Description
Hilmor 1950217 Wireless Vacuum Gauge is a pro-grade Bluetooth micron gauge that lets techs verify deep vacuum accurately—on the handheld and your phone—so charging starts with confidence. Built tough with a foldable hook and magnet, it’s made for real site work—too easy.
Key features & trade benefits
- ±10 microns / ±5% accuracy — trust your readings when you’re chasing moisture or micro-leaks, reducing call-backs.
- 1-micron resolution to 2,000 microns — see stabilisation clearly during a standing vacuum test for pass/fail decisions.
- Wireless, 10 m line-of-sight range — monitor from the ground while the gauge hangs on the unit. Safer and faster workflows.
- Programmable high/low micron alarms — audible alerts at your target (e.g., 500 microns) so you’re not constantly staring at the screen.
- LED-backlit display + 0.5 s refresh — live, legible data in plant rooms or at dusk—bloody good when daylight’s fading.
- Jobsite-ready build — foldable hook + magnet for hands-free mounting; rated to 800 PSI momentary overpressure.
- Long battery life — up to 80 hrs on the handheld, 40 hrs on the sensor (backlight off), so it keeps up with long days.
Why this wireless micron gauge matters
Real-world: on a humid Sydney roof, we pulled a ducted split down with wide-bore hoses. The Hilmor 1950217 settled at ~420 microns and held steady for the standing test—alarm set at 500. No moisture hiss, no rebound. Charge went in and the system was purring. That’s what separates a fair dinkum evacuation from a guess. For guidance, AIRAH’s Refrigerant Handling Code of Practice recommends evacuating to <500 microns before charging.

Pro tip
Mount the sensor at the system (not at the pump) via a core removal tool, isolate with the ball valve, then perform a standing vacuum test. Pair with large-bore evacuation hoses to hit target microns quicker—no worries. (See Related Products below.)
Compatibility & system info
- Connection: 1/4″ male flare on sensor; includes 1/4″ female flare adaptor.
- Readout units: micron, mTorr, Torr, mmHg, mbar, kPa, Pa.
- Range / resolution: 5–10,000 microns; 1-micron resolution to 2,000 microns (then step). Refresh every 0.5 s.
- Use case: Suitable for evacuation verification on residential and light-comm systems, including R32/R410A splits (measures vacuum, not refrigerant). Target <500 microns per AIRAH before charging.
Local conditions (AU)
From Brisbane summer humidity to Melbourne winter chill, temperature swings can mask moisture. The 1950217’s temperature compensation (0–50 °C) and high accuracy help you make the call with confidence—she’ll be right.

FAQs
Q: What micron target should I use?
In Australia, AIRAH’s Refrigerant Handling Code of Practice recommends evacuating to less than 500 microns before charging. Set the alarm accordingly.
Q: Where should I place the sensor?
At the system, via a core removal tool, not at the pump. Isolate with the tool’s valve and run a standing vacuum test for a reliable pass/fail.
Q: Does it work on R32/A2L systems?
Yes. The gauge measures vacuum (absolute pressure) and doesn’t contact refrigerant in use. Follow site safety and standards (e.g., AS/NZS 5149).
Q: Can I monitor remotely?
Yes—wireless range is up to 10 m line-of-sight; use the handheld or your smart device to track pull-down without hovering over the unit.
