4 Product-specific information
• The instrument being dropped or any other comparable mechanical stress
may result in breakage of the pipe sections in the refrigerant hoses. The
valve positioners may also suffer damage, causing further damage inside
the measuring instrument that is not necessarily visible externally. Therefore,
always replace the refrigerant hoses with new ones after the measuring
instrument is dropped or after any comparable mechanical stress. For your
own safety, return the instrument to Testo Customer Service for technical
inspection.
• Electrostatic charging may destroy the instrument. Integrate all the
components (system, manifold’s valve block, refrigerant bottle, etc.) into the
equipotential bonding (earthing). Please see the safety instructions for the
system and the refrigerant used.
• Refrigerant gases can harm the environment. Please note the applicable
environmental regulations.
• Use with A2L refrigerants
Testo measuring instruments (as of July 2020) can be used in compliance
with the prescribed laws, standards, directives and safety regulations for
refrigeration systems and refrigerants as well as regulations of the
manufacturers of refrigerants of safety group A2L as per ISO 817.
Regional standardization and interpretation must always be observed.
For example, DIN EN 378-Part 1-4 applies to the scope of the EN standards.
During maintenance work, the employer must ensure that a hazardous
explosive atmosphere is prevented (see also TRBS1112, TRBS2152 VDMA
24020-3).
A hazardous and potentially explosive atmosphere must be anticipated
during maintenance and repair work on refrigeration systems with flammable
refrigerants (e.g. those in category A2L and A3).
Maintenance, repairs, removal of refrigerants and commissioning of systems
may only be carried out by qualified personnel.

5 Intended use
The testo 560i scale and the testo Smart Valve are aids for carrying out
maintenance and service work on refrigeration systems and heat pumps. They
may only be used by qualified authorized personnel.
Via their functions, the instruments help with charging refrigeration systems and
heat pumps.
The testo 560i and testo Smart Valve can be used either in conjunction with
the testo Smart App or in conjunction with one of the testo 550s and testo 557s
manifolds.
The testo Smart Valve is compatible with most non-corrosive refrigerants,
water and glycol. The testo Smart Valve is not compatible with refrigerants
containing ammonia.
The products are suitable for gaseous charging of refrigeration systems.
When charging with liquid refrigerant, an evaporation adapter must be used to
protect the compressor or the flow rate limited via the manifold.
ATTENTION
Charging liquid refrigerant too quickly can damage the compressor!
- Only charge liquid refrigerant slowly.
The products must not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres!
The testo Smart Valve must not be used in the vicinity of a magnetic field.
ATTENTION
Danger due to leaking refrigerant.
The testo Smart Valve does not constitute a safety mechanism.
- Stop the flow of refrigerant at the refrigerant bottle once the
charging process has been completed.
- Always stop the flow of refrigerant from the refrigerant bottle to the
testo Smart Valve when not in use.
Always hang the testo Smart Valve up straight using the hook and
make sure that the scale and the valve are always level/horizontal.

8 Using the product
The testo 560i scale and the testo Smart Valve can either be used in
conjunction with the testo Smart App or in conjunction with one of the testo
550s and testo 557s manifolds or with two testo 549i smart probes.
This product is suitable for gaseous charging of refrigeration systems.
When charging with liquid refrigerant, an evaporation adapter must be
used to protect the compressor or the flow rate limited via the manifold.
The valve opens and attempts to fill with the set charge quantity. When
charging by target weight, no pulsating charging takes place.
The suitable filling mode must be selected individually based on the
AC system which needs to be filled.
ATTENTION
Charging liquid refrigerant too quickly can damage the compressor!
- Only charge liquid refrigerant slowly.
It is necessary to enter the maximum capacity of the system to prevent
overcharging.
If unsure of total charge and information about the system is
unavailable, reclaim all refrigerant.
If the refrigerant bottle is empty and needs to be replaced with a new
one, the value of the previously filled quantity must be noted down.
Despite automation, the system can be overcharged. Reasons for this
may be due to specific local or system-specific conditions. The
technician must always monitor the automatic charging.
If the superheat cannot be measured (display shows xx° superheat),
then automatic charging cannot be started. Measuring the superheat
forms the basis for automatic charging.
Generally, charging stops in the following situations:
• The weight on the scale changes suddenly or involuntarily.
• The maximum charge quantity has been reached, although the final
value (SH/SC) has not yet been reached.

8.2 Connecting the instruments
Before each use, make sure that the refrigerant hoses are in flawless
condition.
Observe the system's maximum permitted operating pressure.
Do not switch on the testo Smart Valve until all hoses have been
attached and the installation is ready for charging.
Protect the testo Smart Valve from vibrations. Otherwise, safe opening
and closing cannot be guaranteed.
If the testo Smart Valve is subjected to a hard impact or a fall, it must
be switched on and off again. Otherwise, the valve position may be lost.
✓
All connections must be pressureless (ambient pressure).
1
Place refrigerant bottle on scale.
Make sure that there is always enough refrigerant in the bottle so that
the charging process can be carried out correctly.
2
Connect refrigerant bottle to valve.

From the valve, connect the yellow refrigerant hose to the middle port
of the manifold and connect the low pressure side (blue) and high
pressure side (red) of the manifold to the system.
Pay attention to the refrigerant flow direction. This is indicated by an
arrow on the valve.
3.2
When using the app, connect the valve directly to the system with
refrigerant hoses, without the manifold.
Ensure hoses are filled with refrigerant prior to opening valves into a
system to eliminate air from entering the system.
3.3
Click 3 times on on/off button to open the valve for 1 second and fill
the hoses with refrigerant.
8.3 Manual charging via weight
This function enables a refrigerant circuit to be charged manually via weight
using the testo 560i in combination with the app or testo 550s / testo 557s
manifold.
By manually opening and closing the refrigerant bottle valve, the system is
charged with refrigerant until the target value (weight/superheating/subcooling)
is reached.
Displaying the current target values superheating/subcooling is only
possible in combination with testo 115i smart probes.
When using the manifold, the app is in second-screen mode. All
settings must be made on the manifold.
Before each measurement, check that the refrigerant hoses are in
flawless condition and applied to all ports tight to prevent leaks.
The system must be supervised by a competent person throughout the
entire process.

8.5 Automatic charging by superheat
This function enables a refrigerant circuit to be charged via the target superheat
value using the testo 560i scale and the testo Smart Valve in combination with
the app or testo 550s / testo 557s manifold.
For this, the current superheating value is determined. Based on this
information, a target superheat value can be entered. The system is filled
automatically until the target value is reached.
Displaying the target superheat value is only possible in combination
with testo 115i smart probes.
The appropriate maximum charge value for a system must be entered
in the [Max charge] field on the manifold/app.
The appropriate superheat target value for a system must be entered
on the manifold/app.
Based on the specified system size the algorithm creates a maximum
weight to be filled. When this maximum weight is reached, automatic
filling is paused and must be restarted. This prevents overfilling or
incorrect filling.
When using the manifold, the app is in second-screen mode. All
settings must be made on the manifold.
