Testo launches 560i digital refrigerant scale

Testo is claiming a “world first” with the release of its 560i digital refrigerant scale.

“The new Testo 560i refrigerant scale with intelligent valve and patented algorithm makes charging refrigeration systems and heat pumps easier and more precise than ever before,” says the company.

“Different target parameters can be specified: superheating, subcooling or weight of the refrigerant. Simply select the appropriate menu in the Testo manifold or Testo Smart App – connected to the scale via Bluetooth – then enter the target value, and the scale with valve will do the rest fully automatically.”

Testo says that the 560i saves time by ensuring error-free, precise charging of systems. It can also be used in confined environments thanks to the compact dimensions, weight, and the carrying handle.

Other features include 3D corners to help position heavy refrigerant cylinders, and a textured rubber surface to hold the cylinder securely. The scale and valve have been made with long battery life and designed for outdoor use, with robust construction and splash water and dust protection.

The scale is compatible with the current generation of Testo manifolds, Testo 557s/550s/550i and the Testo Smart App. Technicians who own the previous generation Testo manifolds (Testo 550/557) can use the scale via the Testo Smart App.

The new refrigerant scale comes in a kit with intelligent valve, batteries and shoulder bag.
