Disconnect MG44 from system before applying pressure; pressures above 870 psig (60 bar) can damage the vacuum gauge.
Hand tighten fittings; overtightening may damage seals.
Follow all equipment manufacturer's testing procedures above those in this manual in regards to properly servicing their equipment.
Use the MG44 Wireless Vacuum Gauge to reliably monitor your evacuations in the field. Long range wireless technology sends deep vacuum measurements up to 1000 feet (305 meters) away. View live on your SMANTM manifold, in the Job Link® mobile app, or directly on the MG44.
Save time by wirelessly monitoring your evacuations. Remotely view trending on the Job Link mobile app so you know when an extra nitrogen purge is required, a leak is suspected, or just watch everything pull as planned.
Reduce the misleading nature of dynamic vacuum measurement during pull down by connecting MG44 directly to the system. The reversible angled coupler makes it easy to orient the gauge so that it's out of the way and easy to see.
Select one of three unique views, including a new Rate Meter that provides a great feel and a Bar Graph that has a range up to atmosphere.
Built for demanding field use, the overmolded case resists damage from physical impact and water ingress.
CLEANING: Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use detergents or solvents.
SENSOR: Clean the sensor on a regular basis to prevent the build up of oils and contaminents.
DO NOT use an object such as a cotton swab to clean the sensor. This may damage the sensor.
BATTERIES: An empty battery icon indicates batteries need to be replaced. When power is too low to operate, "LoBatt" is displayed 5 sec before powering off automatically. You can also monitor battery life in the Job Link app tool manager.
GASKETS: Each end of the coupler is sealed by a black rubber gasket. These may become worn over time due to overtightening or connecting to damaged male fittings.
It's best to avoid using a hose to connect your vacuum gauge to the system. The coupler makes it easy to connect the gauge directly to a service port or valve core removal tool.
Each end has a valve depressor and gasket so you can flip the coupler to best fit the system and your viewing angle. Rotate and tighten each end independently for optimal viewing and control.
Unless muted, each button press triggers a beep. An inactive button press triggers a double beep.

Press NEXT to change the content of the bottom line. Each view provides a unique way to monitor your evacuation.
RATE: The running 10-second average of the measurement's change per minute. Negative rates indicate the vacuum is getting deeper.
RATE METER: The graphical representation of the measurement's real-time change per minute. The scale is dynamic (i.e. relative to the measurement) making changes easy to see.
BAR GRAPH: The graphical representation of the measurement. The scale is static and nonlinear for increased resolution at deeper vacuums. Full bars indicates atmospheric pressure.
Every evacuation is different. Some require multiple purges of dry nitrogen, while some take less time than a phone call. Activate alarm mode so you can get other things handled without babysitting your gauge.
Follow recommended evacuation practices from the equipment manufacturer and training. Alarm levels can be adjusted in the menu.
* Hold ALARM to exit alarm mode at any time.
