Fieldpiece SDMN6 Dual-Port Manometer with Inbuilt Air Pump

Who it’s for: Licensed HVAC/R techs, apprentices and contractors who need a fair dinkum dual-port manometer for gas, static and differential pressure—with a built-in pump to test and calibrate pressure switches. It’s quick, accurate and built for Aussie conditions, so jobs get signed off with no dramas.

Key Features & Trade Benefits

±60 inWC range (0.1 inWC resolution) – Covers typical natural gas/LPG inlet & outlet pressures so you can verify regulator settings fast and cut call-backs.
Built-in variable pump – Simulates draft to test and calibrate pressure switches on furnaces and heaters; less guesswork, safer outcomes.
Differential readings (P1-P2) always visible – Diagnose pressure drops across filters, coils and dampers without menu diving.
Static pressure resolution down to 0.010 inWC – See small airflow changes during balancing and commissioning for better comfort complaints handling.
Four units: inWC, mmWC, mbar, psi – Speak the same language as the spec sheet and setpoints on mixed fleets.
Zero, Hold & Auto-Power-Off – Stabilise readings, lock them for notes, and save batteries on long days.
Continuity leads + “Closed” LED – Watch the pressure switch open/close in real time while you control induced vacuum.

Why This Product Matters

On a chilly Melbourne service call, the inducer would spin up but the heater kept locking out. With the SDMN6 we induced a controlled vacuum, watched the Closed LED snap on, and captured the switching pressures. The culprit? A drifted adjustable switch. Two turns on the adjuster to manufacturer spec and the unit was back heating before smoko. That’s the difference: quicker diagnostics, safer operation, and fewer after-hours revisits.

Pro Tip

Zero with hoses attached before low-pressure measurements, keep the two hoses to the switch the same length, and use Auto-Capture (HOLD) to snag the exact open/close pressures while you tweak the pump speed.

FAQs

Can I use SDMN6 for both LPG and natural gas?: Yes. It reads up to ±60 inWC with 0.1 inWC resolution for gas checks. Always follow appliance manufacturer setpoints.
Can it help with airflow issues?: Yes. Use the ASP2 static probes to measure supply/return static and P1-P2 across filters/coils.
How do I capture exact open/close pressures?: Enter TEST mode, ramp the pump, and use HOLD (Auto-Capture). The display latches when continuity changes.
Does Auto-Power-Off get in the way?: You can disable APO by holding the P1/P2 key while powering on. Handy during longer balancing sessions.
What is the difference between the SDMN5 and SDMN6?: The SDMN5 is the simpler dual-port manometer for pressure reading. The SDMN6 adds a built-in air pump for pressure-switch calibration work.
