Here is the link to the SMAN3 website:
Digital Manifolds - SMAN2 & SMAN3

Here is a link to the instructions:

So after watching the video on the Fieldpiece website, I would use the superheat reading to dial in the charge in a fixed restrictor system and the subcooling if it is a TXV (Thermo-expansion valve) system.



Below is inside my heat pump. I see the small copper tubes and they spider leg down to what seems to me is a TXV valve. Is that right?
