testo 557 – with external vacuum
and Bluetooth
The testo 557 Digital Manifold opens up new possibilities
for efficient analysis and documentation thanks to the
integration of Bluetooth connectivity with the testo
Refrigeration App. You can clearly read measurement
data, such as automatic calculations of superheat, sub-
cool and vacuum readings, on a Smartphone or Tablet,
allowing you to work more quickly and conveniently than
ever before. In addition, measurement reports can be
created and sent directly from the job site.
The 557 features an external vacuum probe for faster
and more reliable evacuations and is suitable for all
refrigeration systems or heat pumps. This compact
manifold has a 4-way valve block, large backlit display
and sight glass. Two NTC thermistor clamp probes
provide superior accuracy of simultaneous, real-time
superheat and sub-cooling readings. With an optional 4
hose kit, the testo 557 is the complete solution for any
air conditioning job you can throw at it.
