Function
Switching off the A/C compressor
The refrigerant pressure sensor transfers the current value to the pushbutton control module. When the following values are present the A/C compressor is switched off by the pushbutton control module:
- Refrigerant pressure < 2 bar = A/C compressor off
- Refrigerant pressure >28 bar = A/C compressor off
Switching on the auxiliary fan
The pressure measured by the refrigerant pressure sensor is also compared with a value stored in the pushbutton control module.
When the following values are present the fan is adjusted infinitely:
- Refrigerant pressure >16 bar = fan low speed
- Refrigerant pressure >20 bar = fan maximum speed
