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 refrigerant bottle valve, the system is charged with refrigerant until the target value (weight/superheating/subcooling) is reached.
Page 19
8 Using the product If necessary, zero sensor on manifold/app [P = 0]. If necessary, zero testo 560i on manifold/app [W = 0]. Open connected valve(s) manually and add refrigerant to the system until the required value is reached. Charging manually means the...
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 21
8 Using the product - In the manifold/app, select the proper refrigerant and select if pulsed charging is desired (on/off). Pulsed charging means that the valve opens and closes several times and the desired amount is thus filled in several small steps.
Page 22
8 Using the product Enter Target Weight by selecting manual input and hit [START CHARGE] to start the process. The valve opens and attempts to fill with the set charge quantity. No pulsating charging takes place. Added refrigerant is displayed in g/kg increments on the manifold/app.
