2.2. Ensure safety
> Do not operate the instrument if there are signs of damage at
the housing, mains unit or hoses.
> Do not perform contact measurements on non-insulated, live
parts.
> Do not store the product together with solvents. Do not use any
desiccants.
> Carry out only the maintenance and repair work on this
instrument that is described in the documentation. Follow the
prescribed steps exactly. Use only original spare parts
from Testo.
> Dangers may also arise from the refrigeration systems being
measured or the measuring environment: Note the safety
regulations valid in your area when performing the
measurements.
> If the measuring instrument falls or another comparable
mechanical load occurs, the pipe sections of the refrigerant
hoses may break. The valve positioners may also be damaged,
whereby further damage to the interior of the measuring
instrument may occur that cannot be identified from the outside.
The refrigerant hoses must therefore be replaced with new,
undamaged refrigerant hoses every time the measuring
instrument falls or following any other comparable mechanical
load. Send the measuring instrument to Testo Customer
Service for a technical check for your own safety.
> Electrostatic charging can destroy the device. Integrate all the
components (system, manifold's valve block, refrigerant bottle
etc.) into the potential equalisation (earthing). Please see the
safety instructions for the system and the refrigerant used.
2.3. Protecting the environment
> Dispose of faulty rechargeable batteries/spent batteries in
accordance with the valid legal specifications.
> At the end of its useful life, send the product to the separate
collection for electric and electronic devices (observe local
regulations) or return the product to Testo for disposal.
> Refrigerant gases can harm the environment. Please note the
applicable environmental regulations.

The testo 557 is a digital manifold for maintenance and service
work on refrigeration systems and heat pumps. The device is only
to be used by qualified expert personnel.
With its functions the testo 557 replaces mechanical manifolds,
thermometers and pressure/temperature charts. Pressures and
temperatures can be applied, adapted, tested and monitored.
The testo 557 is compatible with most of the non-corrosive
refrigerants, water and glycol. The testo 557 is not compatible with
ammoniac refrigerants.
Then product must not be used in explosive environments!
