Solar Sensor (223)

Location

Solar sensor (223).

Main task

The solar sensor provides information regarding the intensity of the sun and its position.






Type

The solar sensor contains 5 solar cells: left, right, front, rear and top. The treated plastic housing allows infrared light (heat radiation) through only. The ACC control module sends a B+ pulse feed to the sensor and grounds the sensor. Voltage from the 5 sensor elements are sent in succession to the ACC unit which then calculates the sun's intensity and position.






Connect

Solar sensor pin 1 receives a B+ pulse feed from ACC control module pin 11 (K18) and is connected to ground with pin 4 from ACC control module pin 12 (K18). Voltage from the 5 sensor elements are sent in succession from pin 2 to ACC control module pin 4 (K18).
