YELLOW JACKET Refrigerant Charging Scale 220 lb Portable HVAC Scale — 5 g Resolution, Programmable Remote

YELLOW JACKET's 220 lb programmable refrigerant scale is a portable, high-precision electronic scale built for accurate HVAC charging and recovery of all refrigerant tanks. This refrigerant charging scale combines a durable aluminum platform, a clear backlit LCD remote, and programmable setpoints so technicians can weigh, monitor, and stop charging at exact amounts. With a 100 kg (220 lb) capacity, 5 g resolution, and ±0.05% accuracy, the unit is designed to replace guesswork and reduce over- or under-charging during service calls. Included features such as an audible alert at the setpoint, multiple unit options, and a protective hard case make it practical for field use.

How accurate and reliable is the scale for HVAC charging?

The scale delivers fine-grained measurements with 5 g (0.2 oz) resolution and a stated accuracy of ±0.05% plus 10 g, giving repeatable weight readings across its range. Calibration and overload protections help preserve sensor integrity while the non-slip platform minimizes tank movement for consistent results.

• Capacity: 220 lb (100 kg) maximum
• Resolution: 5 g / 0.2 oz
• Accuracy: ±0.05% + 10 g
• Overload display: "FULL" shown on remote to prevent damage

Can I program charging amounts and units for different refrigerants?

Yes — the scale's remote offers a programmable charging/recovery setpoint so the system beeps at your preset amount, prompting you to stop charging. It supports four unit displays (g, kg, oz, lb) and convenient model switches for metric or imperial workflows.

• 12-button remote control for setpoint entry
• Units: g, kg, oz, lb selectable
• Audible alert when setpoint is reached
• Switch between kg/g and lb/oz modes

What makes this scale durable and field-ready?

The frame uses aluminum alloy to keep the platform both sturdy and lightweight for transport, while rubber non-slip pads prevent tank sliding during weighing. The package includes a waterproof, dustproof hard case to protect the scale and remote during storage and transit.

• Aluminum-alloy construction for strength and portability
• 9" x 9" platform accommodates most recovery tanks
• Non-slip rubber pads reduce tank movement
• Hard protective case resists water and dust

How long does the remote last and is the display easy to read on job sites?

The remote accepts a standard 9V battery (included) and can run up to about 40 hours, with automatic shutoff to preserve battery life. The remote's backlit LCD and 110° bracket angle let you read measurements in low light or place the remote on the ground while you work.

• Includes DV 9V battery for immediate use
• Approximate runtime: up to 40 hours
• Auto backlight off after 10 seconds; hold to keep backlight on
• 110° bracket for hands-free viewing

Who is this for This YELLOW JACKET refrigerant charging scale is intended for HVAC technicians, mobile service contractors, and facility maintenance teams who need precise, repeatable refrigerant measurement on-site. It's especially useful for professionals who service multiple refrigerant types, work in varied lighting conditions, or routinely transport equipment between jobs and want a rugged, programmable scale that reduces charging errors.
