[doinitright]

My temp clamp broke in 3 peices when I tried to use it.Anyone else had issues with temp clamp?I bought sman3 2 weeks ago.The plastic is what fell apart not hinge.

call their customer service, you'll probably have another in a day or so,






you could have a testo and have to send the thing back to them every time something ELSE went wrong with it

Being using my sman3 everyday for a couple of weeks no problems with the clamps at all.

How big a suction line where you clamping onto. I do residential so I barley open it to clamp on to the line sets. If anything I am going to modifie the liquid clamp for the smaller line set.

I use the fieldpiece pipe clamp with my meter which I think is the same and it broke the other day when clamping to a 3/4 pipe. The plastic broke and now the metal strip with the wires kind of hangs there. It still works but I figure the wires will short out soon. Mine is a couple of years old so time for me to buy a new one. Just hoping to make it for another month.

There was a batch of ATC1s that made it out to the field with some weaker material. We discovered the problem, fixed the issue and this should not be a problem any more.

Give us a call and we will replace your broken clamp right away so you can get back up and going.

Ask for Russ or Travis 714-634-1844

Been using my SMAN3 for many weeks and taking temps on every call, all different line sizes. No problems on mine. Maybe you just got a bad one.

Mine is the ATC2. I think it was just old age.

I have had mine for a few months now no problems and I use it on 1 3/8 inch copper.

I lost my case on a windy roof at the mall so they just hang in the truck. Seem very tough.
