7 Using the product 7 Using the product Preparing for measurement 7.1.1 Operating the valve positioners With respect to the refrigerant path, the digital manifold behaves just like a conventional four-way manifold: The passages are opened by opening the valves. The applied pressure is measured with the valves closed and the valves opened.
An NTC temperature probe (accessory) must be connected for measuring the pipe temperature and for automatic calculation of superheating and subcooling. These can be fixed cable temperature probes or Testo Smart Probes (e.g. testo 115i). Before each measurement, check that the refrigerant hoses are in flawless condition.
