Calibrating your HB Products Mk2 Defrost Sensor is crucial for accurate performance. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you through the process:
Basic Calibration:
When entering the active wire length and fin distance, the sensor automatically calculates the basic calibration. Make sure the evaporator is dry and free of ice before you begin.
Calibration Using the Green Button:
Press the green button until the red LED turns off.
Press the green button once to finalize the calibration.
Calibration Using the HB-Tool:
Connect the sensor to the HB-Tool using a USB cable.
Open the basic settings tab in the HB-Tool software.
Click the zero-calibration button.
Enter the zero calibration value into the "SPAN calibration in pF" field.
Click "Send Zero/Span values" to complete the calibration.
Heat Pump Version Calibration:
For the heat pump version featuring a thin measuring wire, ensure the sensor is installed on a dry, ice-free evaporator.
Connect the sensor to the HB-Tool using a USB cable.
Follow the HB-Tool calibration steps outlined above.
LED Indicators:
Green LED: Indicates the power supply status and external start signal.
Red LED: Signals the defrost mode or a sensor error.
Fault Detection:
Use the LED signals to identify any potential faults.
Troubleshooting typically involves checking for issues such as incorrect grounding, wire short circuits, or faulty cables.
Following these steps ensures your HB Products Mk2 Defrost Sensor delivers precise readings, optimizing your system's efficiency.
