When a long term measurement is done with the testo 770-3 Clamp Meter, the battery status of the testo 770-3 can´t be shown or considered in the testo 570s. The technician has to make sure, that the testo 770-3 has enough battery capacity for the planned logging time.
(9 measured values if connected with testo 770- When pressing any button a corresponding information message is shown. Refrigerant charging In combination with testo 560i and the testo Smart Valve the testo 570s offers multiple functions to charge refrigerant systems.
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 570s 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 38
7 Using the product Open connected valve(s) manually and add refrigerant to the system until the required value is reached. Charging manually means the user will need to control the charge by opening and closing valves with a manifold or other valves.
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 570s manifold. When using the manifold, the app is in second-screen mode. All settings must be made on the manifold.
Page 40
7 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.
