Hong Yeng temperature sensor batteries?

[Doug-T]

I just received my Hong Yeng compressor and got it assembled tonight. There's one problem, it didn't come with any batteries for the temperature sensor. I looked through the box and all the misc. bags and nothing, no mention of batteries in the Chinglish manual. I spent 1/2 hour online looking but no answer. 

Does anyone know what size of batteries the temperature sensor takes?

Thanks.

They beat me to it.. Yup, 2 x LR44 batteries.

And, just in case anyone is interested, these temp sensors take the same ones..
It's the one that I use on my YH comp - Only these are the Fahrenheit version:

I picked up the batteries (357 are the same as LR44) and got it running tonight. It keeps tripping my 20A breaker about every minute.

Doug,

Give this procedure a shot, and let me/us know how you make out:

*Loosen / Open both the side screws w/ the red knobs while the comp is Off
*Turn the comp On, Then Tighten / Close both screws to start building pressure slowly / gradually
[Doing this will let the compressor motor soft-start with no initial load on it – also great for people who's comps like to pop breakers]
*Whether or not your comp shuts off automatically or you shut it off manually – Loosen / Open those side screws again – At least the one on the right.. 
When manually shutting off – Open those screws or the right screw First – Then shut off the comp.. 
When using auto-shut off – As soon as the comp shuts off – Open the screws [or right screw] to quickly bleed off the remaining high pressure..

**I usually crack the right screw open a few times randomly anyways – Just to help prevent excess moisture build up in the lines / system

The problem was I forgot I had the LEAF car charger plugged into the same circuit. That draws 12A. Doh!

I'm surprised it ran both at all.

Ahh brain fart.. lol 

Well good deal man, glad to hear that it was a simple fix!
