I agree that gauges are the last thing to be used..... Doesnt make sense to hook em up only to find out ur filters are plugged , or economizer is wide open yada yada!
X2 on insanity's post about guessing the sweet spot. Use ur gauges
I guess I have seen these posts and I partly agree. I will keep my manifolds in the truck and only grab them if I need to do some deeper diagnostics. Like my 60 pound VETO, I don't haul that until I know I need my arsenal of tools. I have a small tool pack with my Fieldpiece w/amp clamp, Pipe clamp thermocouple, wire strippers, Klein 11 in 1, jumper wires, king-valve wrench, crescent wrench, mini-digital psychrometer, and last of all my custom built quick check pressure gauge. Gauge does upto 800psi so covers the spectrum of 99% of what I would attach it to.
This is how I was taught to make quick SC/SH readings, without hauling a manifold and a ton of tools around. Can quickly jump around the multiple ports of a semi-herm or be in the bowels of a unit at a suction port near the TXV, or on a commercial refer evap getting SH right at the port there.
I don't know how others do it, but I always like to know my pressure and temps, only way to see what the system is doing.
so ur saying that if u come to a unit and the filters plugged or ur contactor is blown then u are allowed to put ur gauges on. does that make sense? i dont think so. there is no need to put ur gauges on every single time thats what im saying.

Just because you can measure it, doesn't mean it is important. Just because you can't measure it, doesn't mean it isn't important.
