The Refco Digimon® will be added to our line of FieldTest Instruments in approximately one month. I spoke with the Refco USA director this afternoon and he advised they will be mailed to my address to begin the FieldTest process.The technical and specifications data I have available is probably no more inclusive than that already available to everyone here. I did want to kick the thread off though so we can have a list of testing members ready when the set arrives, so like all of the FieldTest threads, review our Protocol & Policies Statement [Note that I am revising frequency times relevant to posting your opinions and experiences with the FieldTest Instruments]. If you are able to agree to them and wish to participate, add your name to this thread.A couple of caveats. (1). Refco readily admits that the Digimon® digitals are targeted at the typical residential technician. These sets were not intended for commercial applications.
(2). There is also a designed in update rate of 3 seconds - again this is acknowledged by Refco and was designed in to the set to provide a more fluid display of pressure.If you are researching the Digimon® for possible purchase, they are not suitable to commercial environments.
The limited information I have available at the time this is published is the following:
The set is loaded with 50 refrigerant profiles, including R410A

I tried to registar and it asked for todays “Security Code” there was “NO” security code given to input. So, here is what I wanted to say….
I am soon to order 2 to 3 hundred of these along with other test equipment tools for an HVAC/R training calandar that I am putting together for my job as Technical support / Instructor for Global HVAC Dist. I have contacted our local Distributor and would like to be included in the field tests, since I will be supplying these to teches in the field, I will be getting much feedback as to their use. This can be a valuable asset to the testing of these units. I will be getting one myself for field diagnostics of equipment as the thech support for Ruud Equipment. Maybe we can work something out to benifit both of use and the thech in the field. Please contact me at xxx-xxx-xxxx [Phone Number Edited Out by Administrator]
