If you’ve determined that the fan speed sensor on your Salford AB200DS2 or AB200DSM has failed, replacing it is a quick and easy process. This guide will walk you through the step-by-step instructions to safely and efficiently install a new fan speed sensor.
Step-by-Step Instructions
CAUTION: Before beginning work on the machine ensure that the chassis is off, and that there is no power going to the fan.
1. Remove the Fan Cage Guard
- Locate the cage guard covering the fan.
- Identify the two nuts securing the cage guard.
- Remove the nuts and carefully take the cage off.
2. Disconnect the Failed Fan Speed Sensor
- Unplug the current (failed) fan speed sensor.
- Locate the 1-1/8 inch nut that holds the sensor in place.
- Loosen the nut to release the old sensor.
- Remove the sensor completely.
3. Install the New Fan Speed Sensor
- Take the new fan speed sensor and position it correctly.
- On the hub of the fan, identify the two bolt heads that measure fan speed. A 1/16-inch air gap is required between the sensor face and the bolt heads used to measure the fan speed. If you do not have a feeler gauge you may be able to use the narrow profile of a zip tie to ensure the correct spacing.
3. Once the correct spacing is set, tighten the nuts securing the sensor.
4. Reassemble the Fan Cage
- Plug in the new fan speed sensor securely.
- Reattach the fan cage guard.
- Ensure that the cage guard is properly secured by tightening the nuts.
Tips and Troubleshooting
- Double-check all connections before turning the system back on.
- Ensure the sensor is aligned properly to prevent inaccurate fan speed readings.
Replacing the fan speed sensor on your Salford AB200DS2 or AB200DSM is a straightforward task that can prevent operational issues and keep your equipment running efficiently. By following these simple steps, you can quickly replace the sensor and get back to work.
