The big advantage of the "computer interface" is to see and document what happened and what is happening. It is of particular value on variable mass flow systems, two stage systems, and systems that can control load. For residential, it is not a feature that you would use on every call, but it does provide a certain "wow factor"and it also make things easier as you can see all of the readings on a single screen. The key thing to its usefulness is knowing what all of the readings mean. Thanks!
I have the 550. This just seems like too many bells and whistles to me. I guess theres a cool factor involved but other than that I see no reason to have all the computer interface for your everyday service call. The customer will have no idea what you are showing them and it just takes up more time on an individual call. I think Ill stick with the 550 or 557. Thats just me though. Good video though.
The accuracy of the Testo 570 is second to none of the gauges manufactured today. They are built very well, but why anyone would throw them off a roof I do not know. They are an instrument but by no means a delicate instrument. Buck Taylor, the developer of Get-Cool software just received a 570 and is working on making it work with the program. I am not sure how soon until he is finished. The testo software is pretty slick.
Thanks for the vids my question ins't on the gauges its about your palm is that a Testo tool that is programmed with the gauges or a standard palm with a downloaded program to correspond with the Testo gauge. I think i'm going with the 570 over the field piece I've noticed most of there equipment has a larger percent swing on accuracy although durability seems very good, I'm thinking you wouldn't throw these off a roof? or could you
Thanks for the video. I have been pondering buying one of these for my first investment into the field and I think either this or the 557 will be my choice. What are your thoughts on the 570 vs the 557? I understand these have a built in micron gauge for vacuum pulls?
I just got the testo 570, i would like to see a video on using the charging mode, the evacuation mode, the pressure/compressor mode and the efficiency mode. I down loaded the easykool software. Im a newbie to HVAC, but have been charging and repairing automotive air conditioning scene I was 15 and I the owner and TECH of my own mobile automotive for the past 17 years. I want to apply the 570 to the new electric cars like the Toyota Pruis a/c compressor that is the first electric scroll COMP
Wow, thank you so much for posting this excellent video. It's also nice to see it in high resolution. I am shopping for my first digital manifold. I am 50/50 between the 570 and the Fieldpiece SMAN3. What in your opinion puts the 570 over the SMAN3? I am concerned about durability/ruggedness and weather resistance. Thank you!
@d1g1man, In few words accuracy, temperature compensated clamp probes, +/- 0.9 degrees F Temperature compensated pressure transducers, altitude compensated. Does data logging, printing, and a very good mechanical platform.
