The testo 560i scale and the testo Smart Valve are aids for carrying out
maintenance and service work on refrigeration systems and heat pumps. They
may only be used by qualified authorized personnel.
The devices are intended for indoor use only.
Via their functions, the instruments help with charging refrigeration systems and
heat pumps.
The testo 560i and testo Smart Valve can be used either in conjunction with
the testo Smart App or in conjunction with one of the testo 550s and testo 557s
manifolds.
The testo Smart Valve is compatible with most non-corrosive refrigerants,
water and glycol. The testo Smart Valve is not compatible with refrigerants
containing ammonia.
The products are suitable for gaseous charging of refrigeration systems.
When charging with liquid refrigerant, an evaporation adapter must be used to
protect the compressor or the flow rate limited via the manifold.
ATTENTION
Charging liquid refrigerant too quickly can damage the compressor!
- Only charge liquid refrigerant slowly.
The products must not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres!
The testo Smart Valve must not be used in the vicinity of a magnetic field.
ATTENTION
Danger due to leaking refrigerant.
The testo Smart Valve does not constitute a safety mechanism.
- Stop the flow of refrigerant at the refrigerant bottle once the
charging process has been completed.
- Always stop the flow of refrigerant from the refrigerant bottle to the
testo Smart Valve when not in use.
Always hang the testo Smart Valve up straight using the hook and
make sure that the scale and the valve are always level/horizontal.
