3 Description of the instrument 3.1 Use The testo 552 is a digital vacuum gauge for the precise measurement of extremely small pressures in the vacuum range. This allows you to monitor the evacuation (usually during commissioning) of refrigeration systems and heat pumps.
3 Description of the instrument Element Function MiniDIN probe socket Cable connection for connecting to the testo 570. Display Displays instrument status icons, measuring units and measuring values. Control keys Instrument operation. Connections 7/16" Connection of refrigerant hoses, vacuum pump, UNF, brass manifolds, etc..
- unit set (°C, °F) Slave Mode Appears when the testo 552 is connected to the testo 570 via a connecting cable and the testo 570 is in Evacuation mode. Pressure display Displays the currently measured pressure, the measurement parameter and the unit set (mmH , Torr, mbar, hPa, micron, inH O, inHg).
3.5 Connection options overview In regard to the following connection options, the testo 570 is used to represent any manifold and can use the testo 552 as a probe via a MiniDIN connecting cable (see Option 1). Option 1 (recommended) The testo 552 is connected at the point that is furthest from the vacuum pump.
4 Operation Option 4 Option 5 4 Operation 4.1 Connecting Always use refrigerant hoses that are specifically intended for evacuations. - Remove sealing caps. - Connect the testo 552 to the circuit.
