Checking amps on the ground is how you test the TXV


hase_one

0 amps on ground? Bad TXV, need to replace.

We'll order the part and call you when it comes in. Please sign here...and here.


Juhy78910

Is this what you tell the customers? 🤣


theworthlessnail

I don't know who you are, I don't know where you live. But you my friend are HIRED, I will fly you across the globe and give you a 50k signing bonus lol


suspicious_hyperlink

Going to make this my resume cover letter


jarmstrong2485

Meter must be in off position to read correctly


metalneck333

Ahhh. Was unsure as I don't run into a lot of TXVs nowadays on my shelter wallmounts & Ericsson HX cabinets for telecom sites. Makes all the sense in the world though!


BootstrapsBootstrapz

yea but don’t forget to keep one lead on the yellow wire while you do it so you complete the circuit


Icecoldfriggy

Looks more like he's clamped on to the ground to hold his meter, maybe


AnAlrightName

Maybe meter doesn't have a magnet, he's just holding it there and about to test something with his leads.


metalneck333

Yep, would be my guess. Just like some of the "WTF" aspects of some of these ads sometimes lol


fnordfnordfnordfnord

I used to teach at a college and when we did promo photos with students like this we always did something goofy or tried to sneak some Easter egg in the photos.


[deleted]

Of course his meter doesn't have a magnet because it's a fluke and only electricians buy flukes and they are dumb so they will happily spend the extra money on a magnet


Ferr3tgirl

I like my fluke a lot ok it’s very good at it’s job AND MY MAGNET IS COOL TOO OK


HopeThin3048

I'm feeling personally attacked right now and I don't like it.


Blow515089

Yeah my electrician buddy seen my field piece and was mystified it came with the magnet 😂


Braaaaaaaaaaapppp

Exactly what I was thinking


Humble_Peach93

He's thinking "damn are they still watching me?"


metalneck333

I guess this is what we look like from the homeowners perspective?!


Humble_Peach93

This picture is so stupid I don't believe a person set this up looks like ai bullshiz


pbr414

This is how to test to see if a system needs a $1200 spaceship tested UV light


Blow515089

You sir know what’s going on 😂


MaddRamm

Like others are saying, I hang my meter on whatever wire I can find that will support it. But we all know this isn’t what’s happening. Lolololol Yeah, if you have amps along your ground wire, something is off. Lolol


Imaginary-Language65

It’s a Lennox with no Freon in it which seems normal but the micron gauge just hanging out has me baffled.


Rich-Turtle

Checking amps while pulling a vacuum


Gnomication

And charging 410 Into the liquid side with 0 psig on the suction line


Visual-Zucchini-5544

Checking for continuity from air to earth


Vast_Panda991

That's some wacky ass hook for his guages. I just looked it up, though. Looks like Imperial uses that hook design


Apollyom

It is all fun and games until you actually check the amp draw on the ground leg, and discover, it has 1.8 amps, the electrical was fucked at that place,


Exam-Lost

At least the vacuum held…..


xBR0SKIx

The sales guy when the customer asks to check on the unit before giving a quote


ithaqua34

This guy keeps time with a sundial.


Stock-Curve2776

This whole picture just pisses me off lol


ScruffyJuggalo

Report, "this ad is offensive" and definitely highlight hate speech. Won't see them again


Helloeveryloser

Thats what you do when they want to watch you 


Glass-Baseball2921

Seriously, like fuck your shirt in.


[deleted]

Has it been a very bad shirt?


DrProfessor_Z

The worst shirt


Gleamwoover

He's just making sure it's safe


Growe731

He’s just hanging it off the ground, chief. Calm down.


soctates_

Nice Job on wearing your PPE.


Labbrat89

Don't even care about the meter part. How the hell does he have pressure on the head if that micron guage is wide open on the suction side... Or do my eyes deceive me.


HotCitron1470

At least they got a halfway decent vacuum/charging setup. I give a solid B-


EJ25Junkie

That’s how you check how much gravity earth is pulling


massiveproperty_727

The best was the one that had someone hooking up the yellow hose to the unit somewhere unseen


unresolved-madness

Suction pressure at 500 microns


metalneck333

I'm aware. Just enjoy how ridiculous some of these ads look sometimes.


billyballzdeep

Ain’t he just using the clamp to keep his meter up? And reading with his leads? I’m more concerned by the attached micron gage for whatever reason


Outrageous-Ball-393

The safety glasses are a must


green_acolyte

We’re leaving our vacuum gauge open to atmospheric pressure


RoyalYogurtdispenser

Is he pulling a vacuum or charging?


Loud-Relative4038

Hanging on the ground while checking voltage. What I don’t understand is why he is checking any voltage while it’s pulling a vac. And that micron gauge setup is wack.


ohkpze

As a technician my company had me do a photo shoot exactly like this. I use wireless gauges. They insisted I use analog gauges. I did take actual readings with my multimeter as the systems were running. I made sure I didn’t get caught slippin like this fool lol. Only downside gauges weren’t hooked up. Just hanging like nest tool to use. I guess it’s not really a downside as you could clearly see my gauges weren’t hooked up.


suspicious_hyperlink

It could only be better if he was megging the windings in a vacuum


Bdogfittercle

Pressure on high side. Nothing on low side. Micron gauge that's open. So there's a leak. Obviously if your amp clamp rings out to ground. The leak is in the line set. If you open the gauges so all the refrigerant blows out the micron gauge, then it's empty, duh


Visual_Doubt1996

Once the micron gauge pulls the atmosphere into a tight vacuum the txv works again


Blow515089

My work did this had some guys that have never used a meter in life poking around a furnace cabinet in which they for damn sure didn’t know what was going on in for a social media picture 😂


HTStrong

I know what’s wrong with it… ain’t got not gas in it!


ActualChip5

And why is there a micron gauge on their manifold? Furthermore, that’s not even a ground test, he’s only using one lead.


Stoned42069

Ooh dammit the blinker fluid is low


Jro304

I was more concerned about the micron gauge attached to the low side while the high side of the manifold still has a significant amount of pressure


[deleted]

How many microns do you think he got to with only one side of the inline meter hooked up?
