HVAC Tool Review | Fieldpiece SM480V 

Thanks for the video. Ordered me one. Waiting on it to arrive.

I’ve had a set for two weeks now! They rock!

Thanks! Got the gauges but don’t have the other tools, was wondering exactly how all that worked together. I really appreciate it, great video!

Sweet FYI video. NOW do one and use it to "diagnose". Thx in advance!!

Just got a set today great video thanks for the info I need using the wireless probes now I got the SM480V love it

They should just come with the wireless clamps or offer that option

Thanks! Thought of getting one myself and this did the trick!

Almost bought some testo 557s today but I'm glad I didn't. I think I'm gonna get these instead 😍 Good video. Subscription added

That's a great video... Answers a lot of questions in a short amount of time.

Oh…and one more question. Does the SM480V detect what refrigerant is in the system? In other words…if an R22 unit was converted to 407C and you walk up on it unknowingly, will the gauges detect that particular refrigerant and tell you?

Your van is nice and clean, I respect that lol

I just stumbled here (this video) and love the channel. Subscribed! I am a fairly new tech and looking at the SMAN480V, but I’ve got to ask: how does it know the target superheat? Currently I look at the rating plate (if available) and plug it into an app or use the old fashioned chart to determine.

What made you choose the 480 vs 380?

Cant wait to star use it

Thanks for the video, very helpful.

I'm a home owner who is learning how to do HVAC. I purchased an SM480V and one JL3RH probe. My question is do I need two of these probes? My understanding is the dry bulb type K clip that comes with the SMAN is used for the outside condenser temp and then you use one JL3RH as a wet bulb on the return air vent. So why do you have two JL3RH probes? PS I will be checking my main home AC plus my garage mini split system with this gear. Any tips appreciated!

Great video, thanks.

Nice video. Love to real world how to

Good video. Thanks.

Those refrigerant tanks don’t look stored in an upright position. ;)

Very informative video thanks

Good job brother

Nice Video, what did you end up doing with the issues you found.

Thanks for the info man! 👍👍

i just started doing hvac and i purchased a SM480V, and i was wondering what size evacuation hose attaches to the manifold.

I have been beating the hell out of mine for over a year literally hundreds of service calls. I don’t use the protective bag I just throw it in the back of the vehicle on top of the tools under the tools it gets treated like a football.

Good informative 😮

Just got one were i can get the manuals

Not an HVAC guy here, so don't laugh. We have a 2yr old 5T goodman system and the readout (hot day 90F) on the SMAN was 105PSIG, 4.2 SH, 34.1 VSTAT, (R410coolant), 38.3 SLT, 89.9LLT 275.7PSIG on the right, 0.8 SC, 90.1LSAT. so, the tech who read that said those numbers are way off. could this have been because of the dirty filter? it was filthy! thanks

Where do put your psycrometer at?

If you have the wireless and the app waht is the point to have it?that is only wasted money for my point of view

As heads up …. Don’t ever drop the gauges on the brass ports….. I fucked mine up like that tbh they started leaking really bad.

Muy buena información

Gracias

Thanks

I got a harbor freight gauge set i bought for 30 bucks 15 years ago and it still works after over a decade of abuse from 3 different techs

As a mechanic with 20 years experience this is great stuff but a bit too much.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Lol slightly overcharged

Your review would have much more credibility if you could bother to know what unit you actually have. It's also not a good advertisement for your work ethic if climbing into the van to look at your gauges is too much trouble.
