New Digital and Wi-fi Instruments, Broaden the BlackMax PlaForm with Enhanced Accuracy, Connectivity and Workflow Management
Persevering with its practically 50-year legacy of HVACR innovation, CPS Merchandise, Inc., a worldwide chief in HVACR instruments, devices and repair tools, unveiled the following era of its user-driven BlackMax® premium instruments at AHR Expo 2026. Designed to assist technicians work quicker, smarter and with higher confidence, the brand new digital and wi-fi BlackMax instruments ship enhanced accuracy, streamlined workflows and fashionable connectivity for immediately’s jobsites. Now getting into manufacturing, these improvements had been proven publicly for the primary time at AHR, giving attendees an unique hands-on preview earlier than they develop into accessible by way of distribution later in 2026.
The brand new lineup consists of: BlackMax BMD200 4-Valve Digital Manifold, BTM200 Wi-fi Temperature Clamps and BVG215 Wi-fi Vacuum Gauge—a linked set of instruments constructed to simplify core workflows like diagnostics, evacuation and commissioning. Constructed for the consumer, these are designed to scale back setup time and remove wire litter, the instruments ship clearer readings, stronger accuracy and real-time visibility the place techs want it most: On the unit, on the panel or whereas on the transfer, anyplace on the jobsite.
“With the newest BlackMax improvements, we centered on how technicians truly work—chopping setup time, bettering accuracy and offering higher visibility into system efficiency,” stated Brian Doyle, SVP & Common Supervisor of CPS Merchandise. “These instruments are constructed for the place the HVACR commerce is headed and AHR Expo is the fitting place to introduce what’s subsequent.”
The BlackMax BMD200 Digital Manifold is the inspiration of the BlackMax platform, constructed to assist technicians work quicker and extra confidently on each name. A daring, customizable full-screen show, wi-fi connectivity and rugged jobsite building come along with automated calculations and assist for over 100 refrigerants—together with A2L choices. Completed with metallic management knobs and stainless-steel fittings, the BMD200A is designed to really feel strong in hand and ship reliable efficiency day after day.
Increasing the BlackMax platform into a completely linked measurement system, the BlackMax BTM200 Wi-fi Temperature Clamps ship quick, cordless temperature readings and transmit them on to the BMD200 Digital Manifold for speedy system visibility. Utilizing Line-Assign™ Expertise, the clamps mechanically determine suction-line (SLT) and liquid-line (LLT) temperatures as soon as paired, with intuitive blue/pink LED indicators—eliminating rubber bands, guesswork and crossed strains. Excessive-precision NTC thermistor expertise offers best-in-class accuracy (±1°F with 0.1°F decision), whereas firm-grip jaws accommodate pipe diameters as much as 1-1/2 inches. A premium rubber overmold ensures safe dealing with in real-world jobsite circumstances, making the BTM200 a purpose-built element of the BlackMax linked instrument ecosystem.
For evacuation, the BlackMax BVG215 Wi-fi Vacuum Gauge extends the BlackMax system into high-resolution evacuation measurement and verification. The gauge streams dwell micron knowledge on to the BMD200 Digital Manifold or a cell gadget, permitting technicians to observe progress with out hovering over the pump. Calibrated to NIST requirements, the BVG215 delivers dependable accuracy throughout a large working vary and options an built-in ball valve that lets technicians isolate the gauge with out breaking vacuum. The result’s a smoother evacuation course of, clearer verification and fewer workflow interruptions from begin to end.
Designed to work alone or as a linked system, BlackMax instruments talk wirelessly and combine with CPS Hyperlink Professional™ and supported third-party platforms, together with MeasureQuick®, delivering system knowledge wherever technicians want it—on the manifold, on a cell gadget or throughout the jobsite.
