What's in the Box
- 1 x HVAC Pressure Sensor (CTSPS5121225SP)
Using It on the Job
- Isolate Power: Always ensure the system is de-energised and locked out before commencing work. Verify with a suitable voltage tester.
- Depressurise System: If the sensor is on a refrigerant line, safely recover refrigerant using an ARCtick-approved recovery unit until the line is at atmospheric pressure.
- Remove Old Sensor: Carefully disconnect any wiring, noting colours and terminal positions. Use appropriate tools to unthread the faulty sensor, paying attention to any sealants or O-rings.
- Install New Sensor: Apply suitable thread sealant (if specified by the manufacturer) or ensure O-rings are correctly seated. Thread in the new sensor and reconnect wiring accurately as per the system diagram.
- Leak Check & Evacuate: For refrigerant systems, pressure test the affected section with dry nitrogen, thoroughly leak check all connections, then evacuate the section to a deep vacuum (e.g., 500 microns).
- Re-commission: Recharge the system (if applicable), restore power, and verify the new sensor is providing accurate readings through the system's control panel or a diagnostic tool.
Limitations & Safety Notes
- Refrigerant circuit work requires a current ARCtick licence to comply with Australian regulations.
- Always follow Australian standards and Safe Work guidance for all HVAC maintenance tasks.
- Ensure the sensor's pressure and temperature ratings are compatible with your specific application to avoid damage or inaccurate readings.
- Only connect to electrical circuits with correct voltage and current protection; never bypass safety devices.
Tradie Pro Tip
Before installing any new sensor, grab your multimeter and check the resistance or voltage output of the old sensor (if possible) and compare it to the new one if specs are available. It helps confirm you're replacing like-for-like and can quickly spot a dead-on-arrival part, saving you time later.
