Kelvinator heat pump hot water system temperature sensor connection 17
Installing the temperature sensor in the storage tank
The copper end of the sensor cable is the temperature
sensing device and is to be installed in the sensor pocket
located at the “return” connection on the storage tank. When
inserting the sensor into the sensor pocket, ensure that it
is inserted all the way into the pocket and reaches the end.
Install the plug and fix the clamp to the sensor pocket using
the screws provided. This will prevent the temperature sensor
from being pulled out of the pocket and seals it from the
outside environment.
return
The heat pump requires feedback of the water temperature
inside the storage tank in order to determine when it needs
to operate. To achieve this the temperature sensor (supplied
with the heat pump) is required to be run between the heat
pump and the storage tank. It is recommended that the sensor
cable be neatly cable tied to the conduit or pipe work that
runs between the storage tank and heat pump. Any excess
cable should be neatly tied in a loop and kept out of the
way. However, if it is a possibility that the sensor cable could
become damaged during the life of the hot water system, it is
recommended that it be protected by installation in a conduit
or similar protective means.
Connecting the sensor cable at the heat pump
Inside the heat pump’s terminal box is a female plug socket
that the male plug end of the sensor cable plugs into. Push the
male plug into the female socket until it clicks into place.
