ASC A/C service units have, over the years, gained a firm place in motor garages and air conditioning workshops.
This is because they have the right quality and all it takes to make service work on automotive air conditioners
a profitable and safe business. NEW: ASC G-series with integrated USB interface
With this philosophy in mind we have created the new G-series, which is even more user-friendly. All models of this series come All A/C service units of the new ASC G-series are supplied with an integrated USB interface. This makes updates of
standard with a USB connection. That means that system software and databases can simply be updated with a USB stick and databases and system software easier, and it also facilitates the documentation of important service data. The amount of
important service data can be retrieved. recovered or charged refrigerant, for example, can simply be exported to a USB stick and then further processed on a
laptop or PC.

Our tip!
ALSO GREAT AS DIAGNOSIS TOOL
The ASC 2500 G Low Emission integrates all refrigerant bearing components on the weighing platform. That means the
complete amount of refrigerant contained in the unit can be recorded and the amount of the recovered refrigerant can be
exactly determined. This in turn will tell the operator about potential leaks in the A/C system. The accurate diagnosis
function of the ASC 2500 G Low Emission is also very useful with regard to decreasing refrigerant charging amounts on
modern-day vehicles. In the compact car segment we already see models with charging amounts of less than 300 g (e.g.
Daihatsu Cuore). Older A/C service units won’t be able to charge these systems with the required accuracy. Excessive or
insufficient charging, though, would entail major problems.

of PAG oil this translates to a mere 0.15 ml (i.e. less than a drop of oil). That said, it won’t be enough to just hook on the service
hoses and flood the system with refrigerant, as is common practice with some service units available in the market. Refrigerant
lines, magnetic valves and service hoses will always contain residual oil, which can lead to cross
contamination and dangerous high-voltage exposure.
