CONTENTS
OVERVIEW
New Wireless BLACKMAX digital manifolds can be used as conventional, stand-alone
manifolds or can also be used with a free APP allowing a mobile device (running on
iOS or Android platforms) to communicate directly with and control select functions
on these models remotely. The resulting APP provides the HVAC/R technician with the
convenience of running and monitoring a BLACKMAX digital manifold (from up to 300
feet away), while also providing additional capabilities not found in non-wireless versions
(such as comprehensive views of system measurements, graphical depictions of test
functions, data logging, and more). If your mobile device is NOT available, your wireless
manifold may be operated as a stand alone device using the yellow keypad.

Please read, follow and understand the contents of this entire manual, with special attention given
to Danger, Warning and Caution statements.
FOR USE BY PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED AND CERTIFIED OPERATORS ONLY.
MOST STATES, COUNTRIES, ETC., MAY REQUIRE THE USER TO BE LICENSED.
PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCY.
DANGER: EXPLOSION/RUPTURE RISK!!! Use extreme caution when working with
flammable refrigerants. DO NOT use manifold with unregulated nitrogen,
carbon dioxide or other very high pressure gasses. NEVER USE MANIFOLD
WITH OXYGEN. Unregulated gasses can cause components in a refrigeration
system to rupture. Severe Injury or Death can occur.
DANGER: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: Always disconnect power source when servicing
equipment.
WARNING: DO NOT APPLY MORE THAN 900 PSI TO ANY PORT ON MANIFOLD.
FOLLOW ALL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER’S TEST PROCEDURES WHEN
SERVICING THOSE SPECIFIC TYPES OF EQUIPMENT.
WARNING: Remove all hoses with care as they may contain liquid refrigerant under pressure.
Contact with refrigerant may cause frostbite or other related injuries. Wear proper
personal protective equipment such as safety goggles and gloves. When disconnecting
any hose, please use extreme caution.
WARNING: Avoid breathing refrigerant vapors and lubricant vapor or mist. Breathing high
concentration levels may cause heart arrhythmia, loss of consciousness, or even cause
suffocation. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose, throat and skin. Please read manufacturer’s
Material Safety Data Sheet for further safety information on refrigerants and lubricants.
NOTE: It may be unlawful to discharge or exhaust refrigerants into the
atmosphere. CPS strongly recommends the practice of recovery or
recycling. Check your local government agencies for refrigerant handling
regulations.

Thermistor Sensors - The
enclosed clamps can be used to
take temperatures of pipes or
other round surfaces within its
jaw range (1/8” to 1-1/8”). This greatly improves the calculation of Superheat and Subcool
temperatures, as the sensor is virtually isolated from ambient conditions, allowing
sensors to read true pipe temperatures while attached.

Operation - Plug one lead into the LEFT
(Blue) socket and one lead into the RIGHT

the atmosphere before every working session.
If display reads other than zero in the selected
pressure units, zero can be re-set by pressing
and holding [CLR] at main screen. The Pressure
Zero Screen [FIG.4] appears and will then
return user to Main Screen [FIG.1], where
both Pressure Displays should now read zero.
This operation should be performed especially
if manifold has been dropped or pressurized
beyond 800 PSIG (55 bar) full scale.

PRESSURE HOLD TEST
A pressure hold test should be used to determine if a large leak exists (not to determine
if no leak or small leaks exist). Electronic Leak Detectors are the only instrument to
determine leak rates less than 1 oz./year. In practice there should be no pressure hold
detected if the system is deemed leak proof enough to add refrigerant. Large leaks
should be found before adding refrigerant. Low cost tracer gas mixtures such as 95%
N2 and 5% H2 are popular and can be sensed by a CPS E_MOS leak detector.
1. At Main Screen [FIG.1] press [TEST]. The Test Pressure Set Screen will appear
[FIG.5]. [Note: The MDXVG Vacuum Gauge accessory should not be plugged in
at this time].

[FIG.7]. Current system pressure is shown in upper right display. Timer (lower left
display) decrements and when at zero, a bell will sound indicating test completion
and Start Vs. Final Pressures will be displayed [FIG.8] to determine if system
leaks.
VACUUM HOLD TEST
Normally, systems with vacuum levels within 250-500 microns are deemed as having a
good seal and are ready for charging. As with any recharged system, a good electronic leak
detector should be used to test for leaks after the charge has been completed. MD50W
or MD100W manifold series will function as accurate vacrometers when used with the
MDXVG Remote Vacuum Accessory (page 6).
1. Plug the MDXVG Vacuum Accessory into the upper right side of the manifold [FIG.9].
2. The Vacuum Display Screen [FIG.10] appears.

the desired vacuum level is reached. Once reached,
proceed to Vacuum Hold Test.

PROGRAMMING/SETTING UNITS
According to your geographic location, MD50W and MD100W manifold series are fac-
tory programmed with 5 common refrigerants in those regions (see chart below), and
units of measure (Temperature, Pressure and Vacuum) for specific regions. See chart on
next page for details. Any of these units can be changed via the Program Mode.
