Just 15 years ago it would have been unthinkable to have instant online connectivity available from your pocket. The development of smartphones, however, means the digital age has transformed most areas of working life.

Nearly 90 per cent of Australians now own a smartphone, according to Deloitte's Mobile Consumer Survey 2017. Reliable, intuitive and effective functionality makes it easier than ever for professionals to access and share data between devices instantly. This bodes well for the future of the Ventilation and Air Conditioning (VAC) sector, where technicians can take advantage of Testo's measurement technology.

The testo 550 refrigeration gauge

The testo 550 refrigeration gauge instantly records and displays data for up to 60 refrigerants, measuring within a variety of pressures and temperature ranges. This departs from legacy analogue devices, which only allowed individuals to record single measurements at one time. Digital solutions make work processes quicker and more flexible.

Recording is easier with the optional hoses available in the comprehensive 550 digital manifold kit. This set of instruments was compiled after our solutions team responded to requests from customers to develop a product that enabled technicians to get to work immediately. The kit's accessories, including filling tubes and clamp temperature probes, are ideal for enabling individuals to begin data measurement instantly while still syncing data with their smart device for ease-of-access.

Testo's 557 set fulfils numerous functions in one instrument. Like the testo 550 solution, Testo's 557 solution can record up to 60 refrigerants, while a built-in external vacuum probe aids more thorough system evacuation.

Consistent with our range of smart solutions, this instrument is linked to a practical smartphone app which allows you to monitor and collate all data. From there, you can store results for compilation in data reports or share information via email.

This smarter way of working is the future of the VAC industry, giving technicians the flexibility and intuitive functionality to improve their day-to-day processes. For more information on the Smart World of Testo, contact our expert team today.
