How to use MeasureQuick for Reporting Commissioning and System Diagnostics

[@DustyMcBee-Wiper]

As a 10 yr. installer, turned engineer, turned contractor, I LOVE this! Thank you so much for your work and contribution to the industry. I aspire to help the industry as much as you have!!

[@measureQuick]

Great to hear! This is a really old video. The software is far more advanced now.

[@jasond138]

I can't Express how instrumental you are to this industry and how thankful I am for everything you do.

[@cleansebob1]

Instrumental. That's punny!

[@Full_Circle_Automation]

Jim and the team at MeasureQuick thanks for all of your hard work.

[@evaluatorhvac4400]

Impressive data equals impressive results. 💪🛠

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

I too like iOS MeasureQuick rules. Really enjoy it Jim. 👍👍

[@OcRefrig]

Jim, Thanks for Making Measurequick ! i Used it the other day and it gave me alot more information than just my testo 557's. Thanks for that ! it Made my diagnosis of the Refrigeration system issue easier , more accurate & Proveable by the guages showing out of range etc & i can show that to the customer. ( i made a video ) Thanks again.

[@mrcrux213]

Very good Jim! We need the top of the cream with a field true reading from a unit that is a real life story. Perhaps Brian Or can provide this in FL. Maybe I am asking too much 😁 Thanks for taking this to the NEXT LEVEL.👏👏👏😉

[@Godslaws8463]

I just ordered my redfish IDVM550.

[@hvac01453]

How do I get the app to identify a temperature probe option as discharge. Presently only the small switch will identify the field piece probes as either supply or return, depending upon where I have the switch set to.

[@measureQuick]

We do not use the switches, go to the toolbox, and activate the probes, tap probe manager, and map each probe to its specific function.

[@hvac01453]

@@measureQuick Thank you so much. I followed these instructions and it worked great.

[@masteraugmentedproduction5828]

Perfect app my friend 💯❤️

[@RoamingWhispers]

I’d really like to get some more information on power factor. I’ve had a few blower motors that were psc with correct capacitance with low power factor. Same story with condensers. Thanks for everything.

[@kennethnapier131]

Thank you for the project setup and reporting. Will MQ report the same information is if we have to manually measure electrical, make the calculations for Watts, then submit?

[@measureQuick]

Kenneth Napier same information, yes. The meter just makes it much faster, easier, and more accurate.

[@terrymccracken7937]

Any thoughts on going with a dark mode screen, easier to view outdoors in the sun?

[@OcRefrig]

Good vid. Hi Jim, i was wondering what the " Red flags " mean on the New Update On Mq on the " Results " page. Thanks, Oc.

[@measureQuick]

You were wondering and now you know or are you still? If you tap on the red flag, it will show you specific issues that MQ is identifying about the system operations.

[@toyinorodare4072]

Thank You for this video

[@pedrocervantes7561]

Hi Jim thanks for sharing this process , my question, Is the app compatible with the new Fieldpiece manometer or just the probes thanks again

[@nickdaggitt5079]

I hope that sheetmetal strapping of the bare copper coil behind your left shoulder has an isolator to prevent dissimilar metal corossion.

[@measureQuick]

That is a training rig for vacuum, nothing is flowing through it. It should last at least 100 years.

[@nickdaggitt5079]

@@measureQuick does internal flow actually effect corrosion? Now i need to actually research this. Also just used the mQ app first time today with fieldpiece probes. Unbelievable how much information is presented and usable at your fingertips. Ac at my own house has very low compression and ive been searching for a leak that doesnt exist for the past year. Game changing.

[@measureQuick]

“Galvanic corrosion (dissimilar-metal corrosion) is an electrochemical process in which one metal corrodes preferentially, when in electrical contact with a different type of metal, and both metals are immersed in an electrolyte such as water” www.sciencedirect.com/topics/materials-science/galvanic-corrosion

[@nickdaggitt5079]

@@measureQuick dude, im in awe of the speed and response of your team. The 13 year old girl in me is imagining that big man Berg himself is responding to my questions. Btw let tech support know my vitals werent working because i dont have an active outdoor probe yet. What you guys are doing to the residential industry is awesome and has been a long time coming. Keep that pedal to the metal!!

[@johnnyg2157]

Thank you so much for measurequick! Does this work with CPS ABM Hood and if not are there plans to incorporate it into the application?

[@measureQuick]

Yes, that product is on the roadmap. We have one at the shop.

[@fhgroup-hvac]

Good evening Jim, what would be the procedure to make the measurements to multistage equipment, I have 2 sets of TESTO Smart Probes and the TESTO 770-3 TRMS CLAMP meter, we work with commercial air conditioners with up to 4 refrigeration circuits, how can we make the measurements? To this type of equipment? Thanks in advance for your response, regards ...

[@coolmandude1000]

Hello Jim I have a IPAD 3 and it will not allow Measure Quick app to install. Do I need a IPAD 4 or PRO to use Measurequick app ? I can use Testo app on my IPAD 3 but not Measurequick app. I do have Measure quick working on my Android phone which is awesome I have to say. Also where can we purchase a Measurequick printer ? I guess my thermal printer I use with my Testo 320LX will not work with Measurequick ? Thanks in advance and keep up the great job man. Cheers from Baltimore Maryland.

[@coolmandude1000]

I just found the Measurequick printer at True tech tools.

[@OcRefrig]

i Got a iPad4 off E-Bay 7 months ago. ( about 110$ ) it works Good for Measurequick & testo. Great battery life. But if i was to do it all over again i think i would just get a New ipad. if think they are only about $225.00 so only about 100$ more. well worth it for a faster processor my processor i can tell is just on the edge of being a bit laggy.

[@joeshearer1247]

Hey Jim I bet it would be easy to have the app use the pressures and super heat/subcool and automatically decide that discharge temperature will be low or have a red flag to say discharge temps could be too high at this point

[@jonnymac31]

Adding a target discharge superheat?

[@OcRefrig]

The Discharge gas temp guage on the app Works pretty good if u really look at it. it has a Range. But an exact Target would make it awesome.

[@lee-johnson]

The whole enchilada and a bag of chips! Very nice. I need to find a 1/4" flare tee for charging on the low side with a smart probe. It's hard to find one with a core depressor. Could you recommend one?

I prefer a 6 inch hose with built on tee. The come in a 3 pack. It gives much needed flexibility. Solves the tee and core depression also has a ball valve.

[@ahcsr1305]

How long do you think this process takes real time on average to hook up all gauges and input data. Say if you have a benchmark time to use?

[@measureQuick]

Once you have it down, less then 30 minutes start to finish for the testing and benchmarking. The time comes into play when you find problems in 7 to 10 out of 10 systems. So you find more billable repairs on every job resulting in a higher revenue per ticket.

[@dustyr.647]

Do you need two static pressure units? my Testos 510I has two ports for total Static pressure

[@measureQuick]

No you don’t not unless you want to measure the static pressures independently. There’s some additional diagnostics we do when you have them separate.

[@Mooneydude75]

I'm sold.

[@OcRefrig]

i Think the New update might not be working right. on my iPhone 6splus i cannot save a snapshot to email anymore. version 1.0.3 ( 201906252240 )

[@measureQuick]

We had to roll it back, some code got pushed up prematurely. If you close and restart the app it will correct the problem

[@OcRefrig]

Thanks for the reply's Jim. The App is Back to working properly again with the rollback. When the new update was installed it put red flags beside each project in the results page. its not there now with the rollback u just did. so All is well. no flags to worry about. i know the other red flag on the home screen is for what u said , problems with the system. i was not talking about that red flag. All is Good now. Thank you. Oc.

[@mattalexander8919]

Any possibility of compatibility with Fluke 1587?

[@Es0ter1ca]

Correct me if I’m wrong but you facing the probes into the airstream instead of away is giving you velocity pressure plus your static pressure, throwing off your TESP.

[@ahcsr1305]

Was the total external static pressure a guesstimate?

[@measureQuick]

About .45-.50

[@woodworkingfan1965]

I didn’t see where the electrical probe was connected for the evaporator and for condesnsor

[@JustinDowler]

Hey Jim, how do run this program on a laptop? Do you have a desktop application for MQ? The reason I ask is because I primarily use the latest Microsoft Surface Pro for work, and I would rather see my readings on here than on my phone. Thanks! PS, the phone app is still amazing!

[@measureQuick]

Justin Dowler Sorry, it is not comparable with that platform. We would have to make a custom Bluetooth connector for the Surface Pro for that to work.

[@JustinDowler]

@@measureQuick Okay that is what I figured. Thanks for the reply! I will probably just get an android tablet to use the software on

[@resurgensix]

@@measureQuick Considering the huge boost to your market segment capitalization, creating that Bluetooth connector would be very empowering for technicians.

[@measureQuick]

@@resurgensix it’s about a 3% market share of the smart devices. I can’t imagine it is that big of an HVAC opportunity. What are we missing?

[@roberthudanish7405]

can anyone recommend an android tablet with a detachable keyboard that works well with MQ? i hear the Samsungs have a problem keeping the probes connected. thanks. no apple products please

[@sprockkets]

Aside from Samsung there is barely any Android tablets. I hate ios too, more like I hate Apple's business practices. So I may use an old Nexus 9. I'll also see how my Tab S2 works. Otherwise maybe an LG G8X or their dual screen phones can work.

[@seek3n]

I scanned the trane condensing unit for profile but it came up with a strand of numbers and letter that doesnt match either model or serial or make 🤔

[@measureQuick]

Barcodes are hit/miss. The best thing to do when you have one that does not work is to take a good photo of it and send it to [e-mail] so we can see if we can parse it out better.

[@seek3n]

@measureQuick could you look into picture text extract function? Most phone have this built in where I can highlight the text in the picture. Thank you for the prompt response!

Hi Jim, in reference to new update --- 201907161112 1. i Would Like to Request BEFORE u do a update --- Post a video of what will be in that update. NEW Features & how to use them , info on those features , FAQ etc. it would be very Helpful , instead of throwing the update out and we are like oh whats this now ? on a job site. 2. i don't like the Bold for active option vs actually saying active. the bold is barely anydifferent on my iphone than regular font. i cant discern easily. Please change to maybe Just a Green dot. That would be very esthetically pleasing and straight foreward. or bring " Active " Back. i Would prefer a Green dot. 3. Re: Please move the cloud sync knob away from edge of screen on my iphone. too close. 4. Question --- Will Everything be syncing to Your cloud automatically or Will We be able to control what syncs and what does not ? 5. Will i be able to disable " cloud syncing ". ( Privacy issues , security issues , proprietary issues , Customer privacy issues , etc. 6. i Would like the option to Roll back our updates , if we dont like the new update ?

? Why two testo 510i ?
