YELLOW JACKET, the leader in service tools for HVAC/R professionals, has released the 37840 (for R-134a) and 37860 (for R-1234yf) Refrigerant Management Systems (RMS) for automotive A/C systems. Both feature an exciting new wireless, touch-button, user-friendly interface.

The new advanced interface features a full-color, wireless, portable, touch button control tablet. This easy-to-use interface walks auto mechanics quickly through each step of servicing a vehicle’s A/C system -- recovery/recycle/evacuate/recharge – to bring a vehicle’s A/C system back to factory specifications. For further efficiency, the portability of the control tablet enables the technician to work on one car while monitoring another, or use the tablet for alternate business purposes all-together.

The new interface also allows for real-time remote support from YELLOW JACKET. All that’s required is a wireless connection, which allows YELLOW JACKET to remotely access the machine and conduct any needed analysis or provide the technician with guidance on how to utilize the system. The technician does not even need to be near the machine.

Want to add efficiency and productivity to your shop but not ready for R-1234yf? Purchase the 37840 for R-134a use today and an optional conversion kit at a later date that will convert this machine to R-1234yf. So when business commands the servicing of R-1234yf a/c systems, the shop will be ready for it. For further cost savings, the refrigerant identifier required for the 37860 is optional so existing identifiers can be used.

“YELLOW JACKET has a long-standing tradition of building HVAC/R equipment and tools based on the demanding challenges faced by HVAC and automotive technicians,” said Tom Ritchie, President of Ritchie Engineering, the manufacturer of YELLOW JACKET brand HVAC/R equipment and tools.  “We believe in designing products around the way technicians actually work. That’s why it’s so important to us to make our products, like the new interface for the 37840 and 37860, easy to use.”

Made in the U.S.A., the YELLOW JACKET RMS 37840 and 37860 Series feature a 95% efficiency rating, a one-year parts and labor warranty, and lifetime technical support with purchase.
