Presto-Link Demonstration & Training

David Newman, FW Webb

Take the guess work out of trying to read your technicians and drivers’ handwriting when it comes to leak checks, pressure tests, and flow and lock up. By connecting a smart phone or tablet via blue tooth to the Presto Link device, you can efficiently document all testing, as well as checking how much vacuum is on a new tank before attempting to prep it for service. No more “pencil whipping” numbers onto a piece of paper to be read by office staff – a clean document can be saved to your database. Appliance model and serial numbers can also be documented in the device. A great tool for technicians, office workers and management.
