1. Connect the gauge to the A34000 tee fitting on
the high (liquid) side of the manifold as shown.
2. Install the Temperature Sensor on the liquid line
next to the liquid service valve and plug into
gauge.
3. For system refrigerants other than R-22, plug in
the matching Refrigerant Key into the gauge.
4. Toggle the gauge display to show
SUBCOOLING.
5. Very slowly add or remove refrigerant until the
gauge displays the required Subcooling value.
SUPERHEAT TEST
2. Plug in the Temperature Sensor and mount the
sensor as shown.
3. Toggle the display to show Superheat or
Subcooling.

WET BULB TEMPERATURE OF EVAPORATOR ENTERING AIR
1. Turn on with zero pressure. Gauge will automatically calibrate to
“Zero” for altitude and atmospheric pressure changes.
2. Wet the sock with water and slip on to sensor. Mount on the
building return air grill or air return line of blower to measure the
Indoor Wet Bulb temperature.
3. Turn on the furnace fan to create a flow of air across the wet sock
for 5 minutes. The final number will be your Wet Bulb Temperature.
OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE
1. Remove sock and measure the
Outdoor Air Temperature.
B C
1. Find the outdoor temperature and evaporator entering air wet-
bulb temperature on chart. The target superheat value is at the
intersection of the two.
If you have to do repairs, recheck your temperatures.
2. Make your connections and toggle the gauge to show SUPERHEAT.
For system refrigerants other than R22, plug in matching Refrigerant
Key.
3. Very slowly add or refrigerant to lower superheat or remove
refrigerant to raise superheat until the gauge displays the target
value.
