The ACX-10 Air Conditioning Life Extender from Index Sensors & Controls is a monitoring system that communicates with the vehicle's A/C system. It consists of a compact control module that is easily mounted in the engine compartment. The system protects air conditioning components against premature failure by monitoring refrigerant pressure and voltage. Both high and low refrigerant pressure can lead to rapid cycling of the A/C system, causing premature wear of the compressor, clutch, and hoses.
