Description
The JL3PR Job Link™ Pressure Probe sends long-range wireless pressure measurements directly to the Fieldpiece Job Link™ mobile app. It features an angled 1/4" fitting for easy access to service ports in tight spaces. The probe has a rubberized protective housing that is both ergonomic and rugged for daily use.
A switch on the probe allows you to select either the red (High Side) or blue (Low Side) setting, which the Job Link™ app immediately recognizes to determine where the pressure probe is placed on the system. This provides the perfect balance of size and capability for diagnosing systems quickly and confidently.

Remote Data Logging
(Data logging functionality may be available shortly after the time of printing. Look for Job Link™ app updates.)
Use the Job Link™ app to program the JL3PR to log measurements starting at a specific time of day for up to 7 days. Auto power off is disabled during data logging.
- Make sure the JL3PR is powered OFF.
- Open the Job Link™ app.
- Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds to enter data logging mode. The LED will shine solid green.
- Set up the probe's data logging parameters within the app. The LED will blink green while the app is sending setup instructions. The LED will slow blink blue when waiting for the programmed start time to occur.
- Place the JL3PR on the system.
- When the programmed start time is reached, the LED will very slowly blink green to indicate data logging has begun.
- When the programmed span has finished, the LED blinks and powers OFF.
- Repeat steps 1-3 and use the Job Link™ app to extract your data log from the JL3PR.
Auto Power Off (APO)
The pressure probe will automatically power off after 2 hours. To disable APO until powered off manually:
- While power is on, tap the power button twice. The LED will briefly blink red.
To enable APO:
- While power is on, tap the power button twice. The LED will briefly shine red.
Auto Calibration
Automatically calibrate your JL3PR by ensuring the sensor is open to atmosphere when you power ON the probe.
Maintenance
Cleaning
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use detergents or solvents.
Batteries
When the LED slow blinks Red, the batteries must be replaced. Ensure the power is OFF. Remove the single screw from the yellow battery cover and install 2 x AAA batteries. You can also monitor battery life in the Job Link™ app tool manager.
Gasket Replacement
The black rubber gasket that seals the pressure probe to the service port may become worn over time, potentially causing a leak. This can result from overtightening or connecting to damaged service port fittings.
- Use needle-nose pliers or a similar tool to unscrew the Schrader valve depressor from the gasket.
- Remove and replace the worn gasket.
- Screw the depressor back into the gasket.
