You reflashed it on the negative temp issue, but not the stray LCD on the refrigerant number issue.

Thanx for the info JP. Sounds like they are doing the right thing by not putting this out until it is 100%.I will say this about the AK-900.
The unit that I tested was almost flawless. I am very happy with it as were my coworkers when they used it.
There were a couple of tiny programming glitches that Doug needs to work out with his programmer geeks.
Now, the issues were minor, amounting to 2 LCD segments on the screen. One that lit up when it shouldn't and one that should have lit but didn't. To add difficulty to this, one was an intermittent issue...
Minor issues to be sure, but you know dang well that the guys that buy it would see those 2 LCD segments and b***h to high hell about it.
That Doug hasn't sent the AK-900 out means that it isn't perfect, yet.

doug; I must work in a lab!!!!!!!! I have had my testo for over a year with no problems!! Now I am not saying yours or theirs is a better product-- MAYBE I know how to use it and read manuals were others don't
But I am waiting for your manifold to come out-- hurry up would ya
Just to share my experience.....I bought a 550 in May 2010 and had it replaced under warranty 3 times. Finally I sold it on CraigsList to get most of my $ back. In the mean time I've bought a FP (Fisher Price). So far so good. I like technology and using a chart to determine required SuperHeat on a fixed metering device system seems to outdated. Hence the target S/H feature is nice.

I would love to have a AK,can't wait to buy or test either way. I think I am going to buy a 1600 to get my digital fix on till the AK comes out.

Hey Doug. I have been thinking about getting digital manifold gages. But have been leary of buying. I have been burnt twice by digital infrared thermometers. I like analog and temp probes that make contact.
Was on your site today, now it seems to be down.
The AK900, does it come with hose, probes and Micron gage all for $299?

3 valve Manifold, digital gauge and the pipe thermometers. No hoses in the kit and there is no built in micron gauge.
Professional Member
Which is good enough, you can use the hoses from your analog set and you really should be using a stand alone micron gauge. I just got the AK900 this week and I'm very satisfied with it.

Micron gauge doesn't belong on your manifold, anyway.

Site was down last nite .....
Up now.....apparently maintenance issues on the ISP end

No return.
says who???????????
Professional Member
Any text on proper evacuation procedures that I've ever read.
YOU have even admitted that the manifold is not the correct location for the micron gauges in your own posts.
There are a number of reasons against it, not the least of which is the sensitivity of the micron gauge vs typical system pressures.

Would it matter, Dorothy ???!!!

No return.
Jp, would 'ya please stop misquoting me?!
Jeeze..I keep saying the SMAN micron meter is not for reliable vac readings.
What do I have to do to to get you to remember that, get an injection?
No return.
