Operational Benefits

The Mastercool 98315 is designed for ease of use and durability. Its wireless connectivity ensures seamless communication between the platform and monitor, with a clear “SYNC” process to re-establish connection if needed. The scale’s high-resolution sensor provides precise weight readings, which are critical for maintaining system efficiency and compliance with refrigerant regulations. The solenoid valve enhances automation, reducing manual intervention and minimising errors during charging.

The programmable features allow technicians to set specific refrigerant amounts, pause operations, and repeat charges without reprogramming, saving time on repetitive tasks. The tank capacity function helps monitor refrigerant levels, preventing overfilling or running out mid-job. With a sturdy platform that supports 110 kg, this scale handles all standard cylinders, making it versatile for various HVAC applications.

Applications

Ideal for professional HVAC and refrigeration technicians, the Mastercool 98315 excels in:

• Charging refrigerants in air conditioning and refrigeration systems
• Recovering refrigerants with push-pull or vapour/liquid methods
• Vacuuming lines for system preparation
• Monitoring tank levels during service and maintenance

Ease of Setup and Calibration

Setting up the Mastercool 98315 is straightforward. Install batteries (9V for monitor, 6 AA for platform), place the platform on a flat surface, and power on both units. The scale auto-zeroes after a 3-second delay, or press TARE/ENTER for manual zeroing. Synchronisation is simple—press the SYNC button on both the platform and monitor to establish a connection, confirmed by a “good” display.

Calibration is user-friendly, using a standard weight to ensure accuracy. The process involves selecting the unit (kg or lb), placing the calibration weight, and adjusting the display to match. The scale’s robust design ensures long-term reliability, with low-battery indicators to prompt timely replacements.
