Using the product

Automatic mode
The manifold automatically detects the pressure difference between the lowpressure and high-pressure sides. If the measured pressure on the low pressure side is 1 bar higher than on the high pressure side, a dialogue appears and the display can be changed accordingly. If “yes” is selected, the low pressure moves from left to right and the high pressure moves from right to left. This mode is particularly suitable for air conditioning systems that provide cooling and heating.

Measuring mode
WARNING Risk of injury caused by refrigerant that is under high pressure, hot, cold, or toxic! > Wear protective goggles and safety gloves. > Before applying pressure to the measuring instrument: Always fasten the
measuring instrument on the suspension hook to prevent it from falling (danger of breakage). > Before each measurement, check the refrigerant hoses are intact and connected properly. Do not use any tools to connect the hoses; only tighten hoses hand-tight (max. torque 5.0 Nm/3.7 ft*lb). > Comply with the permissible measuring range (-1 to 60 bar/-14.7 to 870 psi). Pay particular attention to this in systems with R744 refrigerant, since these are frequently operated at higher pressures!

Refrigeration
The Refrigeration application is used to determine the following system measuring values: · High pressure · Low pressure · Refrigerant evaporating temperature · Refrigerant condensation temperature · Temperature of suction line · Temperature of liquid line · Superheating · Subcooling
An NTC temperature probe (accessory) must be connected for measuring the pipe temperature and for automatic calculation of superheating and subcooling.

With zeotropic refrigerants, the evaporation temperature to/Ev is displayed after complete evaporation/the condensation temperature tc/Co is displayed after complete condensation. The measured temperature must be assigned to the superheating or subcooling side (toh <–> tcu). Dependent on this assignment, the display will show toh/T1 resp. toh/SH or tcu/T2 resp. tcu/SC, depending on the selected display.
Reading and display illumination flash: · 1 bar/14.5 psi before reaching critical refrigerant pressure · When max. permissible pressure of 60 bar(870 psi is exceeded.
After completing a long-term measurement the following options are available: – Save summarised data: only summarized data will be saved. – Transfer & save complete data: all recorded measurement results are transferred and saved in the app. – Delete data on manifold: the recorded measurement results on the device will be deleted without transferring them to the app.
8.3.3 Target superheat
This feature allows the manifold to calculate the target superheat in conjunction with the App and additional testo 605i Smart Probes. This application can only be used for split air conditioning systems/heat pumps with a fixed expansion valve. The two connected testo 605i Smart Probes determine the ODDB and RAWB values. As a result, the target superheat appears in the App.

8.3.4 System Leak Test
The temperature compensated leakage test can be used to check the leak tightness of systems. For this purpose both the system pressure and the ambient temperature are measured over a defined period of time.
To this end, a temperature probe may be connected to measure the ambient temperature (recommendation: Deactivate the surface compensation factor and use an NTC air probe or Bluetooth® temperature Smart Probes) or Smart Probe for air temperature measurement. This provides information about the temperaturecompensated differential pressure and the temperature at the beginning/end of the test. Due to the temperature compensation, the actual pressure drop is displayed as delta P. If no temperature probe is
