The procedure we use for topping off a R-134a system that may be a bit low is to attach the gauge set, start the engine and then make note of the outside temperature. Then reference the temperature vs pressure chart to see what the expected high and low normal pressures should be and add refrigerant to get the system within these ranges. As a final test we measure the duct outlet temperatures to determine if the A/C is functioning correctly.
