Important Notice
This is not a consumer product. Only qualied
personnel trained in service and installation of
A/C and/or refrigeration equipment shall use
this product.
Read and understand this operator’s manual in
its entirety before using your SMAN Refrigerant
Manifold to prevent injury or damage to you or
equipment.
Class A2L/A2/A3 Refrigerant
Safety Notice
Systems using class A2L (mildly ammable),
class A2 (flammable), or class A3 (highly
ammable) refrigerants can be tested safely ONLY
by qualied personnel explicitly trained in the use
and handling of those refrigerants. This manual
is in no way a replacement for proper training.
!
WARNINGS
Do not apply more than 65 Bar to any port of the manifold.
Ground properly when testing A2L/A2/A3 (hydrocarbon) refrigerants.
Do not use in the vicinity of explosive substances.
Inhalation of high concentrations of refrigerant vapor can block oxygen to
the brain causing injury or death.
Refrigerant liquid can cause frostbite.
Follow all equipment manufacturer’s testing procedures above those in
this manual in regards to properly servicing their equipment.

Quick Start
1. Install the included six AA batteries into rear
battery compartment.
2. Press center blue button for 2 seconds to
turn on your new SMAN manifold.
3. Connect your hoses and pipe clamps to the
SMAN manifold and to the system.
4. View live pressures and temperatures.
5. Usearrowbuttonstoselectarefrigerantand
view calculations in real-time!

Description
SMAN™ Refrigerant Manifolds give you the
trust needed for doing the job right the rst time.
Your new Fieldpiece manifold has been
upgraded for ultimate field protection and
long range wireless communication. The fully
rubberized case seals and protects from dust,
bumps, and light rain. Use the heavy duty hook
to hang it in your work vehicle while protected
by its large padded soft case.
Model SM380VINT is your testing hub at the
jobsite. In addition to the included thermocouples,
you can connect wirelessly to psychrometers,
pipe clamps, and even a refrigerant scale. For
example, assign one psychrometer (model JL3RH)
to return air and another to supply air to view live
temperature split across the evaporator directly.
View all your measurements and live
calculations on the extra large LCD or from a
distance on your mobile device. A rolling list of
your 10 most recently used refrigerants is stored
at the top of the main refrigerant list for quick
selection.
Verify proper charge by comparing actual
superheat (SH) with target superheat (TSH).
Use the outdoor dry bulb thermocouple and
an optional indoor psychrometer for live TSH
calculations.

Pressure sensors automatically compensate
for altitude and weather changes. Use the
internal vacuum gauge for fast and convenient
monitoring of your evacuations.
