-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [admin] Non Function Water Sensor on Dampp-Chaser Tank Date: Sat, 1 Aug 2009 12:47:34 -0500 From: Arbeau Piano <ArbeauPiano at comcast.net> To: <pianotech-owner at ptg.org> *Subject:* Non Function Water Sensor on Dampp-Chaser Tank Has anyone had occasion intermittent problems with the water light on Dampp-Chaser Humidifier Tanks not indicating the tank is low? I have had occasionally systems that the water sensor has not functioned until the Smart bracket(Red Pad) Light is on if even then. Now, I have discovered that *the location indicated for this sensor* from "_Piano Life Saver/Dampp-Chaser_"(see Attached Drawing) *has been in a place that the wicks may occasionally contact the sensor prongs* and fails to signal that the tank is requiring water. Therefore the customer may only have the red lights to indicate that something is wrong until the wicks are bone dry. A few years ago these rods had plastic tubes over them which prevented a completed circuit or false reading based on no contact to the rods. In contacting Dampp-Chaser they have stated this has not been an issue that has been noticed from any other technicians thus far based on "no information to them". *The solution:* is to simply, move the location of the sensor rods to clip/attach off one of the end brackets(instead of the center clip as indicated on their drawing) in a direction that would allow clearance for the wicks should they drift slightly and yet not contact the water sensor rods. Am I the only one that has noticed this??? Sensitive to non-sensors! Jerry, Arbeau Piano -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
