What must be done after securing the refrigerant system on an A/C leak?

After securing the refrigerant system on an A/C leak, it is essential to wait for "System Secured" to flash on the panel. This indication serves as a confirmation that the system has effectively been isolated and is no longer operational, which is crucial for ensuring the safety of personnel and the environment. The panel's alert helps to provide a visual assurance that all necessary shutdown procedures have been executed correctly, preventing any accidental re-engagement of the system that could lead to further issues or exposure to refrigerants.

It is important to follow this confirmation step before proceeding with any additional actions, such as conducting inspections or notifying other personnel. Ensuring that the system is secured provides a safe baseline from which to assess and address the leak. Without this confirmation, any further steps could potentially compromise safety or result in complications during the repair process.
