Look at the pointer on each gauge and the number it is pointing to is the pressure in psig. Under the pointer and below the pressure scale on the face of the gauge are 3 or 4 different colored temperature scales. Each color refers to a particular refrigerant. Determine which refrigerant you are using and the number in that scale is the corresponding saturation temperature at the pressure you are operating at. For example R-22 (light Green scale) at 70 psig = 40*F saturation temp.
With AC pressure gauges and manifold assembly. This is best done by a professional.
You need someone with a set of AC manifold gauges to attach to the Hi and Low service ports and monitor the pressures to determine how much if any freon is needed.
The R134a professional manifold gauge or gauges uses three hoses that each connect to the low and high ports of an AC system. The remaining hose connects to the can refrigerant. Use the gauges to check for leaks and see how refrigerant is need to refill the freon.
You need more than a diagram. You'll need a manifold gauge set, and the know-how to determine what the numbers on the gauges are indicating is wrong with your AC system.
jump a hot wire downt to it with it running with gauges on it and read the readings.
To check Freon levels in an air conditioning system, you typically use a set of manifold gauges. Connect the gauges to the service ports on the AC unit: the low-pressure side (usually a blue hose) and the high-pressure side (usually a red hose). Once connected, read the pressure gauges; compare the readings to the manufacturer's specifications to determine if the Freon levels are adequate. If the pressure is too low, it may indicate a refrigerant leak or insufficient charge.
Go to autozone and get a manifold vacuum ac gauge for R134a. Ofcoarse, also pick up a can of R134a. Hook up the gauges to the valves on the AC hoses. Add the refrigerant but watch the pressure on the gauge!! Any good manual will tell you the max pressure for the system.
To connect a vacuum pump to an AC system, first ensure the system is properly evacuated of refrigerant and all service valves are closed. Attach a set of manifold gauges to the service ports on the AC unit, then connect the vacuum pump to the center port of the manifold using a suitable vacuum hose. Open the valves on the manifold to allow the vacuum pump to draw air and moisture from the system. Once the vacuum reaches the desired level (usually around 25-30 inches of mercury), close the manifold valves and turn off the vacuum pump.

You need gauges to properly charge it.
You need gauges to repair AC.
