Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the REFCO TAP, Temperature And Pressure gauge.
The REFCO TAP wireless digital pressure and temperature gauge is an user friendly
instrument to measure temperature and pressure form the low and high sides of air
conditioning and refrigeration systems.
Features:
- Quick and easy connection to pressure source and temperature measuring point.
- The wireless K-type temperature clamp, equipped with digital display, is applicable for
pipe diameters 6 mm to 41 mm (1/4" to 1-5/8").
- Measurements and calculation of superheat or subcooling can be shown on pressure
gauge display and / or on your mobile device.
- Up to 6 TAP devices can be monitored on your mobile device.
- Create report and send by e-mail to your office.
- Uses common AAA batteries.
- TAP is available in a suitable case either as single or double set.
FCC Part 15.19 Warning Statement
THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES. OPERATION
IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS: (1) THIS DEVICE MAY
NOT CAUSE HARMFUL INTERFERENCE, AND (2) THIS DEVICE MUST
ACCEPT ANY INTERFERENCE RECEIVED, INCLUDING INTERFERENCE THAT
MAY CAUSE UNDESIRED OPERATION.

FCC Part 15.105 Warning Statement
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
—Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
—Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
—Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
—Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
RF warning statement:
The device has been evaluated to meet general RF exposure requirement. The device
can be used in portable exposure condition without restriction.

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

Calibration
The accuracy of all measuring devices will degrade over time. Calibration improves the
accuracy of the TAP. On this device temperature and pressure can be re-calibrated.
Temperature calibration can be done using two procedures: calibration using ice water
as reference or by using room temperature as reference.
Calibration of temperature clamp
Risk of short circuit. If the electronic components come into contact with
water, short circuits are possible. Don`t dunk the temperature clamp below
max. water level. (See figure below)
Ice water calibration (0 °C / 32 °F)
Risk of short circuit. If the electronic components come into contact with
water, short circuits are possible. Dunk the temperature clamp below max.
water level as shown.
1. Prepare ice water:
Take your time, use lots of ice and stir water often. It can take
up to 15 minutes for the ice water temperature to settle exactly
at 0.0 °C / 32.0 °F Use separate accurate thermometer to
verify water temp.
For best results use an insulated cup, do not let the sensor
tips touch any ice cubes, only the ice water in the top 2-3 cm
of the ice bath after +/- 15 min. Do not touch or hold the
sensor wires.
