8-2-5 Temperature Sensor Circuit

The upper CIRCUIT reads REFRIGERATOR temperature, FREEZER Temperature, and DEFROST-SENSOR temperature
for defrosting and the indoor temperature for compensating for the surrounding temperature into MICOM.
OPENING or SHORT state of each TEMPERATURE SENSOR are as follows:
