ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR INSPECTION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR (COOLER (ROOM TEMP. SENSOR) THERMISTOR)


    1. A0009R7E10
      A0009HWE10

      Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1 (+) - 2 (-) 10°C (50°F) 3.00 to 3.73 kΩ
      1 (+) - 2 (-) 15°C (59°F) 2.45 to 2.88 kΩ
      1 (+) - 2 (-) 20°C (68°F) 1.95 to 2.30 kΩ
      1 (+) - 2 (-) 25°C (77°F) 1.60 to 1.80 kΩ
      1 (+) - 2 (-) 30°C (86°F) 1.28 to 1.47 kΩ
      1 (+) - 2 (-) 35°C (95°F) 1.00 to 1.22 kΩ
      1 (+) - 2 (-) 40°C (104°F) 0.80 to 1.00 kΩ
      1 (+) - 2 (-) 45°C (113°F) 0.65 to 0.85 kΩ
      1 (+) - 2 (-) 50°C (122°F) 0.50 to 0.70 kΩ
      1 (+) - 2 (-) 55°C (131°F) 0.44 to 0.60 kΩ
      1 (+) - 2 (-) 60°C (140°F) 0.36 to 0.50 kΩ

      Note


      • Hold the sensor only by its connector. Touching the sensor may change the resistance value.

      • When measuring, the sensor temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.

      Tech Tips

      As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (see the graph).
