Solar Sensor: Description and Operation

GF83.57-P-2128RI Sun Sensor, Component Description

Component Identification:

Location
The sun sensor is located on the left air inlet in the engine hood.

Task
The sun sensor is designed as a dual sun sensor and records the intensity and angle of incidence of the solar radiation onto the vehicle. The interior temperature and blower output are adapted according to the intensity.

In the event of one-sided solar radiation, an adequate temperature difference is set between the left and the right regulated specified temperatures.
The sun sensor is read in directly via the AC bus by the AAC [KLA] control and operating unit (N22).
