Sensors

At Hewa you will find sensors for ALPS EXCLUSIVE ARTIC and URBAN LINE heat pumps. This category is intended for installers, service technicians and technical buyers looking for sensors for pressure measurement, fault diagnosis, maintenance or technical replacement.

Sensors transmit important measurement values to the heat pump control system. Always check the exact heat pump model, article number, EAN, measuring range, connection, signal type and technical version of the original sensor before ordering.

Sensors for ALPS EXCLUSIVE ARTIC and URBAN LINE heat pumps

Sensors are used in compatible ALPS EXCLUSIVE ARTIC and URBAN LINE heat pumps to measure, monitor and transmit technical values to the controller. Depending on the configuration, this may involve temperature measurement, pressure monitoring, flow detection or protection of specific components within the heat pump system.

Correct sensor values are important for diagnosis, control, safety and stable heat pump operation. The correct spare part depends on the series, unit type, article number, sensor type, measuring range, connection, cable length, mounting position and technical configuration of the unit.

Important checks for sensors

  • Check whether the sensor is suitable for the relevant ALPS EXCLUSIVE ARTIC or URBAN LINE version.
  • Compare the article number, sensor type, measuring range, connector, cable length and mounting position with the original component.
  • Check the sensor for damage, cable breakage, moisture ingress, loose connectors, corrosion or abnormal measured values.
  • Look for fault codes, illogical temperature readings, pressure warnings, flow faults or protection functions that are activated without a clear cause.
  • Also inspect the PCB control, connectors, wiring harness, sensor position and the technical condition of the component being measured.

Application, replacement and technical attention points

A sensor may need to be replaced when the heat pump shows fault codes, registers incorrect values, switches irregularly or activates a protection function without a clear cause. Sensor faults can be caused by wear, moisture, cable damage, contamination, poor connector contact or deviations in the component being measured.

Work on electrical and refrigeration-related components must be carried out by a qualified technician. After replacement, the measured value, connection, mounting position, cable routing, fault messages, control behaviour and operation of the associated circuit should be checked.

Frequently asked questions about sensors

What are sensors used for in a heat pump?

Sensors measure technical values such as temperature, pressure or flow and transmit this information to the controller. The heat pump uses these values for control, protection, diagnosis and efficient operation.

When should a sensor be replaced?

Replacement may be required in case of fault codes, illogical measured values, cable breakage, damaged connectors, moisture ingress, corrosion or when the heat pump no longer responds correctly to the measured value.

Does every sensor fit every ALPS EXCLUSIVE heat pump?

No, sensors differ by series, unit type and technical configuration. Always check the article number, sensor type, measuring range, connection, cable length and mounting position before ordering a spare part.

Is a fault code always caused by the sensor itself?

No, a fault code can also be caused by wiring, connectors, PCB control, contamination, incorrect mounting or an actual issue in the circuit being measured. Diagnosis should therefore always be carried out completely.

Can a sensor be installed by the end user?

For safe and correct operation, installation should be carried out by a qualified technician. Electrical connection, measured value verification, mounting position and system diagnosis must be technically checked.
