Placing the Device on the System

YJACK® Temperature Clamp

Depress the clamp handle to open the clamp jaws and attach the clamp to the pipe surface where temperature measurements are desired. For best results, attach the clamp in an area where the clamp jaws have full engagement of the pipe surface. The clamp can be used on pipes up to 1.25 inches in diameter. Avoid clamping over areas of pipe that are coated or insulated as this may impact the accuracy of the system temperature reading. If there is a ferrous metal surface near the placement of the clamp, the magnet on the bottom of the radio module can be attached to the surface for a more secure connection.

YJACK® Temperature Strap

Utilize the flexible strap to tightly secure the strap clamp to the pipe surface where temperature measurements are desired. First, open one of the buckles and pull the strap out of the buckle so that it is only retained in the second buckle. Feed the strap around the pipe and back through the open buckle. Pull the strap tightly around the pipe and then close the buckle. The strap can be used on pipes up to 6 inches in diameter. For best results, attach the strap in an area where the strap body has full engagement of the pipe surface. Avoid attaching the strap over areas of pipe that are coated or insulated as this may impact the accuracy of the system temperature reading. If there is a ferrous metal surface near the placement of the clamp, the magnet on the bottom of the radio module can be attached to the surface for a more secure connection.

YJACK DEW® Psychrometer

Remove the black vinyl cap covering the sensing element. Form the flexible wand to the desired shape and place the sensing element within the ventilation system or wherever psychrometric data is desired. If there is a ferrous metal surface near the placement of the Dew, the magnet on the bottom of the radio module can be attached to the surface for a more secure connection.

YJACK PRESS™ Wireless Pressure Gauge

Remove the red plug from the brass quick coupler nut. Make sure the pressure transducer has been zeroed (this will be covered in more detail later) and attach the device directly to the system low-side or high-side service port. A 5/16” adapter (19121 straight or 19221 90 degree) can be used for systems with 5/16” connections. The integrated charging port on the back of the device can be connected to a charging hose for adjustment of system charge while continuing to monitor system pressure.

YJACK VAC™ Wireless Vacuum Gauge

Remove the red plug from the brass quick coupler nut. Then the device can be attached directly to the side port of a core removal tool or to a system service port. A 5/16” adapter (19121 straight or 19221 90 degree) can be used for systems with 5/16” connections. For the most accurate system vacuum readings and to avoid contamination of the sensor, it is not recommended to connect the vacuum gauge directly to the vacuum pump.

YJACK AMP™ Wireless Current Probe

Depress the clamp lever and place the CT around the hot or neutral wire where AC current is to be measured. Make sure the clamp jaws are fully closed for best accuracy. If there is a ferrous metal surface near the placement of the clamp, the magnet on the bottom of the radio module can be attached to the surface for a more secure connection.

YJACK MANO™ Wireless Dual Port Manometer

Make sure that the supply and return pressures have been zeroed (this will be covered in more detail later). For static pressure measurements in ducting, drill 3/8” holes where the static pressure tips are to be placed. Insert the static pressure tips into the ductwork so that the tips are pointing towards the direction of airflow and use the provided tubing to connect the corresponding pressure tips to the supply and return pressure ports on the device. For gas pressure measurements, use the appropriate gas manifold fitting and use the provided tubing to connect the fitting to the corresponding pressure port on the device.

YJACK PATH®

Although the YJACK PATH® is not placed directly on the system, the location of the device can impact its effectiveness in repeating the Bluetooth® signals from the other YJACK® devices. Be mindful of the environment in which readings are being taken. If there are obstructions, such as walls, paneling, or other equipment between the YJACK® devices and the P51-870 TITAN® or smart device running the YJACK VIEW® app, placing the YJACK PATH® in an area that has direct line-of-sight of the Bluetooth® devices often provides the best results and longest communication ranges. Also keep in mind that there could be obstructions and interference caused by signals not visible. If you believe that you may be experiencing signal interferences, move the YJACK PATH® to a different location until the Bluetooth signal improves. If there is a ferrous metal surface near the placement of the YJACK PATH®, the magnet on the bottom of the radio module can be attached to the surface for a more secure connection.

Status LED: what does it mean?

When powering on the YJACK® device, hold the power button until the status LED illuminates solid yellow, then release the power button. Once powered on, the LED will flash every time the YJACK® devices readings are broadcast, every 2 seconds. When the battery level reaches 10%, the LED will flash red to indicate the low battery condition. When powering off the device, the LED stays red until the power button is released and the device is powered down.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

Q: Why am I losing my Bluetooth® connection when I am within 400’ of the YJACK® device(s)?

A: With any radio technology, when you start to add obstructions between the transmitter and the receiver, the ultimate range may decrease as different objects interfere with the radio signal in different ways. The more obstructions you add between YJACK® device and either the P51-870 TITAN® or the smart device running the YJACK VIEW® app, the weaker the signal may become after it has passed through or around the obstacles. This could ultimately lead to a shorter maximum range, but this can be improved by using the YJACK PATH® signal repeater device. All YJACK® devices, including the YJACK PATH®, utilize a Bluetooth® 4.2 compliant low energy radio to ensure the best possible range, however each situation will be slightly different depending on the environment/ surroundings within you are working. The YJACK PATH® can be positioned to get around obstructions and up to 6 YJACK PATH® devices can be used simultaneously to maximize the connection range, even in environments with multiple obstructions.

Q: Why doesn’t my P51-870 TITAN® show up on the list of available devices within the YJACK VIEW® app?

A: The radio inside the P51-870 TITAN® must be programmed with radio firmware version 2.01 or higher. This firmware version includes critical updates for communication with the YJACK VIEW® app. The firmware can be updated over-the-air through a Bluetooth® connection to a Windows or MacOS device. The radio firmware updater files are available on the P51-870 TITAN® (40870) product webpage under the “Documents” tab (https://yellowjacket.com/product/p51-titan-digital-manifold).

Q: Why are the YJACK® devices not showing up on my P51-870 TITAN®?

A: The circuit board inside the P51-870 TITAN® must be programmed with USB firmware version 2.01 or higher to recognize the YJACK® series of devices. If the P51-870 TITAN® firmware version that is displayed during power up is 1.40 or lower, the firmware must be updated through a USB connection to either a Windows or MacOS device. The firmware updater files are available on the P51-870 TITAN® (40870) product webpage under the “Documents” tab (https://yellowjacket.com/product/p51-titan-digital-manifold).
