YELLOW JACKET HVAC Refrigerant Charging Scale 220 lb (100 kg) – Remote LCD, 5 g Precision, Aluminum Platform

The YELLOW JACKET 220 LBS HVAC Freon Scale is a high-precision refrigerant charging and recovery scale with a 220 lb capacity, remote LCD readout, robust aluminum platform, and a hard carrying case for safe transport.

Designed for HVAC technicians and service professionals, this charging scale delivers accurate, repeatable weight measurements for refrigerant tanks up to 100 kg. Built with a durable aluminum frame, non-slip platform, and a detachable remote display with a 110° bracket, the scale supports multiple units of measure and offers protections like over-capacity warning, auto-shutoff, and a long-lasting power setup for field work.

How precise is this refrigerant scale for charging and recovery?

The YELLOW JACKET charging scale provides fine-grain results suitable for precise refrigerant management. It reads with a resolution of 5 g (0.2 oz) and an accuracy of ±0.05% plus 10 g, allowing confident measurement for both charging and recovery tasks.

• Maximum capacity: 220 lbs (100 kg)
• Resolution: 5 g / 0.2 oz for fine adjustments
• Accuracy: ±0.05% reading + 10 g
• Selectable units: g, kg, oz, lb for flexible workflows

What features protect the scale and make it practical on the job?

Several built-in safeguards and convenience features extend the scale’s service life and usability in field conditions. The remote display alerts when capacity is exceeded, auto-powers down to save battery, and has configurable backlight behavior to suit dark environments.

• Over-capacity display reads "FULL" to prevent sensor damage
• Auto shutoff after 10 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery
• Backlight auto-off after 10 seconds; hold button to lock backlight on
• Includes 9V battery with up to ~40 hours runtime

How durable and transportable is the scale for field HVAC work?

The scale is constructed from an aluminum alloy frame for a lightweight yet rugged platform, while a 9" x 9" non-slip top keeps tanks stable during weighing. A hard, water- and dust-resistant case is included so you can safely carry and store the unit between jobs.

• Aluminum alloy construction for strength and reduced weight
• 9" x 9" platform with rubber pads to prevent tank sliding
• Waterproof, dustproof hard case for secure transport and storage
• Remote LCD with 110° bracket frees your hands and improves visibility

What practical controls and displays does it offer for fast workflows?

The scale uses a clear LCD remote with four-button operation for straightforward use in the field. The readable display and simple controls let technicians zero, change units, and hold weights quickly, improving speed and reducing the chance of error during service calls.

• Four-button control panel: easy zero, unit select, hold, and backlight
• Remote display angle up to 110° for optimal visibility
• Weight hold function for capturing transient measurements
• Compatible with all refrigerants and varied tank sizes

Who this is for: HVAC service technicians, refrigeration contractors, and facilities maintenance teams who need a reliable, precise scale for refrigerant charging and recovery. It is suited to professionals who value portability, accuracy, and rugged construction for frequent field use. If you require consistent readings, durable hardware, and a transport-ready solution, this YELLOW JACKET scale is engineered to match those needs without extra complexity.
