Ulwazi Lokuphepha
Always read and understand all safety precautions before operating the Fieldpiece SM380V. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the device.
- Izinto Zokuzivikela Zomuntu Siqu: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as safety glasses and gloves, when working with refrigerants and HVAC/R systems.
- Ukuphatha Isiqandisi: Handle refrigerants with extreme care. Refer to local regulations and industry standards for safe handling and disposal.
- Ukuphepha Kokucindezela: Never exceed the maximum pressure ratings of the manifold or the system being tested. Ensure all connections are secure before applying pressure.
- Ukuphepha Kwebhethri: Use only the specified battery type (6 AA batteries). Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations.
- Izimo Zemvelo: Operate the device within its specified environmental limits. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, moisture, or corrosive substances.
- Ukusevisa: Do not attempt to service the unit beyond routine maintenance. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
Yini EseBhokisini
Uma uvula iphakheji, qinisekisa ukuthi zonke izinto ezilandelayo zikhona:
- Fieldpiece SM380V SMAN Manifold
- Micron gauge (integrated)
- 6 AA batteries (pre-installed or included separately)
- Incwadi Yomsebenzisi (le dokhumenti)
Setha
1. Ukufakwa kwebhethri
The SM380V requires 6 AA batteries for operation. These are typically included. To install or replace batteries:
- Locate the battery compartment on the rear of the manifold.
- Vula ikhava yebhethri.
- Insert 6 AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity as indicated inside the compartment.
- Vala ikhava yebhethri ngokuphephile.
2. Amandla Okuqala Avuliwe
Cindezela inkinobho AMANDLA button to turn on the manifold. The display will illuminate and show the default measurement screen.
3. Unit Selection (Optional)
To customize units of measurement (e.g., pressure, temperature):
- Cindezela inkinobho IMENU inkinobho.
- Navigate to the "Units" or "Settings" option using the arrow buttons.
- Cindezela NGENA ukukhetha.
- Adjust individual units as desired and confirm changes.
Imiyalelo yokusebenza
1. Connecting to a System
The SM380V features three ports for connecting to HVAC/R systems:
- Low Side Port: Typically connected to the suction line.
- High Side Port: Typically connected to the liquid line.
- Imbobo Yesevisi: Used for vacuum, charging, or recovery.
Ensure all hoses are properly connected and tightened before opening valves or applying pressure.
2. Ukuthatha Izilinganiso
Once connected, the SM380V will display real-time pressure and temperature readings. Use the VIEW button to cycle through different display modes, such as superheat, subcooling, and micron readings.
The integrated micron gauge provides precise vacuum measurements, crucial for proper system evacuation.
3. Ukungena Kwedatha
The SM380V can log up to 9 jobs internally, with continuous logging for up to 168 hours (7 days). To initiate data logging:
- Cindezela inkinobho IMENU inkinobho.
- Select "Data Logging" and press NGENA.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to start a new log or view existing logs.
- Logged data can be downloaded via the USB port for further analysis.
4. Tightness Test
Perform a tightness test to check for leaks after repairs or installations:
- Cindezela inkinobho TEST TIGHTNESS inkinobho.
- The manifold will display the pressure differential over time and track the duration of the test.
- The test is temperature compensated to avoid false positives, especially when using an SL temp probe.
5. Wireless Measurements
The SM380V can receive wireless measurements from compatible Fieldpiece probes (e.g., Joblink probes). Ensure wireless functionality is enabled on both the manifold and the probes. Refer to the specific probe's manual for pairing instructions.
Isondlo
Ukuhlanza
Wipe the manifold with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the ports are free of debris before and after use.
Isitoreji
Store the SM380V in its protective case in a cool, dry place when not in use. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
Ukulinganisa
Regular calibration ensures the accuracy of your SM380V. Refer to Fieldpiece's official website or contact customer support for recommended calibration intervals and procedures.
