SAFETY WARNINGS
It is extremely important to follow the instructions in this manual. DO NOT attach any hoses or accessories until
prompted by the unit. Improper setup
and failure of the unit will result.
Use only ROBINAIR Designated Replacement Components when servicing

your equipment. Refer to the operators
manual or this service manual for correct replacement part number(s).
Always wear eye protection and protective clothing when working with refrigerants. Refrigerant can cause injury.
Read and follow all warnings in the
operators manual and this service
manual before operating the unit.
When replacing components, make

certain the new parts are connected
exactly as your instruction sheet directs
you to do. If an instruction sheet was
not included, connect the replacement
part just like the original. Mark or label
wire and plumbing disconnections so
replacing the new parts will confirm the
previous configuration.
Disconnect hoses and tubes with extreme caution as they may contain liquid refrigerant under pressure.
Always disconnect the unit from the
power source before making any repairs or replacements to the components. Risk of electrical shock!
Avoid the use of extension cords because the extension cord may overheat.
However, if you must use an extension
cord, the cord must be No. 14 AWG
minimum and should not exceed more
than 25 feet in length.
Always depressurize the machine before servicing or replacing any components.
Pressurized tanks contain liquid refrigerant. Overfilling of the tank may cause
violent explosion and possible injury or
death. Do not recover refrigerants into
a non-refillable storage container. Federal regulations require refrigerants to
be transported only in containers meeting DOT spec. 4BW or DOT spec. 4BA.
Be sure that the refrigerant level in the
tank does not exceed 80% of the tank
volume. Failure to monitor the level
could result in excessive hydrostatic
pressure, causing physical injury or
death.
If scale assembly and UL circuit are not
calibrated, scale can overfill the tank,
causing possible explosion and/or vehicle overcharge.
4
Use this unit only with either R-134a OR

R-12 refrigerant. The user must dedicate the unit to only one type of refrigerant. Do not attempt to adapt the unit for
another refrigerant. Do not mix refrigerant types through a system or in the
same container; mixing of refrigerants
will cause sever damage to the unit and
the vehicle air conditioning system.
Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may cause
personal injury, especially to the eyes,
nose, throat, and lungs. Use the unit in
locations with mechanical ventilation
that provides at least four air changes per
hour. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service.
Keep hands away from moving parts.
Do not use compressed air to pressure
test or leak test the unit or vehicle A/C
system. Some mixtures of air and refrigerant have been shown to be combustible
at elevated pressures. These mixtures
are potentially dangerous and may result
in fire or explosion causing injury or property damage.
Additional health and safety information
may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.

General Information
AC375 FEATURES
The AC375 recovers, recycles, and recharges vehicle refrigerant, quickly and accurately in one simple hookup. It is compatible with existing service equipment and standard service procedures.
The AC375 is configurable to recover, recycle, and recharge either R-134a or R-12 refrigerant. Once configured to R12 or R134a, the unit should be used only with that refrigerant.
Features of the AC375
Oil Drain The display reminds you to drain the
system oil captured during recovery. Graduations
on the container clearly show you how much oil
needs to be replaced.
Oil Inject System prompts user to inject oil
before charge. O-ring on oil reservoir provides
visual reference on graduated container.
Electronic Scale The scale is mounted internally
for protection, and has a dampening mechanism
that protects against impact shocks, such as movement over rough surfaces. The scale weighs recovered refrigerant and charges by weight for
greatest accuracy. NOTE: At idle, the display reflects amount of refrigerant that can be recovered.
Internal Storage Vessel Refrigerant is recovered into and charged out of this vessel, which is
permanently mounted to the electronic scale for
continuing reliability.
Additional Features
High and low side gauges are mounted at an angle
thats easy to read.
Ergonomic Design that makes the cabinet easy to
maneuver.
Robinair Cool Tech vacuum pump for fast, thorough pull-down.
Heavy-duty compressor pulls from both high and
low sides during recovery (when both manifold
valves are open).
Refrigerant recycling meets or exceeds SAE J2210.
Select pounds or kilograms through the menu.
Internal Manifold Block manifold contains solenoids that control refrigerant flow, reducing the
possibility of leaking connections.
Maintenance Prompts System prompts user to
change vacuum pump oil (10 hours) and filter-drier
(150 lbs) when needed.

AC375 MAIN COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS

AIR PURGE ASSEMBLY Assembly containing the air
purge solenoid and control. Used for purging excessive
air from the internal tank.
BASE AND FOOT ASSEMBLY Used to reduce excessive pump vibration.
BREAKER, 7 AMP Protects the unit from drawing to
much current.
CHECK VALVE Allows flow in one direction only.
COMPRESSOR Hermetic compressor moves the refrigerant from the A/C system being serviced into the internal tank on the unit.
COMPRESSOR CAPACITOR Used to start the hermetic compressor. Helps reduce the initial high current
demand required by the compressor on start-up.
COMPRESSOR OIL RETURN ASSEMBLY Removes
the compressor oil from the refrigerant that is leaving the
compressor. The stored oil is returned to the compressor
with a cap tube that provides a constant oil return at a
controlled rate.
COMPRESSOR RELAY Electrically controlled switch
that starts the compressor when energized by the circuit
board.
CONTROL CIRCUIT BOARD Controls the function
of the unit with input from the user.
CONTROL PANEL ASSEMBLY User interface panel
for controlling refrigerant recovery, recycling and recharging.
CONTROL PANEL OVERLAY Affixed to control panel
sheet metal, the overlay is used to identify gauges, displays, and controls.
DIGITAL SCREEN Displays the operational information.
DOOR LATCH KIT Used to replace spring-loaded
latch, retainer, and door latch receptacle.
30
EXPANSION VALVE Meters the flow of refrigerant

into the system oil separator.
FAN, 230V Keeps the hermetic compressors electrical
components cool.
FILTER DRIER Used to remove moisture and particles
from refrigerant. Should be changed every time 150 lbs of
refrigerant is recovered.
GAUGE, HIGH SIDE Monitor high-side pressure of
the vehicle being serviced.
GAUGE, LOW SIDE Monitors low-side pressure of
the vehicle being serviced.
HIGH PRESSURE CUTOUT SWITCH Switch opens
at 363 10 psi (25 .69 bar) and resets at 261 20 psi (18
1.38 bar). If pressure in the high side of the system
exceeds 363 psi (25 bar), the switch opens stopping all
functions.
INTERNAL STORAGE VESSEL (ISV) Storage tank
that the recovered and recycled refrigerant is stored. Vapor, liquid, and air purge access is on-top of tank.
ISV PRESSURE GAUGE Shows the pressure inside
the internal storage vessel.
SOLENOID BLOCK ASSEMBLY Internal block assembly that contains the charge, vacuum and recover solenoids.
KEYPAD Selects, starts, and stops program functions.
MANIFOLD, GAUGE & VALVE ASSEMBLY Manual
valves and gauge assembly that controls the flow of refrigerant to or from the unit.
OIL DRAIN BOTTLE Recovers the used oil during the
oil drain process.
OIL DRAIN VALVE Drains the A/C systems oil into
the oil drain bottle.
OIL INJECT BUTTON Injects new oil into the A/C
system.
ORIFICE, UNION Fitting used to reduce the flow rate.

PANELVALVE, HIGH SIDE Controls the flow between
the A/C systems high side and the unit.
PANEL VALVE, LOW SIDE Controls the flow between
the A/C systems low side and the unit.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE, 350 PSI Spring loaded
safety valve use to releases pressure from internal tank
assembly if pressure exceeds 350 psi.
Parts & Components
VACUUM PUMP 220V oilless pump designed to remove moisture and air from an A/C system.
VACUUM PUMP RELAY Electrically controlled switch
that starts the vacuum pump when energized by the circuit board.
VALVE & GAUGE MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY Opens a
path between the A/C system and the AC375 for refrigerant flow, vacuum, and oil injection. Includes gauges for
both high and low-side vacuum and pressure readings.
QUICK SEAL 1/4 FL X 1/4 NPT Used for connecting

tank hoses to the ISV.
SCALE ASSEMBLY Measures the amount of refrigerant being charged and recovered.
SIGHTGLASS Used to view vacuum pump oil level.
SOLENOID (1), RECOVERY When energized, allows
refrigerant to be removed from the system being serviced.
SOLENOID (2), VACUUM When energized, opens to
allow a vacuum to be pulled on the A/C system being
serviced.
SOLENOID (3), CHARGE When energized, allows refrigerant from ISV to enter the vehicle.
SOLENOID (4), AIR PURGE Intermittently energized
to allow excessive air to be removed from the internal tank.
SWITCH ON/OFF Allows the unit to be turned ON
and OFF.
SYSTEM OIL SEPARATOR Heat exchanger with highside coils that provide internal heat to the canister causing saturated vapor and accumulated liquid refrigerants
to evaporate. This process prevents liquid refrigerant
from entering the compressor and separates the refrigerant oil.
TEMPERATURE/PRESSURE CHART Displays what
the pressure of a refrigerant will be at a given temperature.

of the circuit board.
3. Check if the 7 amp circuit breaker (located on

back of unit) has tripped.
If tripped, reset the circuit breaker.
If breaker trips after reset and AC power has
tested good, the circuit breaker needs to be replaced.
If breaker trips again after being replaced, turn
off unit and unplug connector P3 from the circuit board. Turn unit on. If the breaker
doesnt trip, check all components connected
to P3 (all solenoids, vacuum relay and vacuum
pump, compressor relay and compressor.)
If the breaker trips when connector P3 is disconnected from the circuit board, check the following components for shorts: fan, compressor relay, pump relay, power switch, and wiring.
If circuit breaker is not tripped, unplug unit and
check the circuit breaker for continuity. Replace if necessary.
3. Verify that all circuit board harnesses are properly connected. A harness may be connected to
the appropriate connector, but off by one pin.
4. Check the 2-amp fuse (F1) on the circuit board.
If fuse has blown, replace fuse and recheck.
5. If the unit fails to power-up after replacing the main
circuit board; or the 2-amp fuse (F1) blows again,
the cause may be related to a malfunctioning component connected to the board. To isolate the
problem,
Turn off unit and unplug connector P3 from the
circuit board. Turn unit on. If the unit turns
on, check all components connected to P3 (all
solenoids, vacuum relay and vacuum pump,

High Pressure Cutout Switch (RA19869)

The high pressure cutout is a normally closed sensor designed to shut off the unit if the discharge pressure
reaches 363 10 psi (25 .69 bar). The switch will
reset and close at 261 20 psi (18 .69 bar).
The pressure is detected through an orifice in the
base of the sensor. In the normal setting (less than 363
psi on the orifice), the 1 and 3 contacts are closed. When
363 psi is introduced to the orifice, the pressure forces
up the drive pin, which then forces the center contact to
disengage the 1 and 3 contacts and engage the 1 and 2
contacts. When this happens, the unit halts operation
and displays the HIGH PRESSURE message on the
display.
Troubleshooting the High Pressure Cutout
High Pressure Cutout discontinues operation
prematurely.

Pump Return Procedure

SUBJECT:
EQUIP. AFFECTED: All Robinair Cool Tech Pumps
ACTION REQUIRED: Mandatory All Service Centers
00184-IN
NO:
March, 2004
DATE:
AUTHOR: S. Parde
New procedures are now required before replacing the entire Cool Tech pump assembly. It must first be
determined if either the motor side or pump side has malfunctioned. To do this, the motor must be separated
from the pump by removing the four (4) motor attachment screws used to secure the motor to the pump.
When the two sections are separated, the motor coupler and pump coupler will
disengage each other. Make certain not to lose the rubber bushing between
these two couplers. Grasp hold of the motor coupler with your hand
and try to turn the motor coupling clockwise several turns. If the motor
coupling turns clockwise, then try to turn the motor coupling counterclockwise. If the motor turns freely both ways, plug the motor into
an outlet (115V) and verify the motor is functional. If the motor is
functional, it can be assumed that the pump side has seized. If the
motor coupling does not turn, or the motor does not run when power
is applied, the motor is bad. Note on the warranty call text whether
the motor was locked or the pump was locked. Replace the pump and
complete the warranty claim form according to standard procedures.
