Air conditioner installation help


Air conditioner installation help?
I'm an electrician working in Portugal. I sometimes install split A/C units. One thing I have difficulty with is gassing up. I have all the needed equipment but don't full understand how to work out how much PSI of gas is needed. Samsung say 120-135 PSI at 35deg ambient outside temp. Is there a way of finding out the temp. and PSI using guage manifold. Cheers. Alan.
