Ritchie expands wireless probe range

USA: Ritchie Engineering has expanded its YJack range of Yellow Jacket wireless probes with more tools and a smart app for complete system diagnostics.

The YJack Press pressure gauge includes an integrated charging port to easily adjust system charge while continuing to check system pressure. The compact size and 45° x 1/4in quick-coupler fitting offers versatile system attachment. It can perform system leak and strength tests at up to 725psig (50bar) while logging and reporting the test data. 

The compact YJack Vac vacuum gauge provides all the features needed for effective system evacuation. It offers full range vacuum measurement from atmospheric pressure down to 1 micron. System vacuum readings and configuration of target vacuum levels can be viewed via the integrated display or tracked remotely with the YJack View app or P51-870 Titan digital manifold.

The YJack Amp current probe takes electrical current measurements and analyses critical system power information. These new YJack probes are sold separately and as part of three new kits. 

The new probes are supported by the YJack View app, which allows technicians to easily receive and analyse live data including system pressure, temperature, vacuum, psychrometric system efficiency, leak test and current draw. They support enhanced data logging and customisable PDF reports of system measurement and service information.
