The Fieldpiece SM482V is a 4-port digital manifold that combines refrigerant charging, recovery, and deep vacuum measurement in one tool. Built with an integrated micron gauge, it lets HVAC techs confirm evacuation quality without swapping tools or losing time. The 4-port design dedicates separate ports for vacuum and charging, so you can pull refrigerant and prep for the next step simultaneously. This manifold calculates superheat and subcooling, logs data, and connects wirelessly to the Job Link system when paired with compatible probes, giving you the diagnostic power and reporting speed that modern service work demands.
The SM482V works with the full refrigerant library programmed into Fieldpiece SMAN manifolds. It requires six AA alkaline batteries, which are included. The manifold integrates with the Fieldpiece Job Link wireless system when you add compatible temperature and pressure probes (sold separately). The manifold replaces the earlier SM480V model and uses the same hose holders and pipe clamp accessories.
A: The SM482V runs for 405 hours on six AA alkaline batteries. Battery life varies based on how often you activate the backlight and wireless features, but this runtime covers weeks of typical service calls before you need replacements. The manifold ships with batteries installed.
A: The micron gauge is built into the manifold body and measures vacuum levels directly during system evacuation. You connect your vacuum pump to the dedicated vacuum port, start the pump, and watch the micron reading drop on the display. When the reading holds steady below your target (commonly 500 microns or lower), the system is dry and ready for refrigerant. No separate micron gauge or additional hose connections are required.
