Like others have said with an open case you will get a much better/consistent temp using discharge air. I've tried putting temp controls in the return air and they run like crap. That said I've had...

Yup, clean the pilot orifice. Pretty standard on these turds.

I love my Digi cools too. But this was the main reason for me to get the smans, we started using r448a and 407a a lot and I don't have those in the 1200s or 1250s.

The new smans 480/380 with the wireless job link clamps and temp probes are the best thing out there right now. Everything on the manifold screen with the OPTION of using your phone or tablet for...

Sounds like a bad compressor to be. With a flooding txv u will have high discharge and low superheat. Could try slowing down the blower or running it with no blower to see if suction pressure is...

I just got the new SMANs and I agree with u.. I didn't have the fieldpiece probes, but now feel like I need them to have a complete set... So I ordered the wireless probes kit, and can't wait till...

Yeah, something on the actual manifold without having to plug in to check the data log would be handy, at least for me and all my co workers. Something that u can clear when u want and doesn't clear...

Ok Russ I bought these and have been using them all week. So far so good. Just wanted to check with you and see if there is a way to see the min, max psig over a period? I use this function almost...

Thanks Russell, I assume it's the same for the SMAN480? They will still work in the same low temps?

Will the wireless temp clamps work below 32 degrees? I see they are rated for between 32°-122°f. Looking to use these around 0°f or below ambient temp. Is that rating just what all the specs we're...

I see the wireless temp clamps say opperating temp 32f-122f. Does this mean they won't work in a frozen case or WI freezer to get a temp reading due to the ambient temperature?

Ok thanks, I was more interested in the distance on the pipe clamps anyway for refrigeration. That's pretty sweet, think this will be my next manifold!

Are the wireless probes good for 350' to the SMAN (clear path). Then another 350' from the SMANs to your phone or tablet??

My guess is the getting ride of old stock. The new SMAN 480 and 380 are set to come out sometime in April from what I hear.

Do your testos go back to zero after you've been working on a system? Got a coworker that bought the 557s a couple of weeks ago and his are always off by a few inches or psi after he works on a...

LMFAO

The new SMAN 480 has an IP 54 rating, not bad. Anyone know what the current SMAN is? I've always just used the Digi-Cools not sure what there IP class is but I know it doesn't mind lots of water or...

I'm just the opposite, I can't image going back to a set of analogs and a pt chart. Been using digital gauges for over 12 years now. I don't even really look at the pressures, just the saturation...

New Sman looks pretty cool, been looking for a new digital manifold or smart gauges for a little while now... Just hope it will have r448a in it or able to update it. ...

Balance port valves are pretty much all we have installed for many many years now, and yes it's because they can be used with low liquid pressure. Thats the main reason to use a balance port for...

Not to hijack, but has anybody heard when Inficons latest and greatest leak detector is coming out. I believed it was called Stratus, and had a ppm display one it. Looked pretty cool.

I use an a421 to replace a lot of dixell controls on self contains sometimes with a relay or contactor and sometimes just the tstat. Depends on the current draw and location.

Something I found odd with 448a was the listed defrost times from Zero Zone for a multideck med temp case was 6 times a day vs 4 times a day with 404a.

Try Case parts or Ref hardware supply. Plenty of pics in the catalogs to look at for help pinpointing what you need.

Good catch. I just assumed it had a distributor. Haven't seen a new WI evap without on in the last 20 years lol.

It won't feed properly, you'll have a low suction pressure. Re-use the old one or like pecmsg said install it temporarily. I would suggest having a sporlan kit on the truck. You can build a valve...

Make sure there is not a little 032 drier up stream of the valve in the case... Seen those plug up a bunch of times.

If you haven't already, clean the condenser coil, 300 psi is pretty high. You can also look to see the mcc of the compressor (maximum constant curret) my guess is your under that. WAG is that it's...

Pressures of r290 will be about the same as r22... R32 may be next up in the resi world. But your already using it today, its in 410a. R32 is also flammable (A2L).

Viper and rinse with water in a pump spayer. I only use nitrogen on ice machines that I don't want coil cleaner going into the bin.
I got some old Tupperware that I have in my truck to cat water.....

Looks pretty cool!! Price yet?

Correct.

It's a few hundred more than the Bosch for me.

It's one or the other from what I understand. You need to switch a dip switch or 2 to switch to 37 degree coil. Looks like it comes set for 47.

What would be the matching evap coil for this unit? Looked on my suppliers site and the price isnt to bad for that condensing unit. I will look into that unit, thanks. Have you installed many of the...

Maybe the TM9E doesn't have y1 and y2 , I've been looking at a lot of manuals, I have to try and look later. And I'll look in to the TM9Y, thanks.

Thanks rundawg. I can get a really good price on the Bosch unit, so I figured why not try it. It's got a ten year warranty like all the other units. And it can ramp all the way down to 25 percent so...

Don't really do much residential , but looking to replace my furnace and AC unit.
Looking at York TM9E080C16MP11
And going to use a Bosch bova 36 heat pump with a 3 ton coil.
Is the "standard...

Yeah they work great. No more sore arm from pumping your pump sprayer. I don't use the foaming tip though. I like the little small piece to fan out the spray. Or I'll use it without any tip on really...

Good to know. Guess they wouldn't be a good choice to set up superheat on a frozen line up.

Did you have the gauge hooked up too? Don't hey have the same temp range 32-122?

Put some Zero Zone self-contains in last week, they came with R448a in them. The medium temp Hydra Cool units had 404a in them though. The build date on them were from 2017.. Doing a couple more...

Hahaha, cut slow!

Adding ref doesn't seem like it would be bad with just a tee or valve core tool. Suppose you could just screw them on a manifold if you really wanted and just pull them off as needed.

The big refrigeration companies have to much money invested in these earth saving new flavors, they will get their way eventually. But for now 404a is back to being legal for installs. Think...

Nice, thanks for your time and thoughts Iceman. Think I'll be ordering a set soon.. Can't believe it took Refco to make a wirless set with sat and psig reading on the tool and display the temp...

Clamps not tight enough or air giving false reading?? Guessing distance is comparable to Appions and testo and all the others?

Do you know if the psi drifts with temp change yet?

Since it got lost in the big crash, I'll start another one. Anybody get em yet? I see Tru tech still says they ship in 5-10 days.

Looks good, only thing I would add is traps to the drains, its going to suck in a lot of hot air in the summer. Any pics of the cond units?

Pricing I got was from Bell Simons Company.

Yup! Gets my vote! Multiple temp probes off one transducer like sporlan pro would be nice too :.02:
