A look at the fieldpiece job link probes, the 1st video of many to come using this new HVAC/R tool. Nor-Cal Refrigeration www.norcalrefrigerationservice.com
Glad you covered the fact that the app can work without signal. Many people complained about that, and they did an update in August to correct that. Looks like it has good connectivity for real world applications such as walls and other obstructions. Good overview, Dave, thanks!
I've had mine for 3 weeks now. Love them. Readings outside the box! Exactly what I've wanted for years now! I opted to not get the enthalpy probes. Now I'm wishing I got them for that ∆t
Nor-Cal Refrigeration & H.V.A.C So far the most challenging job I was at a condensing unit during a start up about 25ft away, through the box, two interior walls and a brick exterior wall without any challenges. This was not over WiFi either.
Thanks for the response I might be looking at these just because of airflow measurements I got appion ion pt guage kit but no airflow but I use the sdp2 for that right now
This looks like a good alternative to the Sporlan Smart Pro/r. Will the app support three pressure probes and three temperature probes simultaneously? I would like to be able to leave a set of probes at the condensing unit and a low side probe and temp clamp at the evap. Thanks -Pete
Nor-Cal Refrigeration & H.V.A.C. Seems like everything being developed is for AC work, I guess Refrigeration guys are dinosaurs. I just can't bring myself to spend over a thousand $ (three sets of low side probes and one set of high side) on the Sporlan smart probes. Up, down, up, down on the ladder I go!
Great video! Based on connecting all the probes, does this Fieldpiece set up let you know the CFM's of the trunk you have supply side probe in or you still need to separately figure out CFM's using a hot wire anemometer? Thanks!
Great review Dave! Glad to see someone show more features and aspects beyond just range. Maybe if I'd stop shooting Fieldpiece meters in videos they would send me a set to test.. HAHA! Great job buddy!
HVAC in SC I use UEI meter and they sent them😂😂. So far these probes work as advertised. I have a 3story building with some split systems I need to test on and see how it works.
Hi Dave hope the fires aren't knocking at your door, and hate to see someone else tapping the old vangina LOL! Have a question for ya now that you have had the Job link probes for a while are they worthwhile? Or just another fad? I've always liked Fieldpiece but still on the fence . I respect your opion and any advise good or bad would be appreciated! Thanks and Stay safe!!!
Mike Seymore there are better than Testo probes right now due to the fieldpiece range the range is not iconnect range not even close. But good,to me the kit is worth it I’ll have more videos coming.
Good video ! Here's the Prices --- $ 304.00 --- 2 pressure probes & 2 - Temp clamps. No Air Probes. Test equiptment depot.$476.00 --- 2 - temperature / Psychronometer Probes , 2 - Temperature Clamps , 2- Pressure Probes. Test equiptment depot.
Nor-Cal Refrigeration & H.V.A.C I never purchased the Testo set. I did waste money on the first gen of the Sporlan set tho. Needless to say, I was weary of the testo range. And when I heard about the range these Fieldpiece were getting I decided to get them. And I am glad I did!
I had the Iconnect for a bit and the range is the best. its expensive but good, fieldpiece had told me about there probes and the fact they would broadcast threw walls, boxes and that I could demo them, I gave the I connect away to OC refrigeration.
So NorCal Dave love the videos. this is my first time to go digital would the field piece be the way or testo ? Dose one offer more for ac work or more for refrigeration ?
William Prothro the fieldpiece will give you range and broadcast through walls. Testo at this time dose not. It’s not even close get the the fieldpiece probes.
I keep looking at all this new stuff, it tells you this and tells you that. It all does it in its own ways. Its pretty damn cool! But do you think the new age engineer relys on all this info buts not actually sure wtf to do? Dont get me wrong im no fridge guru but is this the turnaround from experience and to someone saying computer says no.
I was just talking about this to a friend, if its balls busy no way you break out these tools. change outs yes, start up yes, trouble units yes. what do you think?
Nor-Cal Refrigeration & H.V.A.C i use the testos sometimes, but its dependant on what your doing and what time you have i guess. Pretty handy for the problem units like you say. But stuff i work on i dont need anything to fancy. I use the pressure sensors a bit if im pressure testing, they can be handy. Good to play around with this stuff though if you have time.
Got mine 3 weeks ago and I’ve used them a lot . I do commercial ac and it’s been nice with the range makes it easier for big package units and commercial condo offices to be able to move around .......and hide from the cold weather here in VA
Got mine last month. My Testo smart probes used to be my go to tool to check a system. Not Fieldpiece is my go to tool. I have all of their wireless tools accept the wifi scale. But I am not sure they are out yet.
I use the sman and their other tools with the jl2 i am waiting for the probes to get to me but my question is. Is it a different app it uses because the one i use wont even open if i dont have internet connection
Nor-Cal Refrigeration & H.V.A.C one quick question do you have to use that job link radio transmitter belt thing to get good range ? That’s the only thing I didn’t like about Fieldpiece before
No doubt, fieldpiece makes a great unit. Still like i connect the best. Work directly for Scotsman Ice. iconnect is the best for accuracy and range and for the price, fieldpiece.
very good range on those probes and they also give alot of info...how bout testing some bluetooth speakers in the vangina...destination unknown...ruby ruby ruby soho ! 🎸🎙️😀😀
Good video ! Here's the Prices --- $ 304.00 --- 2 pressure probes & 2 - Temp clamps. No Air Probes. Test equiptment depot.$476.00 --- 2 - temperature / Psychronometer Probes , 2 - Temperature Clamps , 2- Pressure Probes. Test equiptment depot.

your welcome Tom, I have a ton of units to go threw so ill get videos of these.
I've had mine for 3 weeks now. Love them. Readings outside the box! Exactly what I've wanted for years now! I opted to not get the enthalpy probes. Now I'm wishing I got them for that ∆t
toolman what’s the best range you have gotten outside the box so far?
Nor-Cal Refrigeration & H.V.A.C So far the most challenging job I was at a condensing unit during a start up about 25ft away, through the box, two interior walls and a brick exterior wall without any challenges. This was not over WiFi either.
outstanding.
Pressure probes don’t connect or work with any Sman manifold.
Nor-Cal Thanks for the video.Keep us updated on the durability.
dizziedallas will do.
can these detect vacuum??
Not a micron gauge
I know this vid old. But how are these holding up?
Excellent great range. No issues and the app is good now. 🤘⚡️🤘✨✨
Thanks for the response I might be looking at these just because of airflow measurements I got appion ion pt guage kit but no airflow but I use the sdp2 for that right now
Hi, this can be used in big chiller like trane RTAA 500TR?
Thanks for the Fieldpiece Dolphins Review! Gotta get me some of those! I still haven't moved up to the wireless yet but i like how far These Reach
the fact they broadcast threw a box is what I was looking for.
What's the battery drain on your tablet like with all the probes connected via Bluetooth...?
mike_HVAC great question I’ll work on that video for sure
This looks like a good alternative to the Sporlan Smart Pro/r. Will the app support three pressure probes and three temperature probes simultaneously? I would like to be able to leave a set of probes at the condensing unit and a low side probe and temp clamp at the evap. Thanks -Pete
Alpha Tech Refrigeration at this time it dose not. But I have asked about multiple evaps in the app for refrigeration.
Nor-Cal Refrigeration & H.V.A.C. Seems like everything being developed is for AC work, I guess Refrigeration guys are dinosaurs. I just can't bring myself to spend over a thousand $ (three sets of low side probes and one set of high side) on the Sporlan smart probes. Up, down, up, down on the ladder I go!
I agree, it would be nice if you piece your own kit together.
Great video!
Based on connecting all the probes, does this Fieldpiece set up let you know the CFM's of the trunk you have supply side probe in or you still need to separately figure out CFM's using a hot wire anemometer?
Thanks!
jdere31760 at this time it dose not. They are rumors that the hot wire is coming out. You have to manually input your cfm on the app.
Good stuff Dave 😄
these are the ones to get at a decent price point.
Nor-Cal Refrigeration & H.V.A.C are these tge ones you had mentioned to me a while back?
Felipe Tafolla yes
Nor-Cal Refrigeration & H.V.A.C what is your range number for target superheat for low temp applications?
Felipe Tafolla 4-6
Great review Dave! Glad to see someone show more features and aspects beyond just range. Maybe if I'd stop shooting Fieldpiece meters in videos they would send me a set to test.. HAHA!

awesome!!! pricey????
jimbola77 $300 ish without the enthalpy probes. Dave got his for free. Probably doesn't know the price?
Good video ! Here's the Prices --- $ 304.00 --- 2 pressure probes & 2 - Temp clamps. No Air Probes. Test equiptment depot.$476.00 --- 2 - temperature / Psychronometer Probes , 2 - Temperature Clamps , 2- Pressure Probes. Test equiptment depot.
toolman I know the price. I have more than that in my Testo’s which only have a 20’-30’ range on a good day. For the price the Fieldpiece are a deal.
Nor-Cal Refrigeration & H.V.A.C I never purchased the Testo set. I did waste money on the first gen of the Sporlan set tho. Needless to say, I was weary of the testo range. And when I heard about the range these Fieldpiece were getting I decided to get them. And I am glad I did!

Nor-Cal Refrigeration & H.V.A.C thanks man
Nice dolphin kit, keep us posted and I might just pick up a set. Love the range.😎👍🌴

How did you link the measure quick app to the fieldpiece probes. I can only connect to job link.
Good video Dave
Stephen Rardon i
I have the old what a manifold by unwield but those are sweet!!!
jimbola77 they work great
Got mine 3 weeks ago and I’ve used them a lot . I do commercial ac and it’s been nice with the range makes it easier for big package units and commercial condo offices to be able to move around .......and hide from the cold weather here in VA
👍
Great now I have to sell my Testo's for less than I paid and buy Fieldpiece!!!! Thanks allot Dave!! 😁
Great video, I like the range on those!!
Mine probably got lost in the mail I guess. Next video water spray test😁 The range is very nice.
Jon HVAC cee cee took them to play with.
Nor-Cal Refrigeration & H.V.A.C I'll have to check his litter box😹
Got mine last month. My Testo smart probes used to be my go to tool to check a system. Not Fieldpiece is my go to tool. I have all of their wireless tools accept the wifi scale. But I am not sure they are out yet.
its out now.
I use the sman and their other tools with the jl2 i am waiting for the probes to get to me but my question is. Is it a different app it uses because the one i use wont even open if i dont have internet connection
job link app is what I have.
Great video! I can almost smell the used grease lol
JonesHvac 😂😂😂😂
Nor-Cal Refrigeration & H.V.A.C one quick question do you have to use that job link radio transmitter belt thing to get good range ? That’s the only thing I didn’t like about Fieldpiece before
JonesHvac not with these probes.
Fieldpiece makes some kick ass products!
they do.
You gotta have the jl2 also correct
not with these. just your phone.
What's the price?
jimbola77 the kit is 467.00
Is the app available on droid?
yes fieldpiece job link
No doubt, fieldpiece makes a great unit. Still like i connect the best. Work directly for Scotsman Ice. iconnect is the best for accuracy and range and for the price, fieldpiece.
very good range on those probes and they also give alot of info...how bout testing some bluetooth speakers in the vangina...destination unknown...ruby ruby ruby soho ! 🎸🎙️😀😀
ill have to make funny one soon.
Nice 👍
im diging these.
Hate the music
You made me laugh. Dolphins
Hahaha dolphins I said the same thing
Good video ! Here's the Prices --- $ 304.00 --- 2 pressure probes & 2 - Temp clamps. No Air Probes. Test equiptment depot.$476.00 --- 2 - temperature / Psychronometer Probes , 2 - Temperature Clamps , 2- Pressure Probes. Test equiptment depot.
Did you buy these or did Field Piece sponsor them?
just picked up mine at the local supply house. $440.00 plus tax for the whole kit. I like it so far.
Actually not as bad as I thought. I do a lot of refrigeration work but have also been looking at the sman’s
