MAC2000 Introduction
1 Introduction
Important! These instructions are for qualified personnel, trained and
experienced in the handling of refrigerants. Federal and state laws
may require the licensing of refrigerant handling personnel. Failure to
follow proper operating procedures may cause personal injury and
equipment damage
The Bacharach Test System’s Mobile Air Conditioning MAC2000 is
the most advanced refrigerant management system on the market
today. It is a complete automotive A/C service tool that will identify,
recover, recycle, flush and troubleshoot automotive R-134a A/C
systems in a fully automatic manner.
A large liquid crystal diode (LCD) display screen prompts the
technician for input and displays system status. An internal 30 pound
recovery tank and electronic scale ensure convenient refrigerant
storage and accurate refrigerant management.
Upon power up, the unit performs a self-test and, if necessary, a self-
evacuation routine. The technician may then select the specific
function required for the job. During operation, the MAC2000 checks
for error conditions and alerts the technician if any exist.
The entire service procedure can be done with one hook-up to the
vehicle. A built-in refrigerant identifier checks for contaminated
refrigerant prior to recovery. Pressures are shown on the high and low
side gauges, and other operating information is shown on the screen.
Refrigerant is recovered into and charged out of an internal storage
tank. The MAC2000 unit automatically refills this tank with
refrigerant from an external source tank as needed in order to
maintain a constant 12–15 lbs (5.45–6.82kg) of refrigerant available
for charging. One quick connection is all that’s needed to replace the
source tank when it is empty.
Other time saving features include automatic air purge, single pass
recycling, and automatic oil drain. The unit also automatically clears
refrigerant from its high- and low-side hoses after every job. A red
light on top of the unit flashes whenever a process is complete or when
the unit needs attention from the technician.
The MAC2000 is ETL listed to UL standards and meets SAE
specifications for recycled refrigerant.
