1. General safety instructions
The ROCOOL 600 must be used only by expert personnel certified according to country-specific
standards.
Before first use, read this operating manual thoroughly to prevent improper use.
The ROCOOL 600 must be used only with the refrigerants indicated below. Other gases or fluids
must never be used with the ROCOOL 600.
Do not use or store the unit in environments that are not within the working temperature range.
Protect the ROCOOL 600 from rain or other external liquids.
Never exceed the manifold's maximum pressure of 60 bar. This could irreparably damage the
sensors. There is also a danger of the sight glass breaking, which may injure the user.
During all work, make sure to wear personal protection gear that includes safety gloves and safety
glasses.
Avoid dropping the ROCOOL 600 from big heights
Do not overtighten the valves. This permanently reduces the valves' seal.
Connect only original Rothenberger accessories (external vacuum probe, Red Box) to the ROCOOL
600.

mation, and the Delete key (7) to go to the previous step.
• Not pressing any key for 5 seconds automatically takes you back to the overview screen.
• From the settings menu, you can change the following parameters:
• Refrigerants
• Pressure display
• Temperature display
• Interval of recording
• Ambient temperature display or T2-T1
• T1 / T2 or overheating / undercooling display
