Room Temperature Sensor: Inspection
- INSPECT ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance

NOTE:- Hold the sensor only by its connector. Touching the sensor may change the resistance value.
- When measuring, the sensor temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.
HINT:
As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (see the graph).
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the room temperature sensor.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
