Another use of a IR temp gun... shoot the end 180 degree tubes on the AC condenser and when all but a couple of the bottom ones are about the same temp as the top ones, you have put in enough freon in the system.
On a system that is only working OK you can do the same to see if it needs a little more freon. You want the fins/tubes on top 80+ percent of the condenser hotter than the bottom ones. If only half of the condenser is hotter you are loosing a lot of cooling capability. Even my 42' DP only takes three pounds of freon.
