Easiest to Use

  • Control panel mounted on a revolving turret — the turret rotates 90 degrees in either direction for unrestricted viewing capability — this eliminates machine repositioning for the technician.
  • Intuitively easy-to-use function input and display:
  • Extra large character (4 x 20) LCD display.
  • Intuitive plain language prompts.
  • Language capability pre-programmed with English, Spanish, French, German. Other foreign languages can be accommodated.
  • EZ-Select menu-driven programming inputs.
  • Conveniently reached keypad with tactile button panel controls.
  • Easy-to-read large face, High and Low pressure gauges.
  • Ergonomic mobility handle – perfect for hose storage and low-effort machine positioning.
  • Low rolling resistance, cushioned, non-inflatable rear wheel/tire assemblies — no-maintenance, provides easy machine handling.

Superior Productivity

  • TechALERT compatible — boosts workshop productivity by remotely signaling the technician when RTI equipment completes automated service operations.
  • Charge capacities data base module available; furnished by MOTOR Information Systems.
  • Technicians can easily determine and upload correct refrigerant and oil charge capacities.
  • Dual stage, 7.0 CFM vacuum pump, large industrial-duty cooling fan, integrated oil change function accelerate operation cycle time.
  • Heavy-duty compressor with true single-pass filtration technology — provides maximum system throughput.

Logical Functionality

  • Fully automatic sequence programmability — instruct the unit to recover, recycle, vacuum, leak test and charge and then go do something else. If equipped, TechALERT notifies you when your service is complete or requires attention.
  • System vacuum level evaluation occurs after refrigeration evacuation cycle to identify possible leaks in automobile system.
  • 30 lb. refrigerant recovery cylinder mounted inside cabinet to minimize load cell re-calibration.
  • Refrigerant charge either High side or Low side depending upon technician’s preference.
  • Monitors new refrigerant use, notifies technician when additional refrigerant is required.
  • Filter-life monitor provides preventive maintenance alarm when filter servicing is required.
  • Automatic air purge eliminates harmful air from auto A/C system.
  • Automatic oil recovery and integrated oil charge bottles are located outside of cabinet for quick reference and easy access.

Superb Accuracy

  • Recovers 95% of auto refrigerant with 30 minutes — minimizes refrigerant loss, saves money.
  • Recharge accuracy is +/– 1/2 ounce — saves money, eliminates call-backs.
  • Load cell technology — measures recovered and charged refrigerant, exceptionally accurate.
  • Oil injection system provides less than 1% cross contamination — crucial when switching servicing from traditional systems to hybrid electric vehicles.

Advanced Serviceability

  • Complete cover assembly quickly removed for unobstructed internal machine access.
  • Unique 2-piece patent-pending KWIK-CHANGE “block” manifold assembly — rapid removal and replacement to remedy most fluid path service issues.
  • All internal components positioned for wide open service accessibility.
  • Replaceable in-line hose screens — exterior accessed for simplified replacement.
  • Lift out document storage pocket exposes refrigerant filter for easy access.
  • External mounted oil recovery and oil charge bottles — no need to open or remove equipment cover.

Proven Reliability

  • Best out-of-box reliability — highest quality, historically proven components are specified: compressor, solenoids, circuit board, switches, wiring, filters, load cells, etc.
  • Electronically controlled pressure regulation protects compressor and other critical components.
  • Pre-assembled, 100% pre-tested patent-pending KWIK-CHANGE “block” manifold assembly eliminates defects before final unit assembly — virtually eliminates all potential leak points.
  • One-piece, through color molded cover provides dent, corrosion, scratch resistance.
  • All equipment is functionally tested before shipment from the RTI factory.
  • Field proven reliability — RTI A/C service machines are specified by the world’s largest service chains, also by tens of thousands of satisfied customers, worldwide.
