This specialized blend includes unique additives for hybrid A/C systems, ensuring high dielectric qualities critical for the safety and longevity of electrically driven compressors and other high-voltage components.
• OEM Approved Dye: The dye formulation meets OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) standards, ensuring compatibility and reliability with a wide range of hybrid vehicles.
• Single-Dose Cartridges: Each kit includes three 0.03 oz (1 ml) Tracer-Stick single-dose cartridges, individually wrapped in moisture-resistant foil pouches with a desiccant bag. This packaging prevents moisture contamination, preserving the dye’s purity and effectiveness until use.
• Multi-Vehicle Service: Each kit is capable of servicing up to three vehicles, providing excellent value and readiness for multiple applications.
• R-134a System Compatibility: Comes complete with an R-134a low-side connect set, including a hose/coupler with a check valve and purge fitting, ensuring direct compatibility and easy integration with standard R-134a A/C systems.
• Simplified Injection Process: Designed for efficiency, the kit allows for the addition of fluorescent dye and refrigerant in one simple step, facilitating quick and precise application whether the A/C system is off or running.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Included in the Kit:
• (3) TP3811-P3 0.03 oz (1 ml) Tracer-Stick® single-dose Hybrid/Ester dye cartridges
• 107472 Service fitting for gauge manifold or recovery unit
• TP-9847 R-134a hose/coupler and purge fitting
• 123559 Purge capsule

HOW TO USE:

1. Prepare the System: Ensure the hybrid vehicle’s A/C system is accessible and you have the necessary safety equipment, including a UV leak detection light and amber glasses, ready for post-injection inspection.
2. Connect the Hose: Attach the R-134a low-side connect hose/coupler (TP-9847) to the low-side service port of the vehicle’s A/C system.
3. Insert Dye Cartridge: Open one of the moisture-resistant foil pouches and carefully insert a single-dose Tracer-Stick® Hybrid/Ester dye cartridge (TP3811-P3) into the clear tube of the injection hose.
4. Connect to Refrigerant Source: Connect the service fitting (107472) to your gauge manifold or A/C recovery/recharge unit’s R-134a line.
5. Purge Air (if necessary): Use the purge capsule (123559) and purge fitting to remove any air from the hose assembly before introducing it to the A/C system.
6. Inject Dye and Refrigerant: Slowly open the valve on the low-side coupler to allow the A/C system’s vacuum or refrigerant pressure to draw in the dye from the cartridge, followed by the refrigerant. The dye and refrigerant are injected simultaneously in one step.
7. Run A/C System: Once injected, run the vehicle’s A/C system for a minimum of 15–20 minutes to allow the dye to circulate thoroughly throughout the system.
8. Inspect for Leaks: After circulation, use a UV leak detection lamp and amber glasses to scan all A/C components, hoses, and connections. Leaks will appear as bright fluorescent yellow-green glows at the point of leakage.

BENEFITS OF USING TRACERLINE HYBRID VEHICLE A/C DYE INJECTION KIT (TP3812-BX):

• Enhanced Safety for Hybrid Systems: The high dielectric properties of the specialized ester dye are paramount for safely identifying leaks in hybrid vehicle A/C systems, protecting their sensitive high-voltage electrical compressors and components from conductivity issues.
• Accurate and Reliable Leak Detection: Provides a precise visual indication of even small or intermittent leaks, improving diagnostic accuracy and reducing guesswork, leading to more effective repairs.
• Maintains System Integrity: By quickly identifying and allowing for repair of leaks, the kit helps prevent refrigerant loss, maintain optimal A/C performance, and reduce stress on the A/C compressor, extending the lifespan of the system.
• Cost-Effective Solution: Early leak detection prevents more significant, costlier repairs down the line that can result from prolonged refrigerant loss and component damage.
• User-Friendly Application: The straightforward, single-step injection process simplifies the leak detection procedure, making it accessible for both professional technicians and experienced DIY enthusiasts.
