3.7Refrigerant Management System
The MAC2000’s Refrigerant Management System tracks all aspects of refrigeration usage, which can significantly help in the management of an A/C repair business. In addition, the unit’s software allows a business to meet new federal regulations requiring strict records of refrigerant usage.
Refrigerant measurement during charging is extremely accurate. In the recovery mode, however, accuracy is plus or minus 3 ounces based on variations in air temperature and pressure.
Uses of the refrigerant data include:
•Improved record keeping
•Accurate determination of net profits for your business
•Reduced billing errors
•Minimized refrigerant loss from leaks and theft
•Reduced technician errors

From the Main menu, press the Next menu function key twice to display Menu 3; then press Refri Data to select the Refrigerant Management Mode.
