A87-0092

→ Pin assignment for air conditioner pressure switch -F129

Switch between contact 1 and 2 (opens in the event of vacuum and overpressure in the refrigerant circuit - the compressor is switched off)

Switch between contacts 3 and 4 (closes if pressure increases in the refrigerant circuit - the radiator fan is switched to 2nd speed)

Pin assignment at refrigerant temperature switch -F18 / -F54

Switch -F54 (between contact 1 and 2 closes at approx. 95 °C - the radiator fans are switched to 1st speed).

Switch -F18 (between contact 3 and 2 closes at approx. 102 °C - the radiator fans are switched to 2nd speed).

Refrigerant temperature control switch (too hot) -F14

Switch opens at approx. 118 °C - the compressor is switched off.

Note:

Only installed in vehicles with pressure switch -F129
