Safety Instructions 

 
CAUTION! Always read the operational guidelines before commencing work!  Read all warnings Installation of HBDF 
requires technical knowledge of both refrigeration and electronics. Only qualified personnel should work with the 
product. The technician must be aware of the consequences of an improperly installed sensor and must be committed to 
adhering to the applicable local legislation.   
 
If changes are made to type-approved equipment, this type of approval becomes void. The product's input and output, as 
well as its accessories, may only be connected as shown in this guide. HB Products assumes no responsibility for 
damages resulting from not adhering to the above.  
 
Explanation of the symbol for safety instructions. In this guide, the symbol below is used to point out important safety 
instructions for the user. It will always be found in places in the chapters where the information is relevant. The safety 
instructions and the warnings must always be read and adhered to.  
 

 

CAUTION! Refers to a possible limitation of functionality or risk in usage. 
NOTE!  Contains important additional information about the product and provides further tips.   
The person responsible for operation must commit to adhering to all the legislative requirements, 
preventing accidents, and doing everything to avoid damage to people and materials. 

 
Intended use, terms of use. The HBDF defrosting sensor is designed for measuring ice formation on evaporators. If the 
HBDF is to be used in a different way and if the operation of the product in this function is determined to be 
problematic, prior approval must be obtained from HB Products. 
 
Defrosting with hot gas must be performed in a safe way to ensure that there is no risk for liquid hammering and 
leakage of refrigerant.  
Preventing collateral damage: Make sure that qualified personnel assess any faults and take necessary precautions 
before attempting to make replacements or repairs, to avoid collateral damage. Disposal instructions: HBDF is 
constructed so that the modules can easily be removed and sorted for disposal.
