finally figured out what SMAN stans for

[hvaclover]

..it means the owner of a SMAN manifold is a SUPERMAN meant to educate the misguided Diggi Zombie Army on the true benefits of a Fieldpiece manifold.

We got a big job ahead of us.:grin2:


j/k guys....when Diggi makes a micron gauge built in I will buy one.

Was gonna get the 1250 but it is dis continued.

Maybe it's just me, every time I look at an SMAN it reminds of Spongebob.:grin2:

A gay sponge that lives in the sea.

I want my SMAN to give me all the information on one screen that my AK900 does. I want my AK900 to have clamps as great as my SMAN's. Since there is no fixing the display, I would love for someone to figure out the temp vs resistance curve of the DigiCool sensors. I wouldn't want to introduce any more error trying to make things better.

I guess there isnt much need for Doug to address this if the next step is wireless sensors. Personally I'd like to see that come about. Real time system capacity anyone?

No young children or grandchildren? I'll bet I have watched every episode of Spongbob Squarepants with my granddaughter.

Cooper sensors or other 10k ohm sensors work for DC.

The only shows my grandson watches are war flicks and girly movies..hes likes busty brunettes:grin2: j/k


No, he does not watch Squarebobroundpants ...or what ever his name is.

I'm starting to use mine for everyday use ie transferring oil ect so far so good.

Yeah probably correct, I do believe FisherPrice does hold the rights to make Spongebob toys ;)

Cooper sensors or other 10k ohm sensors work for DC.

I'm sure using a generic 10k will get you within 3 or 4 deg, but then why bother with the thermistor in the first place? Making sure the thermistor matches the temperature-resistance map will get us within 1/2 deg over the entire range.

There is lots of information of this, but this one briefly covers the basics.

This is only his third one jeez.... :whistle: How long you owned em for a month??

This Digi zombie has had his the 1200's for about 5 years with no issue's..
Had the 1250's for about 3 years now... No issues! :.02:

How many times did you have to fix the wires?

It would be nice if someone could do a video of the SMAN3, the Testo 557 and the AK900 all side by side hooked up to a system. A nice comparison in real time would really help.

I am looking for a second digital (have a 550) set but am waiting for the IDRSA, or SMAN4 (i think i heard its wireless somewhere).

[jpsmith1cm]

They built 'em better years ago.

Fischer Price hadn't started building manifolds, yet.

Yep.

The AK-900. The latest DRSA that has been brought to market.

:LOL:

I have not had to fix the wires.... But I don't use the temp probes much. Most of the time I just use my cooper temp clamp with the display right on it...

I'm sure I would do the same if I owned the Sman or testo, just easier for me to use my wireless clamp on.

The 1200's cost alot more than the SMAN or Testo's at the time. But I wanted something that would last.... I didn't pay a cent for my 1250's. I won them in a contest. :D

I can afford the Testo or SMAN 3, I just don't like pissing aways money. :LOL:

It will be nice when they are all wireless

[hvaclover]

Really? You have old technology? SMAN 4 is coming late July early August.

That make it the latest does it not?

Yep, I hate wires. :gah:

It isn't here, yet making the AK-900 still the latest and greatest as we converse right now.

;)

I can guarantee iDRSA is going to blow SMAN10 out of the water.

Do you have info on either?

I finally made the jump to digi gauges. I love em. I don't baby em. My only complaint so far is the hook. I really, really hate the hook.

Love the fact that that every refrig is there for me without diggin my PT chart out of my wallet.

Wireless would be awesome.

So far no problems out of my set.

anyone want to guess, since it was not mentioned, which gauges are being referred to in this post?

My guess is Testo.

metal hook off a wooden clothes hanger can be adapted to replace broken Testo hook. Three of my friends already did it with their older model 550s.

looks like an SMAN 3 hanger...ironic.

Are they welding the hanger to the Testo ball, or do you know?

[hvaclover]

Don't think you can weld that type metal Testo uses....i'll have to get back to you on how exactly they adapted the hanger hook.
