Description
The JL3MN Job Link® System Manometer Probe sends static pressure or gas
pressure measurements directly to the Fieldpiece Job Link app up to 1000 feet
(305 meters) away.
Use two JL3MN probes to do even more.
Because they are untethered, you don’t need long hoses to measure differential
pressures.
Measure and view real-time return static, supply static, and total external
static pressure all at once. Use your static pressure tip with short tubing
for accurate static pressure measurements. Measure real-time inlet and
manifold pressures simultaneously with 2 Job Link manometers.
Mount your manometer to equipment for hands-free use in tight spaces. The
powerful rotating magnet holds tight even when the hose is tugged or the
equipment shakes. Slide the switch and the app immediately knows which side of
the system you’re going to place your manometer probe.
Maintenance
CLEANING: Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use detergents or
solvents. Do not apply pressurized air into the connection port.
BATTERIES: When the LED slow-blinks Red, the batteries must be replaced.
Ensure the power is OFF. Remove the single screw from the yellow battery
cover. Install 2 x AAA batteries.
You can also monitor battery life in the Job Link app tool manager.
SENSOR CARE: Store JL3MN in a protective cover when not in use to prevent
debris or foreign contaminants from entering the barb tip. Do not pressurize
the probe above its max specification.
WARNING
To prevent damage, do not drill holes blindly into a plenum that houses the
evaporator or heat exchanger.
Do not place any part of the manometer on hot surfaces such as exhaust fumes.
Doing so can cause personal injury, damage to equipment, and void warranty.
Do not apply more than 11.6 psi.

Operation
** Press for 1 second to power ON/OFF.
Tap to zero measurements.
LED Color Indications
Green slow blink: normal operation
Red slow blink: batteries need to be replaced
Supply or Return Side Switch**
The Job Link® System app knows which side you have selected for each probe.
Select P1 or P2 and place it on the system appropriately.
Static Pressure
Static pressure testing ensures if the equipment is operating within factory
specifications.
-
Zero your JL3MN while in ambient pressure with any tubing/probes attached before taking measurements.
For measurements less than 2 inWC, take reading within 1 minute after zeroing for best accuracy. -
Use the included static pressure tip when checking static pressure in an airflow stream.
NOTE:
The red arrow on the static probes should point toward the airflow of the stream. -
Place a JL3MN before and after the filter to measure your filter pressure drop ( B A ).
-
Place a JL3MN before and after the coil to measure your coil pressure drop ( DC ).
-
Place a JL3MN in the inlet and outlet air of the equipment to measure your total external static pressure ( C B ). Check with the manufacturer to determine TESP test locations.
NOTE: If you are in an environment where the temperature is noticeably changing while you are taking your reading, it is advised that you disconnect the probe from the tubing and ZERO it relative to the ambient air before each reading.
Gas Pressure
Prevent symptoms like rough starts or overheating your heat exchanger by
checking your gas pressure.
-
See manufacturer’s specification for target inlet and outlet fuel or gas pressures.
-
Shut off the main gas supply power to the furnace.
-
Zero your JL3MN while at ambient pressure with tubing attached before taking measurements.
-
Remove the outlet pressure tap screw and insert the brass screw fitting of the hose into the outlet pressure tap of the gas regulator.
NOTE: Some pressure taps have a 5/16” boss instead of an insert screw. In this case, use the included 5/16” adapter tube. Loosen the tap screw about 1 revolution and slide the tube over the boss. -
If you suspect high or low inlet pressure to the regulator, connect the JL3MN to the inlet tap.
-
Put the furnace into operation and begin to take measurements.
Auto Power Off (APO)
The probe will automatically power off after 2 hours. To disable APO until
powered off, while power is on tap twice. The LED will briefly blink red.
To enable APO, while power is on tap twice. The LED will briefly shine
red.
