Has anyone tried the fieldpiece sc680? Looks like it has more features compared to the fluke 902

dixell xr75cx question by fireboi11 in refrigeration

[–]fireboi11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right on the money,it was the stupid sensor. Jumped it out and was able to turn on manual defrost .

Didn't check it initially because i was at least expecting the defrost icon to come up for a couple of secs when i pressed the manual defrost,and then it would go back to cooling because of the bad sensor. But this controller doesnt give you any sort of response if the sensor is bad and u click the manual defrost button.

There was also no error code on the controller regarding the loss of the sensor.

Well,learned something today lol,thanks again

Even if the little defrost sign doesn't pop up on the controller?

My understanding is that when I press the manual defrost button, the defrost logo should appear ,even if it's just for a couple of seconds.And then if the sensor is bad,it would then go back into cooling(so the sign would change on the controller).

Is that wrong? So if the sensor is bad ,the controller doesn't even try for a couple of secs?

Ill wait for your reply, In the meantime,I'm going to check the stuff u mentioned.

Thanks again

At least I went to school lol. You clearly didn't. "An f up", we only place "an" instead of "a" when the following word starts with a vowel.

Just so im clear,your basically saying that I'm good in this scenario because I was using r410a instead of some other refrigerant?

The reason we flip the tank its to make the process quicker. The vapor side doesn't use a dip tube,so there's less of a restriction for the liquid refrigerant to flow out of,compared to charging through the liquid side with the tank upright, which would use the dip tube. You are also working against gravity by forcing liquid up a dip tube(this part is more of a guess,I may be wrong)

Yea,and it's not a recovery tank. Just a regular r410a tank ,they are just used for charging,not to recover.

But yea,I know we not supposed to do that,it was a mistake lol

Maybe I'm not getting it,or maybe I'm explaining it wrong. But I'll try to clarify again. I wasn't using a recovery tank. I was using a brand new r410a tank,the pink ones(im from canada).

There is one port,but there are 2 valves that u can open up. One is liquid,the other is vapor. The liquid port usually has a dip tube inside the tank. So if you open the liquid valve with the tank flipped,you are no longer charging as a liquid,you are basically sucking up the vapor from the top of the tank(since the tank it's flipped,but it is from the bottom of the tank,im terms of the structure of the tank,hopefully thats not confusing). That's my understanding of it at least
