SMAN – New Three and Four Port Digital Manifold Lines

ANAHEIM, Calif., June 16, 2014 – Fieldpiece Instruments, the industry leader in tools and test instruments for HVACR professionals, announces two new digital manifold series to check, evaluate, and charge systems using one easy-to-read instrument. The new manifolds are the SMAN300 series, which are three port manifolds, and the SMAN400 series, which are four port manifolds, and also send and receive wireless measurements. These all-new digital manifolds will be available at distributors in early July.

The new line of manifolds have a large screen that shows nine measurements at one time, so technicians no longer need to toggle through information. They are also more rugged, and give HVACR professionals the choice on whether to have a micron gauge inside the manifold, or to use a separate, standalone micron gauge.

Each manifold comes pre-programmed with 45 refrigerants and include a mini USB port to easily upload any future refrigerant updates for free.

HVACR professionals need to use a refrigerant manifold on nearly every job they work on. Digital manifolds like the Fieldpiece SMAN series make these jobs faster, easier, and more precise. The tech can easily check, evacuate, and charge systems faster with the new Fieldpiece manifolds. Techs can view their calculated target superheat while monitoring, in real-time, how their charge is affecting actual superheat and subcooling.

The current SMAN2, SMAN3, and SMAN4 will be phased out and replaced with the new manifolds.

“It’s our job to make HVACR pros’ jobs easier, faster, and better,” said Russ Harju, product manager at Fieldpiece. “This all-new line of digital manifolds does just that, especially with the large screen that’s so easy to read, and the new, more rugged, upgrades.”

“Fieldpiece listened and learned from the field on how to improve our manifolds, which we’ve implemented into the first generation SMANs.  But we also took the opportunity to design a new generation of manifolds with more refrigerants, more information on one screen, and more choices because HVACR pros can choose to either have the micron gauge in the manifold or not.”
