Temperature Sensing Equipment
TEMPERATURE SENSING EQUIPMENT
Correct climate control diagnosis requires an accurate and reliable temperature sensing device. A high quality analog thermometer or a digital pyrometer is recommended.
TYPICAL USE: A/C PERFORMANCE QUICK CHECK

- Blower Volume Medium Speed Temperature Wheel "Max Cold
- "Snowflake" Button A/C On
- Test conditions > 3 minutes
- Center vent discharge 20°F less than the ambient temperature.
DIS TEMPERATURE PROBE
The Diagnosis and Information System (DIS) tester is equipped with a temperature sensor cable, stored in the compartment at the rear of the tester. It can be used to measure the temperatures of liquids and gasses from -2O°to 200°C.
To use the DIS as a thermometer:
- Select "Measurement System" button on the DIS start screen.
- Select "Temperature C" button on the "Measuring System Multimeter" screen.
COOLING/HEAT GUN
To simulate testing temperatures use the approved "Heating/Cooling Gun Kit, (Reference SI Bulletin 04 14 89.)
