Protect the testo Smart Valve from vibrations. Otherwise, safe opening and closing cannot be guaranteed. If the testo Smart Valve is subjected to a hard impact or a fall, it must be switched on and off again. Otherwise, the valve position may be lost.
Manual charging via weight This function enables a refrigerant circuit to be charged manually via weight using the testo 560i in combination with the app or testo 550s / testo 557s manifold. By manually opening and closing the valve, the system is charged with refrigerant until the target value (weight/superheating/subcooling) is reached.
Page 26
8 Using the product If necessary, zero sensor on manifold/app [P = 0]. Open valve(s) manually and add refrigerant to the system until the required value is reached. Added refrigerant is displayed in g/kg increments on the manifold/app.
Automatic charging by target weight This function enables the system to be charged automatically with an input target weight using the testo 560i scale and the testo Smart Valve in combination with the app or the testo 550s / testo 557s manifold.
Page 28
8 Using the product In the app, set the required weight to be supplied to the system and use the [▼] button to start the process. The valve opens and attempts to fill with the set charge quantity. No pulsating charging takes place.
This function enables a refrigerant circuit to be charged via the target superheat value using the testo 560i scale and the testo Smart Valve in combination with the app or testo 550s / testo 557s manifold. For this, the current superheating value is determined. Based on this information, a target superheat value can be entered.
Page 30
8 Using the product Set the required target superheat value to be reached on the manifold/app and use the [▼] button to start the process. The valve opens and attempts to reach the set superheat by charging refrigerant. Added refrigerant is displayed in g/kg increments on the manifold/app.
This function enables a refrigerant circuit to be charged via the target subcooling value using the testo 560i scale and the testo Smart Valve in combination with the app or testo 550s / testo 557s manifold. For this, the current subcooling value is determined. Based on this information, a target subcooling value can be entered.
Page 32
8 Using the product Set the required target subcooling value to be reached on the manifold/app and use the [▼] button to start the process. The valve opens and attempts to reach the set subcooling by charging refrigerant. Added refrigerant is displayed in g/kg increments on the manifold/app.
This function enables a refrigerant circuit to be charged via the target superheat using the testo 560i scale and the testo Smart Valve in combination with the app or the testo 550s / testo 557s manifold. For this, two testo 605i Smart Probes are connected to the manifold or the testo Smart App.

8 Using the product Set the required target superheat value to be reached on the manifold/app and use the [▼] button to start the process. Refrigerant is automatically supplied to the system until the set value is reached. Added refrigerant is displayed in g/kg increments on the manifold/app.
9 Maintenance 9 Maintenance Calibration The testo 560i scale and the testo Smart Valve are supplied with a factory calibration certificate as standard. Recalibration once every 12 months is recommended in many applications. This can be carried out by Testo Industrial Services (TIS) or other certified service providers.
