I have mine in an old manometer case that I put armaflex tape in to pad it. I'll get a pic of it today.

pick up the brass YJ micron gauge stub.

I have a 5x7 pencil case....holds the gauge, both core tools, the brass fitting, and some valve cores.

I might just be having a very bad tool luck streak. My new SMAN4 is leaking.
Just noticed it today.
Its either the gauges (new) or the yj hoses (new)

My next one needs a case, no doubt!

They repaired mine quick. It actually worked but had a weird thing going on so they repaired it.

Thanks Joey and my Techs thank you too. and realize how poor of job their vacuum setups where.
Took a month or so for them to get used to it and changing their oil alot more often. But in the long run i am hoping for less call backs which is turn is happier customers.


We have 6 or so yellow bluevacs

My BluVac is still chugging along just fine since early 2011. I'm a happy camper!

I have said a million times that I have five different micron gauges but I would not want my manifolds to be with out it's own built in micron gauge just in case I don't have one of my stand alone gauges with me.

Agreed

Somehow the screen looks as if it melted into a puddle of solder in two spots.
Any ideas as of how that could happen?
Too hot?
Had to use my sman4 to pull a vac & hated doing that

I've not seen a failure like this. Call me at the office (number's on the web site) to arrange repair.

Energy, since 2010, I've shipped thousands of BluVacs and BluVac LTEs. I've gotten a handful back for repair. As far as I know, at this point I have one unhappy customer.

Check/do the calibration as it's described in the manual, maybe that will help.

I bought my Thermal micron gauge 20 years ago, no problems to the date.

I have cleaned it, and will try to calibrate if it will let me!

This sounds like a problem with the keypad. Call me on Monday to arrange repair.
