Committing to the future
The Digital Headstart for Refrigeration Engineers! testo 523, 556, 560 Precision and assurance with the new generation of digital refrigeration system analyzers
NEW!
1
Precision - the basis for perfect results Highly accurate pressure and temperature sensors The use of digital measurement technology with highly accurate sensors sets new standards in precision and assurance of measurement. The accuracy of the analyzers is +/- 0.5% fs + 1 digit. This provides assurance in day-to-day working, and forms the basis for the refrigeration engineers’s proof of quality. Digital display The digital display guarantees that readout errors are eliminated in the future. The risk of inaccuracy in reading analog displays is always present, caused by the so-called parallax error, i.e.the respective angle of sight has an effect on the result read. Frequent vibrations can also make reading the display additionally difficult.
2
Indestructible in tough applications Practice in a multitude of applications show that the instruments are placed under a great deal of strain during transport and on site. For this reason, the new digitial refrigeration system analyzers are put through extreme endurance tests. Among these are drop tests (the instrument must not only be undamaged, but also work faultlessly, after a fall from a height of 1.5 m onto a concrete floor).
1
The second skin made of shockabsorbent material protects from mechanical damage.
2
The valves can be stowed, avoiding damage from shearing forces.
1
Vibration tests according to DIN/EN 50379 guarantee the functionality of the construction far beyond the demands of dayto-day use. 2
The IP54 protection class documents the resistance towards splash-water. However, there is no substitute for practice: years of experience as a pioneer in the field of digital refrigeration system analyzers, and countless field tests with users, show that tough conditions are no problem for the new generation of measuring instruments.
3
Highly versatile and user-friendly 30 refrigerants integrated in the instrument optimum refrigerant management The temperature/pressure curves of 30 refrigerants are stored in the instrument. If other refrigerants are required, they can be downloaded free of charge fromm the Testo website and transferred to the instrument. This makes the refrigeration system extremely versatile for all systems and requirements. Versatility with wireless probes With testo 556 and 560, wireless measurement at distances of up to 20 m (without obstruction) are possible, in addition to measurements with classical probes. A selection: pipe wrap probes, immersion, penetration and air probes allow the measurement of different media and objects. Damage to the probe cable or hindrances in use are thus eliminated.
Superheating/subcooling are calculated in real time. Evacuation with the display of the evaporation temperature of water During the evacuation of a system, the integrated vacuum sensor (testo 560) measures the absolute pressure and the evaporation temperature of water. The measured values provide information on whether the system is being optimally dried, i.e whether the water vapour is being withdrawn. The evacuation can be carried out considerably quicker than has been possible up to now. Easy to operate Easily comprehensible, clear and practice-oriented menu structures allow fast and intuitive operation. The large backlit display and the sight glass guarantee good handling even in dark surroundings. Practical accessories can be easily connected, and operated via the instrument.
4
Security for data and instrument Theft protection The instruments can be secured against theft with a padlock. Data protection A code prevents unauthorized termination of the measurement. The data are manipulation-proof and can therefore be used as proof.
5
Fast and easy documentation Data store with report printout The data store in the instruments testo 556 and testo 560 allows easy and fast documentation of the measurement results. Stored values can be effortlessly logged with the help of the software EasyKool. Company logos can be integrated in the reports. All analyzers additionally have the possibility of printing readings on the Testo infrared report printer. Easy refrigerant inventory management according to the F-gas regulation The filling or refilling of a system can be documented. The quantities are stored in the instrument.
6
Software Software „EasyKool“ Readings can be displayed graphically or in tabular form with the software EasyKool. A commissioning report can be created if all actions taken during commissioning are recorded. The uninterrupted documentation of the data over a defined period allows the targeted diagnosis of the causes of malfunctions. The commissioning data as well as all inspection data are available at all times. This makes all interference with the system - including unauthorized interference - transparent. The data are manipulation-proof. The use of the measurement system, (instrument and software), thus not only helps to be more accurate and considerably faster, it also increases customer satisfaction, as all relevant data are available.
