Copeland 998-0162-00 Replacement Sensor

The Copeland 998-0162-00 Replacement Sensor is a critical component for maintaining the operational integrity of Sentronic oil pressure control systems. Designed specifically for Sentronic 3 and legacy oil safety controls, this sensor kit provides essential differential pressure monitoring to protect semi-hermetic compressors from lubrication failure. This genuine Copeland replacement part includes the thermistor-based sensor, required gaskets, and a high-durability cable to ensure a leak-proof seal and reliable electrical continuity in harsh refrigeration environments. As a veteran technician knows, maintaining the 7 to 9 PSID differential is vital; this sensor accurately communicates with the Sentronic module to trigger a timed shutdown if oil pressure falls below the safe threshold for more than 120 seconds. Whether you are servicing a Copeland Discus compressor or a standard condensing unit, this kit is the industry standard for preventing catastrophic bearing wear and expensive teardowns.

• Direct OEM Compatibility: Engineered as a drop-in replacement for Sentronic and Sentronic+ systems, ensuring seamless integration with existing Copeland refrigeration controls.
• Enhanced Environmental Resistance: Features a moisture-resistant faceplate and corrosion-resistant materials suitable for outdoor condensing units and industrial applications.
• Comprehensive Kit: Includes the sensor, copper washer, O-ring, and interface cable, eliminating the need to source individual hardware for a standard oil pressure sensor replacement.
• Precision Monitoring: High-accuracy thermistor technology provides consistent resistance feedback, allowing the control module to detect low oil pressure conditions instantly.

Is this sensor compatible with older Sentronic modules?
Yes, the 998-0162-00 can be utilized with legacy modules; however, depending on the generation of your existing control, you may need to field-wire the sensor cable directly to the module to ensure proper communication.

Does this kit include the mounting hardware?
The kit is comprehensive and includes the 998-0162-00 sensor, required gaskets, and the necessary cable, which are the standard components required for a typical field service replacement.

What are the symptoms of a failing Sentronic sensor?
Common indicators include persistent nuisance trips where the Sentronic module shows a red LED despite verified oil levels, or the module failing to reset after pressure has been stabilized within the 12-14 PSID range.
