AD-1252 Thermal Dispersion Probe Airflow Measuring System Installation Instructions

22

Factory Menu

The factory menu is used to calibrate the sensors. Do 
not adjust the sensors by using this menu, unless you 
are directed to do so by a factory representative or 
Johnson Controls field technical support. 

Repair Information

If the AD-1252 Thermal Dispersion Probe Airflow 
Measuring System fails to operate within its 
specifications, replace the unit. For a replacement 
AD-1252 System, contact the nearest 
Johnson Controls representative. 

Maintenance

Twice a year, scroll through the velocity and 
temperature values using UP and DOWN (Figure 12)
Remove the thermal dispersion probes and clean the 
sensor nodes if readings vary from normal readings.

Note:

SuprClean™ Defluxer by MicroCare 

(MCC-SPR) can be used to clean the sensor nodes. 
You can find the product on the All-Spec Industries 
Web site located here: http://www.all-spec.com/
products/MCCSPR.html.

Annually inspect the thermal dispersion probe in 
unfiltered outside air, return air, or exhaust air 
applications to ensure that the thermal dispersion 
probe is free of excessive buildup of lint, dust, or other 
airborne particulates. 

To remove the electronic probes:

1.

When the sensors are cool, remove the cover from 
the DMPR-RA002 Electronic Controller and turn 
the power switch off.

2.

Unplug the shielded CAT5e cable from the RJ45 
connector on the end of the thermal dispersion 
probe.

3.

Remove the mounting screws from the mounting 
plates on both sides of the thermal dispersion 
probe. On the side with the RJ45 connector, 
remove the four Phillips screws securing the 
mounting plate.

4.

Remove the lock nut and the washer from the 
mounting stud.

5.

Slide the thermal dispersion probe out of the duct 
from the side with the RJ45 connector.

6.

Wipe down the thermal dispersion probe with a 
damp cloth. Ensure that the sensor is on the 
bottom side of the probe during cleaning so any 
moisture encountered in the cleaning process will 
drain out of the probe and sensor.

7.

Remove lint, dust, and other matter from the 
opening of the sensor shroud by blowing through 
the hole or using a soft bristle brush. Do not use 
high pressure air. Care must be taken not to bend 
the thermistors while cleaning. The leads of the 
thermistors are fragile and can break if bent.

8.

Replace the thermal dispersion probe assembly in 
the duct by reversing Step 3 through Step 7.

9.

When the sensors are dry, power on the unit.
