RTI Technologies introduces Arctic Pro RHS 980H

RTI Technologies, a Bosch Group Company, introduces the first independently certified J2788H “high voltage addendum” A/C service machine to address the challenges of back-to-back A/C servicing between hybrid/electric and conventionally powered automobiles.

Compared to SAE J2788 non-addendum certified machines, the ArcticPRO RHS980H was specifically engineered to service either automobiles equipped with high-voltage electric drive A/C compressor systems or conventional drive compressor systems without compromising vehicle function and technician safety.

The J2788 high-voltage addendum certification is critical because it ensures the A/C service technician will be able to properly service both hybrid and non-hybrid vehicles without fear of compromising vehicle safety systems from oil contamination. The SAE J2788 H addendum specifically mandates the absence of on-board oil injection and the inclusion of a service hoses flush feature to prevent system oil cross-contamination greater than 1000 PPM between services on certified equipment.

The RHS 980H now joins the RHS 980 and RHS 980C in RTI’s ArcticPRO line of A/C service equipment. The RHS 980 is industry known for superior A/C service performance, functionality and customization capability and the RHS 980C builds upon this by adding an integrated printer, micron vacuum sensor, relative humidity sensor and temperature probes to give it total vehicle A/C system predictive performance and full-diagnostics capability.
