also how in the heck do you get the filter out of the tip i tried removing the tip off of wand then tried to push pull or drag that filter out but it appears maybe the top end of tip unscrews but it wont budge and i dont want to break it, anybody have aquick answer for this filter removal?? ]]> acguytx http://hvac-talk.com/vbb/showthread.php?1335251-fieldpiece-SRL8-charging-and-changing-tip-filter-issues http://hvac-talk.com/vbb/showthread.php?1333971-Extech-anemometer&goto=newpost Mon, 17 Jun 2013 01:57:58 GMT I just bought a used extech 407123 heavy duty anemometer. It's in very good shape.
I noticed that there is no averaging button. Then with further investigation, it seems one would need the
extech datalogger in order to make sense of all the cfm readings coming from the anemometer.
Do you need the data logger in order to use this particular anemometer? ]]> jdere http://hvac-talk.com/vbb/showthread.php?1333971-Extech-anemometer http://hvac-talk.com/vbb/showthread.php?1332641-IPAD-ANDROID-TABLET-(To-use-in-van-for-work)&goto=newpost Fri, 14 Jun 2013 20:00:28 GMT I want to get a tablet for the van, To view tech docs, and maybe use to bill out with (i currently have an iphone, and can bill charge cards through...

Second time using, and today while during an install, everything was fine (sunny 80 degrees) vaced system, and was doing the wiring inside and out. Everything done, released the charge in condenser, then start it up. Then my gauges go not quite blank, but just ink splotches, kinda like you stepped on your phone and broke the lcd screen. Every number imaginable showing, but with a big blotch of black over everything. Figured they were broke, so i put them in the truck and hooked up my sman3's. After job was done, loaded truck (1 hour later tried the testo's again and everything was good. Anyone have this problem? Had to be the sun i figure. But my sman's have never done this. ]]> garychance http://hvac-talk.com/vbb/showthread.php?1328261-Sun-problem-with-new-testo-557-s http://hvac-talk.com/vbb/showthread.php?1324351-Are-all-DFS-(duct-free-split)-flare-nuts-metric&goto=newpost Mon, 03 Jun 2013 15:53:50 GMT Here is something that I have been working on today.

I would like to ask for more opinions from the peanut gallery.
We make a torque wrench tool kit, TW-8 for use in the HVAC market. These are primarily used for properly installing DFS equipment flare connections.
Since all DFS equipment is designed and manufactured outside of the USA, (please correct me if I am wrong here) wouldn't all the flare nuts be metric?

I looked at all the similar tools on the market, they are all in metric. OK CPS says they have one in SAE but its just the imperial/SAE size closest to the metric that it actually is.
I ask this because we have some requests for a ft/lbs torque wrench. That is no problem, but what about the changeable wrench heads that fit on the end of the torque wrench?
Should they be in imperial/SAE also? If so, which sizes?

I'm thinking all the flare connections on DFS are metric........ so just leave that part of the TW-8 kit alone and just fix the ft./lbs. scale on the torque wrench body.
However, I am not sure that all the DFS flare nuts are metric, can you guys offer some advice here?

I'm getting torqued up here... ]]> Expat in CH http://hvac-talk.com/vbb/showthread.php?1324351-Are-all-DFS-(duct-free-split)-flare-nuts-metric http://hvac-talk.com/vbb/showthread.php?1324261-Sman4&goto=newpost Mon, 03 Jun 2013 13:05:26 GMT Just received my new sman4 , just wondering do you guys who have these use them in the rain, does field piece have any literature on adverse weather...

Besides the battery is one better then the other it cost me 450 or should I have went with a little bit of a cheaper straight forward one. I think it may just take some practice thank you.
