How it works
How It Protects
Smart Sensing
APAds watches pressure and voltage. If it finds a harmful high or low pressure, or bad voltage, it shuts the compressor down to stop rapid cycling, and is easily reactivated once the problem is fixed. It even detects A/C problems while the A/C is off.

Why APAds
Fix Small Problems Before Big Ones
Prevents Damage
No rapid cycling and no clutch slip from bad voltage.
Better at Idle
Coordinates the cooling fan to stop fan cycling at idle.
Easy Diagnosis
Read the blink codes on the dash or under the bonnet.
Fits the Fan Drive
Versions for on/off and viscous fan drives, incl. Volvo/Mack.
