CHECKOUT
Sensors connect to the outdoor control through a field‐replaceable harness assembly that plugs into the control. Through the
sensors, the control detects outdoor ambient, coil and liquid temperature fault conditions. As the detected temperature
changes, the resistance across the sensor changes. Table 18 on page 78 shows how the resistance varies as the temperature
changes for both type of sensors. Check sensor operation by reading ohms across pins shown in figure 58.
NOTE - When checking the ohms across a sensor, be aware that a sensor showing a resistance value that is not within the
range shown in table 18 on page 78, may be performing as designed. However, if a shorted or open circuit is detected, then the
sensor may be faulty and the sensor harness will need to be replaced.
