testo 560i Digital Refrigerant Scale with Bluetooth

The Testo 560i digital refrigerant scale is built for techs who need accuracy and reliability when charging refrigeration systems and heat pumps. This wireless scale connects straight to your Testo manifold or the Testo Smart App via Bluetooth, streamlining your workflow.

Hauling gear up to a rooftop unit in the Australian summer heat, you appreciate anything that makes the job quicker and more precise. The 560i is designed to simplify refrigerant charging, making it a solid addition to any service vehicle.

Best For

• HVAC and refrigeration technicians
• Service and maintenance teams
• Anyone needing precise refrigerant charge by weight

Compatibility

The Testo 560i scale works seamlessly with Testo manifolds (models 557s, 550s, 550i, 557, 550) and the Testo Smart App (available for Android and iOS). It allows for automatic and precise refrigerant charging when used with these systems.

If you're running a different manifold, ensure it supports Bluetooth communication with Testo devices or you plan to use the Testo Smart App directly.

Features

• Wireless connectivity up to 30m when used standalone, allowing for flexible placement in tight spaces.
• High measurement accuracy: ≤ ±(10 g + 0.03 %rdg) for loads 0-30 kg, and ≤ ±(10 g + 0.05 %rdg) for 30-100 kg.
• Robust IP44 protection against dust and splash water, making it suitable for outdoor and workshop environments.
• Supports a maximum load of 100 kg, accommodating all common refrigerant cylinders.
• Long battery life of over 70 hours from 4 x AA batteries, reducing downtime on the job.
• Features a textured rubber surface and 3D corners for stable, accurate positioning of refrigerant containers.

Using It on the Job

1. Place the Testo 560i scale on a firm, level surface near the system you're working on.
2. Position the refrigerant cylinder securely on the scale's textured surface, using the 3D corners for alignment.
3. Power on the scale and connect it wirelessly to your Testo manifold or the Testo Smart App via Bluetooth.
4. Select your charging program (e.g., charge by weight) and input the target refrigerant amount in the manifold or app.
5. Monitor the charge process via the manifold or App, ensuring accurate refrigerant transfer into the system.
6. Once charging is complete, safely disconnect your hoses, power down the scale, and store it for next time.

Limitations & Safety Notes

• Refrigerant handling requires a current ARCtick licence in Australia.
• Not for use in hazardous (explosive) environments.
• Always ensure the scale is placed on a stable, level surface for accurate weight readings.
• This scale measures refrigerant weight only; it does not have built-in pressure or temperature measurement.
• Always follow Australian standards and Safe Work guidance for all HVAC/R operations.

Tradie Pro Tip: Keep your scale clean, especially after a dusty site or if there's any refrigerant spill. Even with its IP44 rating, a bit of care goes a long way for tool longevity and accuracy on the job.

Pair With

Pair your Testo 560i with a compatible Testo Smart manifold and the Testo Smart App for full automatic charging functionality. Consider a Testo vacuum pump for precise evacuation before any charging operation.
