Description

  1. The photo sensor is located in the center of the defrost nozzle.
  2. The photo sensor contains a photodiode (photovoltaic cell) sensitive to sunlight. The solar radiation received by its light-receiving part generates an electromotive force proportional to the amount of radiation received, which is sent to the automatic temperature control unit to compensate for solar radiation.
