Installing a ULT Sensor in a refrigerator or freezer
Special notes to consider prior to installation
1. Most -80 freezers have a standard sensor placement which is at the central depth and height of the fridge.
2. Depending on the manufacturer of the appliance, a third-party sensor port may be available but not always easily accessible. These ports are usually located on the top, side, or back of the appliance. If the port is not accessible, run the Sonicu sensor cable through the hinged side of the ULT freezer.
3. If your appliance has a port, make sure to seal the port with Plumber’s Putty or similar after running the cable through it and secure the cable to the meter and complete any cable management necessary to secure the cable.
Installation of your ULT Sensor Instructions
1. Check your appliance for a dedicated port that you can use to feed the sensor cable. This port is often on the back or side of the appliance and is usually close to 1 inch in diameter. If your appliance does not have a dedicated port, you will run the cable through the door hinge of the appliance.
2. Inside your appliance, choose where you want to place your Sonicu Sensor. It is recommended to place the sensor away from the appliance’s compressor, which could skew readings.
3. Secure the sensor in place with zip ties and tie blocks or other cable management devices if necessary.
4. Run the cable through the port, or door hinge if no port is available, and into the desired input on the underside of your SoniShield Duo. Make sure that the sensor cable is taut and not sagging.
*Special note* If you need to run your sensor through your door hinge and the round sensor lead for the ULT Sensor is causing an issue, or if you have a worry regarding the seal on your -80 Freezer, Sonicu does have flat sensor cables available. These flat sensor cables come in lengths of 6ft, 15ft, and 25ft.
