3.2 Medición de presión y temperatura
Connect the appropriate hoses to the 4-way valve and the HVAC system. The device will display pressure and temperature readings in real-time. The MS-4000 automatically measures superheating and subcooling temperatures for 88 different refrigerants. Frequently used refrigerants can be saved for quick access.
3.3 Medición de vacío
The MS-4000 includes a micron gauge transmitter for precise vacuum measurements. Connect the vacuum pump and monitor the vacuum levels directly on the screen. The range for vacuum measurement is 0-19000 micron.
3.4 System Leakage Testing with Temperature Compensation
The device allows for precise monitoring of pressure holding and vacuum leakage tests. It features temperature compensation settings to minimize the influence of temperature variations on the accuracy of tightness testing results. Adjust allowable percentage and duration settings as needed.

3.5 Registro y exportación de datos
The MS-4000 can record up to 100,000 points of offline data. This data can be easily exported to a computer via a USB port for further analysis of temperature, pressure, and vacuum values.
3.6 Auto Off Time Settings
The device has an adjustable auto-off feature to conserve battery life. Default auto-off is set to 15 minutes, but options like 5, 10, 15, 30, and 60 minutes are selectable.
4. Mantenimiento
4.1 Cuidados generales
Keep the manifold gauge clean and free from dust and debris. Store it in its protective carrying case when not in use to prevent damage. Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures or moisture.
4.2 Gestión de la batería
For long-term storage, it is recommended to fully charge the device and then store it in a cool, dry place. If the device uses removable batteries (like 3 AA batteries in some models), remove them if the unit will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
5. Solución de problemas
5.1 El dispositivo no se enciende
- Ensure the device is fully charged via the Type-C port.
- If applicable, check that batteries are correctly installed and not depleted.
