Samsung AQV12VBAN extension of temperature probe cable?

[Vasilis]

Hello ,

I have two Samsung AQV12VBAN units and i would like to extend the cables of the in door temperature sensor so the unit can sense the temperature at 1,5 meters high.

Is it a difficult job ? do i have to dismount the unit in order to do it properly ?

yes this can be done and is quite simple,the return air sensor is located top right under the glass frontage,from memory these have an throw of 8m3/min so be careful to not over work the system

always isolate and tag electrical source before under taking this kind of work

Forgot to say that i am not an electrician or ref. technician :D

The idea is to unscrew the old sensor (which has a short cable) , get it out of the unit , go to a specialty a/c shop and buy an identical sensor with longer cable which i will screw it back in place.

Is this possible to be done by me ? I guess that a new longer sensor would not cost more than 10 euro... The problem is that i can't see where the existing sensor cable is plugged in (not enough space to check and play).
