phx42 Charger Update

The next delivery of phx42 chargers has been delayed until 5/1/23 (they were expected on 3/1).

Until the next delivery arrives, we can ONLY repair chargers received with the charging tip. We do not have any full assemblies to sell for repairs or RMAs.

We recommend reviewing the information shared in the September Tech Tip – phx42 Charger Care with your Technicians to avoid damaging your existing charger inventory.

If you have phx42 chargers currently in need of repair, please request an RMA. 


Please contact support@ldartools.com with any questions.

New Pump Clamp Tool

Pump Clamp Tool
When installing pumps in the phx42, there is a chance of breaking barbs and the pump clip. To make this process easier, we have added a new pump clamp tool to the pump assembly.

This tool temporarily bends the tubing on the
pump assembly to assist with installation,
and is now shipping with the pump assembly.
If you already have pumps in your inventory
and would like to request the clamp tool,
contact store@ldartools.com.

The work instructions have been updated to
include this clamp, with YouTube videos
available for both types of pump
installations.

REMINDER: You must report an issue through the phxApp Self-check process and receive notification from LDARtools Tech Support before proceeding with any on-site repairs.

phx42 Probe Testing Adapter Now Available

The Probe Testing Adapter was designed to help you identify the root cause of filter related errors such as:

.               

How to use the Probe Testing Adapter

When a filter error is not resolved by following the on-screen prompts:

  1. Remove the probe, attach the Probe Testing Adapter with a clean probe tip filter, and run a self-check.
  2. If there are no errors, then the probe was the cause of the issue. Report the probe issue to LDARtools support.
  3. If there are errors, submit the issue to LDARtools and comment: “Self-check completed with Probe Testing Adapter”.

The Probe Testing Adapter (LDAR#4300) is now available on StoreLDAR.com and will ship with phx42 tool kits (LDAR#4203) beginning April 1, 2021.

LDAR Probe Contest Produces First Class phx42 Probe Carrying Ideas

Many thanks to everyone who participated in our phx42 Probe Carrying Contest.
We had many entrants and have decided to name even more winners than we had originally
planned.

The Grand Prize of $250 goes to Bruce Phillips (with Lily/ERM). Bruce’s method features a
swivel carabiner (to allow the probe to lay flat in any position) and a d-clip to secure the probe
tip from swinging while climbing. (The attractive hoody was not part of the contest, but we
have had inquiries about where Bruce got it.)

 

phx42 TVA Probe

Congratulations to Bruce!

 

We are also awarding $100 prizes to the folks who submitted these innovative ideas:

$100 Winners Company Cool Idea
John DeMaio and Brett Burt with Steve West Solvay Gear Keeper Lanyard allows the movement of the probe to full range but protects the probe from swinging while the tech is moving.
Denise Celestine HydroChem PSC Carabiner with ring hanging from backpack strap.
Shirley Barron HydroChem PSC Bringing probe hose through the opening in the top of the backpack- rather than leaving a gap in the zipper.
Wesley Nelson Team Chevron Great video showing the use of heat shrink, shock-absorbing lanyard and carabiner.

 

Note: the money will be donated to the Make a Wish Foundation on behalf of those individuals who could not accept it due to their employer’s policy prohibiting such foolishness!
