is contaminated with oil, clean it multiple times with a mineral oil-based cleaning solvent as described in the Maintenance section. After cleaning, connect the vacuum gauge directly to the vacuum pump and evacuate for 15 minutes. It should then function normally.
