Meet the New and Improved SMAN® Digital Manifolds | SM382V and SM482V

In the world of HVACR, the SMAN® isn’t just a tool—it’s a name that techs often interchange for a digital manifold – like Xerox™ for copying or Kleenex® for tissues. But not all digital manifolds are SMANs, the toughest, most advanced digital refrigerant manifold on the market, packed with knowledge gathered from years of experience. The new SMAN SM482V (4-port) and SMAN SM382V (3-port) digital refrigerant manifolds continue the legacy, with upgrades that enhance these best-in-class diagnostic instruments.

What’s New

An eagle eye is required to spot the changes of the new SM482V/SM382V digital manifold since the large, 5-inch backlit digital display is unchanged, but key improvements include:

  • It’s smaller and lighter. Plus, it can transform into an even smaller profile if the temperature clamps are stored separately. The clamp mounts or “ears” can be replaced with flat caps, available in an optional accessory kit.
  • It’s even MORE rugged. An IP55 dust and water resistance rating, impact-resistant housing, reinforced steel hook, and protected thermocouple jacks ensure they’re built for the tough jobs.
  • It comes with a new, easy-open case. The soft case protects the manifold in your service vehicle and the top folds back from the display for in-field use.
  • It has field-replaceable components. Valves and knobs can be rebuilt as needed. The standard 1/4” hose seats can be replaced with 5/16” fittings. And if a clamp ear breaks off, cue Van Gogh jokes, it can be easily replaced.

What’s the Same

  • Accurate system measurements, calculations and diagnostics
  • Integral vacuum gauge
  • Temperature compensated pressure test
  • Data logging for up to 168 continuous hours
  • Support for over 70 refrigerants including A2Ls
  • Field-calibrated pressure and temperature sensors
  • Central data hub for Job Link® wireless tools and connects to the Job Link app

From refrigerant charging to system troubleshooting, the SMAN has been the trusted name in HVACR diagnostics for years. The SM482V and SM382V build upon the strengths of their predecessors while introducing key improvements to once again raise the bar – offering HVACR pros the accuracy and reliability they need to get the job done right every time.
