Application
The HK02YB160 fan pressure switch is a critical safety and control component used in Carrier residential and light commercial HVAC systems. It is typically installed in the refrigerant circuit to monitor high-side pressure, triggering fan or compressor shutdown when pressure exceeds the close setpoint of 260 PSI and restoring operation once pressure drops to the open setpoint of 160 PSI. Always verify compatibility with your specific Carrier model before installation.
