Elitech LMG-10: pressure and temperature, with limits

Source-based Elitech LMG-10 profile: pressure range, full-scale accuracy, temperature claims, vacuum-display limits and distinction from LMG-10W.

DIRECT ANSWER

Elitech’s comparison table describes the LMG-10 as a two-valve digital manifold with pressure and temperature measurement. Its vacuum entry is ATM/101 kPa, not the dedicated micron range shown for other models. The same column marks App control unavailable. LMG-10W is a different model and its features must not be imported into this profile.

What the values cannot establish

A pressure reading is one input into system assessment. Refrigerant identity, operating state, corresponding temperatures and equipment instructions determine whether derived values are meaningful. An 88-refrigerant menu cannot establish a hose’s rating, wetted-material suitability or approval for flammable refrigerants.

The negative-pressure display must not be substituted for a dedicated vacuum gauge where the equipment procedure calls for an absolute deep-vacuum reading. Neighbouring EMG-model micron specifications do not apply to the LMG-10.

Connections and accessories still to confirm

The reviewed comparison column does not give enough detail to establish every pressure port’s gender, sealing arrangement, temperature-probe connector, current kit contents or compatible adapter part numbers. These remain unknown in our register. Obtain the exact model manual and UK kit list before specifying an assembly.

LMG-10 is not LMG-10W

Keep the complete model marking, suffix, hardware revision and firmware with the record. A retailer title, an App screenshot or a similarly named wireless model is not evidence for the plain LMG-10. This profile covers the plain LMG-10 only and is based on manufacturer documentation.

Calibration and evidence status

HVAC Leak Check has not tested this model’s measurement accuracy or repeatability. Before a job that depends on accuracy, confirm instrument condition, appropriate reference checks and any required calibration evidence. The table is a record of manufacturer claims checked on the date below.
