A. Description
The sensing element, Figure 1, has an Inconel sheath that contains two electrical
conductors in a thermistor material. One conductor is welded to the terminal lug
ring. The other is the ground conductor and is welded to the shell of the sensing
element.

The necessary test equipment and materials are given in Table 2. All test equip-
ment must have an applicable calibration approval label.
NOTE: You can use alternative test equipment and materials for those given
in Table 2.
1. Let the temperature of the sensing element become stable at ambient room
temperature. Write the ambient temperature.
C. Functional Tests
The continuity test measures the maximum resistance between each termi-
nal lug for each sensing element shown in Table 1, Specified Data. Replace
a sensing element that has more resistance than the specified value.
a. Connect the ohmmeter test leads to the sensing-element terminal lug at
each end of the sensing element.
b. Measure the continuity resistance of the sensing element and make sure
the resistance is at or lower than the specified maximum resistance
shown in Table 1.

The insulation resistance test measures the resistance between the conduc-
tor that is not grounded and the grounded conductor of the sensing element.
Refer to Table 3, Minimum Insulation Resistance. Replace a sensing ele-
ment that has a lower resistance than that given.
a. Connect the negative megohmmeter lead to the sensing element shell.
See Figure 2.

A. Not Applicable.
4. Disassembly
A. Remove the nuts, screws, and washers from the terminal lug ends to disassem-
ble the sensing elements. Keep the nuts, screws and washers for assembly.
5. Cleaning
6. Check
A. Visually examine the sensing elements for deep abrasions or cuts. Replace cut
sensing elements or sensing elements that have thermistor material that you can
see.
B. Visually examine the sensing elements for signs of wear. If wear is found, put the
sensing element in position so that it will not touch adjacent components.
C. Visually examine the sensing elements to make sure that they have not been
twisted. If damage is shown, replace the sensing element.
D. Visually examine the sensing element terminal lugs for contamination; clean as
necessary.
E. Examine the ceramic portion of the terminal lugs. Make sure that the terminal
lugs are correctly attached. If the terminal lugs are loose or damaged, replace the
sensing element.
F. Visually examine the sensing-element terminal lug ends for hardware that is not
there. Replacement parts numbers are given below:

2. If the sensing element is to be shipped, make sure that the storage container
and cushioning material is satisfactory for shipment by commercial carrier.
Make sure that the sensing element does not touch the storage container.
A. General
This section describes special tools, fixtures and equipment that are not usually
included in a mechanic’s tool box, but are necessary to test and assemble the
component.
NOTE: You can use alternative special tools, fixtures and equipment for
those given in Table 6.
A. Not Applicable.
