EZ-Ject
AC&R Dye Injection System
™
For small to medium AC&R systems, including high-pressure R-410A systems!
For best inspection results, use a high-intensity Spectroline
and wear fluorescence-enhancing glasses to protect your eyes and to make leaks clearly visible.
Lamp Operation
z
To Operate the SPE-HVL-CS violet light LED Leak
Detection Flashlight: Insert 3 AAA batteries (included).
Press the button in the end cap once to turn the lamp on.
Press it again to turn the lamp off.
z
To Replace Batteries: Twist the end cap
counterclockwise to open. Remove the battery carousel.
z
Do not connect the dye injector to a system when
it is in a vacuum.
z
The system must contain enough refrigerant to
operate the compressor and circulate the dye in
order to find leaks.

EZ-Ject hose assemblies must be purged and fully charged with dye before they are used.
1.
Completely unscrew the handle on the EZ-Ject and
screw the dye cartridge into the handle unit.
2. Holding the cartridge vertically with the small cap on
top, remove the cap and screw the cartridge firmly to
the check valve on the hose assembly.
3. Insert the adapter/purge fitting into the quick coupler
on the hose.
4. Turn the handle to advance the plunger until a small
amount of dye exits the assembly. Remove the
adapter/purge fitting. The hose assembly is now
purged, ready for use and will remain full of dye.
NOTE: If the dye charge is lost, repeat steps 3 and 4.
5. Connect the low-loss fitting to the low-side service
port on the AC&R system. Do not connect the dye
injector to a system that is evacuated.
NOTE: Use a rag when connecting and removing the
coupler due to system pressure.
6. Turn the handle to inject the dye. See "Dye Dose" to
determine the recommended dosage. If excessive
resistance is met, the valve core in the service port is
IMPORTANT!

Warranty:
To review the warranty policy:
z
Wear protective glasses or goggles while working
on any AC&R system.

NOTE: Prior to injecting dye into any HVAC/R
system, inspect service port(s) and valve cores
for damage, and open any supplemental hand or
solenoid valves.

not fully depressed. Check that the low-loss fitting is
completely threaded onto the service port.
7.
Disconnect the low-loss fitting from the service port
and wipe both clean.
8. Run small AC&R systems for 15 to 30 minutes, or
longer for larger systems, to circulate the dye.
9. Inspect possible leak areas with the lamp. Leaks will
show with a bright glow. The fluorescence will be
brightest under low light conditions.
10. Large leaks will show immediately. To find smaller
leaks, operate the AC&R system over the next 24 to
48 hours and reinspect.
11. After the leaks are repaired, clean the remaining
dye from the leak sites with GLO-AWAY™ Plus or
a shop cleaner. Check with the lamp to be sure all
dye residue is removed. Residual dye could give a
false leak indication. Run the AC&R system another
5 to 10 minutes and reinspect with the lamp. No glow
means that all leaks have been repaired.
