The TAP must not be used for anything other than the below-stated purposes.

The TAP should not be exposed to moisture or used in damp or wet environments.

Remove refrigerants from the TAP and the hoses after use.

Purpose and use

The TAP has been developed for measuring pressure and temperature in both mobile

and stationary refrigeration equipment.

TAP is only designed for temporary measurement, don`t use it as a stationary long term

measurement unit.

Maintenance

• A visual inspection of the connections and hoses must be

carried out before each use to check for mechanical damage.

• Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or solvents to clean the

device. Gentle household cleaners and soapy water should be

used instead.

• TAP seals are subject to mechanical and age-related wear. The-

refore, the TAP should be regularly tested by the user for leaks.
