Outside the terminal box for A3 regrigerants
If the SE-i1 is used with refrigerants classified as A3 (e.g. propane) and A2, it must not be installed inside the terminal box of the compressor
It must be installed outside the terminal box of the compressor, either in an external terminal box (at least IP54), or inside the system's switch cabinet.
Authorized staff
All work done on the products and the systems in which they are or will be installed may only be performed by qualified and authorised staff who have been trained and instructed in all work. The qualification and competence of the qualified staff must correspond to the local regulations and guidelines.

The connection positions for pressure transmitters at the CS. series vary depending on compressor size. The following videos show the positions for a CS.85 compressor.

Mount the low pressure transmitter
- Spanner SW 16 (counter-hold with spanner SW 14)
- Suitable refrigeration compressor oil
- Torque spanner
- Tightening torque: 35 Nm

Mount the high pressure transmitter
- Spanner SW 16 (counter-hold with spanner SW 14)
- Suitable refrigeration compressor oil
- Torque spanner
- Tightening torque: 35 Nm

Create a vacuum at the high pressure side (at least -0,5 bar)
This ensures that no oil leaks through the connection when the discharge gas temperature sensor gets replaced.
- Vacuum pump
Remove existing discharge gas temperature sensor (PTC) and install new discharge gas temperature sensor (NTC)
- Work quickly!
