TESTO 557S SMART DIGITAL MANIFOLD with BLUETOOTH

[@scrambler350]

This is the kind of video I like to see on KZbin when I want to see a new product! No BS Someone actually using the thing on the job and recording the experience - keep the videos coming!!

[@anthonylimjoco5958]

ya most reviews outside (and some inside) of HVAC doesn't have a lot of hours in the field anymore and in the field using the gear. This was good but you can see how inefficient to do work and review at the same time. Makes me value this even more. I tried to just record my work and if I have to do commentaries and make sure the video was rolling... Ya screw that, respect for anyone taking the time to do this.

[@ABCJKE]

Your cable tie idea is good advice. I didnt like those wires hanging out either. Thanks appreciate you.

[@Strictly4Defense]

i was gonna say the same thing. Good idea.

[@darnellwilliams326]

The hose holding ports move on my Testo 557. The outer ports should twist if needed.

[@D2DNYAC]

I know! If you watched the video to the end you will see that I discovered it and corrected my statement

[@AlexEngineer]

@@D2DNYAC shame on me - it's was very sincerely 😂

[@Dantes-_-Inferno]

They move on mine too.. but I don’t like the angle. It makes them really awkward to carry around your shoulder if you have them out of the case

[@KavehMoghaddam]

Great video! Thanks! The moisture and oil builds up acid in the system! That is why we want to remove all the moisture!

[@D2DNYAC]

Indeed

[@ScoobyJoobyJew]

When you pull vacuum you should only hook up one side with your setup and put your vacuum gauge on the other side of the system. You want your vacuum gauge as far away from the pump as possible in order to get a true reading. You can test this with your setup by pulling a vacuum and then valving off the pump from the core removal tube and you'll see the microns instantly jump up quite a bit.

[@D2DNYAC]

🤔 interesting 🧐 not a bad idea I will definitely implement this thank you

[@dswilliamson2112]

Thanks for showing this stuff sir. Just got mine in the mail today!

[@wd8557]

Only thing I do different is close off the manifold for leak test. Reason being if you have a O - ring going bad in one of the hoses it will show a leak, then your running around trying to find a leak that don't exist. Also make sure you blow off any refrigerant in the lines especially when it's cold you can damage the gauges. Nice set up.

[@D2DNYAC]

Thank you

[@safeelectric1412]

I appreciate your video and am looking for more. Would you please make a detailed tutorial on connecting and purging your hoses with the testo four port manifold?

[@D2DNYAC]

Okay

How are you liking them so far? I’m considering getting them or the fieldpeice smans

[@AlexEngineer]

Thanks! It's great video! But on 4:10 just turn this port left or right) with regards Alex Engineer)

[@ScoobyJoobyJew]

You want to leave the high and low side on your manifold closed when doing a leak test. The sensor still reads the pressures with them closed and leaving them open just gives you two more possible leak points.

[@D2DNYAC]

👍

[@frednivelo8221]

Absolutely, strongly agree, I see few things wrong with it, vacuuming the system with manifold gauges is not proper way to do it, I use the 2 hose vacuum method not gauges needed 3 core valves removals and vacuum gauge

[@vw_mods_4711]

Thanks for the demo, I’m looking to buy this set 😍 the one I’ve seen doesn’t have the centre sight glass in the manifold, does this matter? Only buying for mini split use and for a few cars as have my eye on some adapters for the different refrigerant. Total newbie at this, but buying lots of different sensors and manifold gauges comes out to more than this in kit form and this is way better, have stuck my name down for F gas training. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@D2DNYAC]

Hello friend the sight glass let you see whether you moving liquid or vapor refrigerant to or from your ac system, if this don’t matter to you then you don’t need it!

[@vw_mods_4711]

No may do one. In the future

[@calvinwindsor4461]

You can swivel the low side and high side port so the park port is not hitting the knob. I had the same issue and just spun it. Hope that helps

[@D2DNYAC]

Thank you 🙏 😂 if you watched the entire video I corrected that mistake in it

[@MrGrabaka]

You want to avoid pulling a vacuum from your gauges and also the micron gauge should be at the farthest point from the vacuum to read a true vacuum

[@D2DNYAC]

I agree that’s good practice, I do exactly that when I am evacuating larger systems. On smaller jobs I don’t this really necessary

Nice share. I have 557 , before the better readout you have. Mine is ok, but would rather your readout. I got a de walt stackable case for mine. Better fit then original case. I love that that are seriously waterproof. I DO NOT LIKE THAT THE PORTS ARE SO CLOSE. CHEERS

Do you need the vaccum probe to tell you microns ? or can you just see it on the gauges

[@D2DNYAC]

You need the vacuum probes

[@martinherak5704]

Why do u need probes?

[@Scratchyy]

What do you use when attaching the vac gauge so that when it’s taken off the vac in the system isn’t lost? I’d like to attach it straight to the system ports but when taking it back off surely some of the vac would be lost?

[@D2DNYAC]

Use the apion vacuum rated valve core remover tool, leave it on the system with the valve core loose and your hose connected to it and when you’re done tighten down the valve core and disconnect, without loosing a single micron

[@D2DNYAC]

I think I should do a video on that

So delta P is test result?

[@D2DNYAC]

Is the deviation of difference plus or minus between starting test pressures and the current

[@andyjones7836]

Good explanation! Everyone loves new tech!! looks really cool!!! it mentions with the reports you can create, I'm not sure if you have had a play around with this function, but can you save and add them - for example a evacuation and pressure test to a report and save/send to the client? I might ask Testo anyway before I buy, but wondered if anyone has had any experience with this?. keep up the videos!!!!

Yes you can create, save and send reports for evacuation, pressure and I believe super heat and sub cooling

Is the vaccum sensor only so you can read it on your phone? Or do you need it in order to see it on the 557 screen? Also can it vaccum past 500 microns?

[@D2DNYAC]

the vac sensor can work both ways manifold screen and phone also can be viewed simultaneously, I don't know the exact range however i had vac down to 250 microns with it

[@nobody94820]

@@D2DNYAC im wondering why fieldpiece sm480s dont need a vacum sensor. The guages will start in psi then drop to microns. Why would 557 need to plug it into the lines instead of building it into the system?

[@D2DNYAC]

Okay good question, micron sensors are precision and sensitive instruments and so the idea of exposing them to oils and refrigerants every time you use your gauges is not a good idea

What is delta P

[@D2DNYAC]

A delta P of minus 5 psig means that your system lost 5 psig since the test started

[@righttempcontrolltd9136]

Great video

[@Fantasticboy200]

Vacuuming the system straight to the vacuum pump without passing through the manifold. Can u used the manifold just as the screen to monitor the activity? since as it's Bluetooth connection to the vacuum sensor and the manifold. Have u ever try doing it that way? I think it will be more effective and faster that way.

[@D2DNYAC]

Yes I have done it that way and you are 💯 correct it’s faster however this system was small and wanted to use the testo 557s manifolds for the first time!

[@frednivelo8221]

Absolutely that’s the best way 2 hose vacuum no gauges needed

[@frednivelo8221]

I can get it 70 microns

[@D2DNYAC]

Yes you can use it separately with no hoses ' you can also eliminate the manifold entirely and just use the sensor only with app.

[@cesarhernandez3275]

Great video man 👍🏽! Have you thought about using the Appion 1/2” hoes or maybe the trublu hoes for faster vacuum?

Nitrogen is inert. Pressure doesn’t change with temp

Just to edit this video because that useless port isn't useless or to close with the valve. That port can be twisted around to let enough space for you.
