Paperwork Solved: Connecting Fieldpiece to AU Compliance Apps

If you’re an Aussie HVAC tech or apprentice, you’ve probably spent a fair few hours hunched over clipboards or squinting at Excel sheets, ticking boxes for compliance. Let’s be real—no one becomes a tradie for the paperwork.

Here’s the good news: Fieldpiece digital manifolds, like the SM480V and SM380V from HVAC Trade Supply, don’t just read pressures—they can connect to mobile apps that do the data logging, reporting, and emailing for you.

This blog covers how to:

• Set up your Fieldpiece manifold for mobile connectivity

• Pair with Aussie-compliant HVAC apps

• Make compliance reporting less of a chore

Why Compliance Reporting Is So Crucial in Australia

HVAC compliance isn’t just a formality. With strict EPA regulations, licensing requirements from the Australian Refrigeration Council (ARC), and customer expectations for detailed reports, tradies need to stay sharp.

If you're working with refrigerants like R32 or R410A, you know how closely your work can be scrutinized—especially in commercial jobs or ducted installs in new developments.

Manual logs are still accepted, but digital logs:

• Reduce human error

• Save heaps of time

• Help with auditing or future servicing

That’s where Fieldpiece comes in.

What Makes Fieldpiece Manifolds App-Ready?

The beauty of Fieldpiece isn’t just the gauges—it’s their smart Job Link® System. This built-in wireless connectivity lets your manifold talk directly to your phone or tablet.

Here’s what makes it all possible:

• Bluetooth pairing with Job Link® app

• Live data streaming for superheat, subcooling, pressures, and temps

• Data logging + job summaries (exportable as PDFs)

• Integration with third-party apps used in Australia

You can find these features on models like:

• SM480V Digital 4-Port Wireless Manifold

• SM380V Digital 3-Port Wireless Manifold

Step-by-Step: How to Connect Fieldpiece to Your Reporting App

Step 1: Download the Job Link® App
Get it free from the App Store or Google Play.
✅ iOS & Android compatible
✅ No ongoing subscriptions required

Step 2: Pair Your Manifold

1. Turn on your SM480V or SM380V

2. Open Job Link®

3. Tap “Add Tool” → select your manifold

Step 3: Start a New Job Session
The app will auto-detect:

• System pressures

• Line temps via clamp probes

• Superheat/subcool values

Step 4: Export & Share the Data
Tap “Email Report” → choose PDF or CSV.
You can add:

Step 5: Link to Local Apps (Optional)
In Australia, many techs use:

• Aroflo for compliance and project management

• ServiceM8 for job sheets and reporting

• SimPRO for commercial workflows

These apps can accept PDF uploads or data exports from Job Link, making it easy to attach pressure logs and job summaries directly to customer records or ARC files.

Real Talk from the Field

“Before Fieldpiece, I’d have to take pressure readings by hand, then write up a report in the van. Now, I just tap ‘send’ in Job Link and my client gets the report in seconds.”
– James, HVAC technician, Brisbane

“We use SimPRO in our company and being able to attach Job Link reports to our tickets has saved our admin team hours each week.”
– Amanda, service coordinator, Perth

Bonus: Tips to Get the Most from Job Link in Australia

✅ Label Each Tool
If you’ve got multiple devices (clamps, vacuum gauges), name each one for faster pairing.

✅ Use Geo-Tagging
Enable location services to match your jobs with site addresses—handy for future servicing or disputes.

✅ Stay Synced
Use cloud storage (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox) to back up reports and access them from office desktops.

✅ Double-Check Firmware Updates
Fieldpiece regularly updates firmware for Bluetooth stability. Use the Job Link® app to check for updates.
