Hoffman Controls 100-0017-001 Kit

The Hoffman Controls 100-0017-001 Kit is a specialized Alpha Dual Sensor Cable Kit designed for advanced head pressure control in HVACR systems. As a veteran technician, you know that managing low ambient conditions requires precise feedback; this kit provides the secondary sensor input necessary for monitoring dual refrigerant circuits. Specifically engineered for use with Hoffman Controls 800 and 900 series controllers including the 816-10D it allows for modulating condenser fan motor speed based on actual liquid line temperatures. The 10-foot cable length ensures flexible sensor placement on the condenser header or liquid line to maintain optimal head pressure. By integrating this dual sensor cable kit, you prevent compressor slugging and improve overall system efficiency during seasonal transitions. This is a standard 10K Ohm thermistor-based sensing solution that integrates seamlessly with existing Hoffman control logic through provided terminal fork connectors, ensuring a secure and reliable electrical bond for professional HVAC sensor installation.

• Dual Circuit Monitoring: Enables simultaneous tracking of two separate refrigerant circuits for precise fan speed modulation.
• Improved System Reliability: Maintains consistent head pressure to protect compressors from liquid floodback and slugging.
• Simplified Installation: Includes 10-foot shielded, jacketed wire and industrial-grade mounting accessories for rapid field deployment.
• Enhanced HVAC Efficiency: Optimizes condenser performance by accurately sensing sub-cooled liquid line temperatures rather than just ambient air.
• Wide Compatibility: Designed specifically for professional-grade Hoffman Controls speed controllers and sequencers.

Is this kit required for all Hoffman head pressure controllers?
While many controllers ship with a single sensor, the 100-0017-001 is required if you are monitoring a second circuit (DS models) or if the primary sensor has been compromised. It provides the second input needed for the controller to sense the highest temperature between two circuits.

How should the sensor be mounted for the most accurate reading?
For peak performance, mount the sensor at the top of the liquid line where it exits the condenser coil. Use the provided high-temperature tape to ensure the metal tab has firm contact with the copper line, then insulate the assembly to prevent ambient air from skewed readings.

What is the maximum distance I can run these sensor wires?
The kit comes with a 10-foot cable, but you can extend the run up to 75 feet using 22 AWG twisted-pair, shielded, jacketed wire. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent resistance changes that could affect temperature calibration.
