Three ways to use the Wireless Vacuum Gauge MG44

Designed for the field.
Like every piece of Fieldpiece hardware, the Wireless Vacuum Gauge (MG44) is built to make your work easier. It helps eliminate misleading measurements by allowing you to connect it at the system port - even those awkward, hard-to-reach spots. It’s also housed in a rugged impact- and weather-resistant case.
Install anywhere - even one-handed.
The new, smaller cylindrical shape of the Wireless Vacuum Gauge, its no-slip grip, and the addition of a reversible angled coupler-mean the MG44 is easy to manipulate and install in the toughest spots.
Three ways to use.
While you’re performing an evacuation, this gauge allows you to monitor progress via the Job Link® app from up to 1000’ away. The MG44 also works with existing SMAN™ Refrigerant Manifolds (SM380V/SM480V) or you can monitor evacuation measurements directly on the MG44 display.
Three ways to view.
A dot-matrix display means you get multiple views - bar graph, rate, and rate meter; and our new larger backlit LCD screen is bright and easy to read, even in low light or at odd angles.

Nice kicks.

Great to see your enthusiasm about this fine tool! Wonderful presentation.

Here's to hoping @fieldpiece instruments checks the comments. This micron gauge (mg44) has a serious is with temperature written it comes to the micron level it displays. The issue with the temperature of the sensor is so bad that if you are pulling a vacuum outside and the sun is hitting the micron gauge your reading might be 1000 microns or more higher than the actual state of the system and that can be easily demonstrated by putting a sunshade in front of the gauge and stopping sunlight from directly hitting it. The big problem for someone in colder climates is that the gauge has high potential to report a much lower vacuum level than the system has actually achieved. Hopefully @fieldpiece instruments can address this with a version 2.0 or something like that.

Enjoyed!

I'm ordering mine a few hours ago and I'm excited to get my hands on it and use it 🤠

[@DanO181919]

Could you do the same with the pressure probes? Put a screen on the pressure probes showing the pressures.

[@alaadinhamawi]

I got mine today (I’m in Australia) and I was wondering why you @fieldpiece put the MG44 directly on the unit. By doing this when you open the line set to release the refrigerant it will obviously go into the MG44. Will refrigerant ruin it if it gets into positive pressure?

[@ChrisHVAC]

Do I need to turn bluetooth on every time I power it up or will it remember the last used setting?

[@Vincent6396]

I got mine but not sure why the screens turns blank 15-20 mins in the vacuum process. I have to turn it on then the micron readings have to start over and goes down.

[@Redmech80]

I am waiting arrival of this MG44 micron gauge and a brand new set of digital manifolds the SM480V, will they need to have the newer firmware installed or will it already be in the newest ones?

[@samarcher1830]

How do you calibrate this?

[@user-jh1mq2ih2u]

Already on order

Leaking from day 1, got mine from Johnston's Supply, took it out on the field on a new install, it reached 2800 microns and no more, I thought I had a leak on the system, after waisting a lot of time I decided to connect my old cps-vg200 and pulled down to 480 microns and it was holding for 20 minutes (decay test), the next day I returned it to the store, they got me a replacement one, same thing happened all over again, brand new out of the box and leaking, returned it and got my money back. I have all fieldpiece tools, digital gauges, scales, multimeter etc etc etc with zero problems, except their vacuum gauges they are junk. So if you buy one, ask about the return policy, you probably gonna need it.

[@pslifeisgood]

@@FieldpieceProducts I did call you, "Chris" in California answer the phone, he wanted to argue with me, defensive, instead of providing any customer service or solutions, after a couple of minutes I told him I wasn't interested in arguing about it, at that point I just wanted my money back, he said to take the vacuum gauge to the store and call from there, so I did. I've been in business for over 16 years, I owe all fieldpiece tools and I have other brands as well and if I say something is broken, is because is broken, you know, you get experience after the years, specially while on the field, on rooftops at 130°F, you should provide "Chris" with a customer service class. So he can stop arguing with customers.

[@d00med22]

@@FieldpieceProducts just purchased one that pulls down and doesn’t hold used it twice and same results. Starting to think it’s leaking as well…

[@randy3206]

I am having the same problem it’s not reading.

[@rbianchi1983]

Unfortunately integration with the fieldpiece app is a nightmare. I can't for the life of me figure out how to show in microns instead of mmHg. So I had to keep checking the Guage. Can't find help on the website or anywhere. Definitely a bit annoying.

[@natereynolds7418]

I bought this mg44 micron gauge along with the fieldpiece wireless gauges about 3 months ago. I love the gauges/clamps and probes but this vacuum micron gauge hasn’t worked once yet and not for the lack of effort, I’ve hooked it up on every port and even to the pump and got nothing but lines. I was convinced that my old vacuum pump must not be sufficient anymore so I bought the Fieldpiece vp67. So I knew this pump would make the gauge read….but nothing. It’s on and the tips and everything look good. Any advice? The guy at the sales counter looked confused on purpose

[@Puffalupagus360]

The only problems I have with this gauge reading micron level is that the sensor is entirely temperature dependent and if you're in a hot environment it will artificially read a higher micron level.

[@w0lvez1]

I wish the clamp & pressure probes also have LCD to display pressure & temperature directly without the job link app.

[@FieldpieceProducts]

We’re always on the hunt for innovative ways to make HVACR jobs easier! We’ll share this suggestion with our R&D team.

[@idontwantachannelimjustcom7745]

Has anyone thought of putting a light and a sensor in the vacuum pump oil pickup tube to monitor oil and warn the technician wirelessly when an oil change would be beneficial.

[@FieldpieceProducts]

We’ve always got an eye toward innovation and are constantly working on new and improved products. Thanks for the comment; we’ll keep this in mind!

[@tomorrowsyoutube7138]

When will this be compatible with measureQuick? I had to switch back to my BluVac just because how unuser friendly the field piece app is

[@Papasquatch73]

I actually use both at the same time. I have no issues with the job link app

[@aleonyohan6745]

I love my measure quick app but I wish they would incorporate a process Chiller test. I would love to be able to add leaving fluid temp and G p.m. and delta-t to get my tonnage

I wish it did a decay test like the blue vac.

[@johnconnor7501]

What’s a decay test?

[@markm0000]

Decay test is to pull a strong vacuum and valve off the vacuum pump before turning it off. Then wait a hour or so to see if the pressure rises.

[@bigdaddy4975]

@@markm0000 bluvac tells you this info in seconds without waiting this hour. This is my point.

[@markm0000]

@@bigdaddy4975 it physically can’t. You need to wait for any leak in the system to lose vacuum.
