It is designed to help simplify traditional manifold gauge operation with intelligent program control and clear on-screen data.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details><summary>What Does Gauge Pressure Mean On LM160?<\/summary><div class=\"autool-faq-answer\"><p>Pressure measured with a digital manifold pressure tester is gauge pressure. Always compare the LM160 reading with the rated pressure and test requirements of the device or system being tested.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details><summary>What Pressure And Vacuum Range Can LM160 Measure?<\/summary><div class=\"autool-faq-answer\"><p>The specification range is 0-870psi \/ 0-60bar for relative pressure and -14.7-0psi \/ -1-0bar for relative vacuum. The warm-tip guidance also describes a pressure test span from about -101kPa to 6MPa. Do not use the device beyond the measuring range or beyond the rated pressure of the system under test.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details><summary>What Is The Standard Hose Pressure Limit?<\/summary><div class=\"autool-faq-answer\"><p>The standard hose maximum working pressure is 600 PSI, approximately 4.13MPa \/ 41.3bar. The standard hose burst pressure is 3000 PSI, approximately 20.68MPa \/ 206.8bar. If the packaged hose does not meet your test requirement, use a suitable rated alternative.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details><summary>How Many Refrigerants Does LM160 Support?<\/summary><div class=\"autool-faq-answer\"><p>LM160 has a built-in database of 95 standard refrigerants, including R134a, R22, H2O, R401C, and 1234zeE.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details><summary>Which Modes Does LM160 Support?<\/summary><div class=\"autool-faq-answer\"><p>LM160 supports pressure leak test, vacuuming mode, and refrigeration mode. Pressure leak test checks system tightness, vacuuming mode monitors pressure while drawing a vacuum, and refrigeration mode displays real-time pressure and temperature data.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details><summary>What Should I Check Before Testing?<\/summary><div class=\"autool-faq-answer\"><p>Check the rated pressure value of the device under test, confirm that LM160 and the hose are within the required measuring range, use suitable rated hoses when necessary, and confirm that the refrigerant and connection method match the system being tested.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details><summary>What Safety Precautions Should I Follow?<\/summary><div class=\"autool-faq-answer\"><p>Do not use or store LM160 in high temperature, high humidity, flammable, explosive, or strong electromagnetic field environments. Do not modify the internal circuitry. Wear approved protective equipment and use the device in a well-ventilated environment to help prevent inhalation of toxic gases.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details><summary>What Is Included In The LM160 Package?<\/summary><div class=\"autool-faq-answer\"><p>Package contents include the LM160 main unit, storage case, trichromatic refrigerant hoses, two wired temperature clamps, red and blue adapters or couplers, user manual, and retail box.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details><summary>How Is LM160 Different From LM120, LM120+, And LM150?<\/summary><div class=\"autool-faq-answer\"><p>According to the comparison chart, LM160 adds program control, 8 interface languages, a 95-refrigerant database, high\/low pressure valves, two wired temperature clamps, a foldable hook, two side handles, and a refrigerant sight window.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details><summary>Should I Choose LM160 For Subcooling \/ Superheat Or Dual-Channel Real-Time Pressure Monitoring?<\/summary><div class=\"autool-faq-answer\"><p>If subcooling\/superheat or dual-channel real-time pressure monitoring is required, ask AUTOOL to confirm the suitable model and current package before ordering.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details><summary>How Long Is The Warranty?<\/summary><div class=\"autool-faq-answer\"><p>Main unit: 3-year warranty.
