• If the device falls or in case of similar inconveniences, the hoses for refrigerants can break. The stop valves can be damaged
too and create internal damages than can not be identied from the outside. Therefore, the hoses for refrigerants must be
replaced every time the device falls or similar mechanical load. Please send back the device to Sauermann After-sales service
for a technical check and to ensure your own safety.
• This device allows to connect several inputs, including electrical and mechanical ones. Be careful in order to avoid any risk of
electrical shock. Do not use the device if you are not able to detect any electrical failure.
1.3. Environment protection
• The refrigerant gases can affect the environment. Please apply the environmental current regulations.
• Send back the device at its end of working life in a waste collection centre for electrical and electronic components (according
to local regulations), or send it back to Sauermann to ensure a required waste collection in the respect of the environment.

5. Pair the probes
Before using the Si-RV3, Si-RM3 probes and temperature clamps with the Si-Manifold application, it is compulsory to pair
the probes for their rst use.
Follow the following procedure to pair a probe. The following procedure is described using the Si-RM3 low pressure probe
as example.
➢ Launch the application from the smartphone or the tablet.
The following screen is displayed.
➢ Press “Connection to probe” on the left-hand corner of the screen.
The following screen is displayed.
➢ Turn on the low pressure probe of the Si-RM3 for a few seconds.
The green light of the probe quickly blinks.
➢ Press “Search for probes”.
This step takes a few seconds. The application searches for turned-on-probes next to the device and then displays
them on the screen:
1. Grey: indicates a Si-RM3 probe
2. Yellow: indicates a Si-RV3 probe
3. Blue: indicates a low pressure probe
4. Red: indicates a high pressure probe
12
Pair the probes
➢ Select the probe to pair and then press “Pair” on the right-hand corner of the screen.
Pairing is a compulsory step only for the rst use. If “Always link this probe to the low pressure” is activated,
the probe is directly displayed.
Immediately, the measured values are displayed on the screen and the green light of the probe blinks slowly.
Follow the same procedure for the high pressure probe of the Si-RM3 and the vacuum probe of the Si-RV3.
In case of a connection loss with the probe, the following message is displayed:”...”
The probe stores automatically the 60 last measured values in its buffer memory.
Come closer to the probe with the smartphone or the tablet. The application launches an automatic research of the
probe. When the connection is restored, the measurements carry on.
Pair the probes
