CCEI MPCP0314 NTC Temperature Sensor: The Official Replacement Part for Your DHG-2 Frost Protection Box

The CCEI temperature sensor, reference MPCP0314, is the original replacement part designed for the DHG-2 frost protection box. It is an NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) sensor, a type of semiconductor sensor whose resistance decreases as temperature increases. This technology offers a fast response time and high precision in low temperature ranges, exactly what an antifreeze device needs to react instantly to winter temperature drops.

Installed in the pool water, outside the technical room, or directly on the plumbing, this sensor continuously transmits the temperature measurement to the DHG-2 box. As soon as the programmed trigger threshold is reached, the box automatically activates the filtration pump in forced operation, preventing ice formation in the pipes and protecting your pool equipment from frost damage.

Why and when to replace the sensor of your DHG-2 box?

Over time and successive freeze/thaw cycles, the NTC sensor can lose precision, provide inconsistent measurements, or stop working entirely. The E2 error code displayed on the digital screen of the DHG-2 box specifically indicates a temperature sensor fault. If you see this code or if your box no longer triggers filtration correctly despite low temperatures, replacing the sensor is the first action to take.

To check if your sensor is actually defective, CCEI recommends unplugging it and then plugging it back in. If the E2 error persists after this manipulation, the sensor must be replaced. The official reference to order is MPCP0314.

Simple and quick installation, without system modification

Replacing the sensor does not require any professional intervention. Simply disconnect the old sensor from the DHG-2 box's terminal block and plug in the new one in its place. The supplied 2-meter cable is suitable for most technical room configurations. If the distance between the box and the measurement point is greater, the cable can be extended using appropriate connectors (Wago type or terminal block), up to a maximum of 50 meters as recommended by CCEI.

The sensor can be positioned in three configurations: immersed in the pool water to measure water temperature, installed outside the technical room to measure ambient air temperature, or attached to the plumbing of the filtration circuit. In all cases, it is essential to avoid artificial heat sources (direct sun exposure, proximity to a radiator) that would distort the measurement.

Technical specifications of the MPCP0314 NTC sensor

This sensor is an NTC thermistor, meaning a passive sensor whose electrical resistance varies with temperature. Unlike linear Pt100 sensors, the NTC offers significantly higher sensitivity at low temperatures, making it particularly suitable for detecting frost risk. The 2-meter connecting cable connects directly to the DHG-2 box's terminal block. The sensor is designed to withstand winter outdoor conditions: humidity, negative temperatures, and prolonged exposure.

Compatibility: exclusively for CCEI DHG-2 frost protection box

The MPCP0314 sensor is specifically designed for the CCEI DHG-2 box, the electronic thermostat model with digital display. It is not compatible with the DHG-A box (mechanical thermostat model) or with other frost protection boxes from other brands. If you own a DHG-A, consult the CCEI documentation to identify the appropriate sensor for your model.

The DHG-2 box: reminder of operation

The CCEI DHG-2 frost protection box is an active winterizing device that controls the filtration pump based on the outdoor or water temperature. Its electronic thermostat allows the trigger threshold to be set between -5 °C and +5 °C. When the sensor detects a temperature below the programmed threshold, the box forces the filtration to start. Water circulation in the pipes prevents ice formation and allows warmer water from the bottom of the pool to be recovered via the main drain, thereby warming the surface water.

Beyond its winter function, the DHG-2 can also be used in summer to trigger filtration above a certain temperature, thus limiting the development of microorganisms and algae in the pool.

Why choose an original CCEI part?

Using the official CCEI replacement sensor guarantees perfect compatibility with the DHG-2 box's electronics, measurement values calibrated for the box's thermostat, and durability suitable for use in a pool environment. A generic NTC sensor could have a different resistance curve, leading to measurement discrepancies and imprecise triggering of frost protection — a risk best avoided for the protection of your equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions – CCEI MPCP0314 Temperature Sensor for DHG-2

What is the purpose of the MPCP0314 temperature sensor for the DHG-2 unit? +

The MPCP0314 NTC sensor continuously measures water or air temperature and transmits this information to the CCEI DHG-2 frost protection unit. When the temperature drops below the programmed threshold, the unit automatically activates the filtration pump to prevent ice formation in the pipes and protect your equipment.

Is this sensor compatible with the CCEI DHG-A unit? +

No. The MPCP0314 sensor is exclusively designed for the DHG-2 unit, which operates with an electronic thermostat and a digital display. The DHG-A unit uses a mechanical thermostat and requires a different sensor. Consult the CCEI documentation to identify the correct reference for the DHG-A.

How do I know if the sensor in my DHG-2 unit is faulty? +

The main symptom is the display of error code E2 on the DHG-2 unit's digital screen, which indicates a temperature measurement fault. Other signs include the unit no longer triggering filtration despite low temperatures, or inconsistent temperature readings on the screen. CCEI recommends disconnecting and then reconnecting the sensor: if the E2 error persists, the sensor must be replaced.

Does replacing the sensor require an electrician? +

No, replacement is simple and does not require professional intervention. Simply cut the power to the unit, disconnect the old sensor from the terminal block, and then connect the new MPCP0314 sensor in its place. No wiring or unit modification is necessary.

Can the sensor cable be extended if 2 meters is not enough? +

Yes, the 2-meter cable can be extended using suitable connectors (Wago type or terminal block). CCEI recommends a maximum distance of 50 meters between the unit and the sensor. Beyond this, measurement accuracy could be affected.

Where should the temperature sensor be positioned? +

The sensor can be installed in three configurations: immersed in the pool water, fixed outside the technical room to measure air temperature, or positioned on the filtration circuit plumbing. The key is to avoid artificial heat sources (direct sunlight, radiator, exposed wall) that would distort the measurement and prevent reliable anti-freeze protection activation.

What is an NTC sensor and why is it suitable for frost protection? +

NTC stands for Negative Temperature Coefficient. It is a type of sensor whose electrical resistance decreases as temperature increases. NTC sensors offer a fast response time and high sensitivity at low temperatures, making them ideal for precisely detecting the risk of frost and activating protection at the right moment.

Can a generic NTC sensor be used instead of the MPCP0314? +

It is strongly discouraged. Each NTC sensor has a specific resistance curve, and the DHG-2 unit's electronic thermostat is calibrated for the CCEI MPCP0314 sensor. A generic sensor with a different curve could lead to significant measurement errors and imprecise activation of frost protection, endangering your equipment.

Can the DHG-2 unit operate without a temperature sensor? +

No. Without a connected sensor, the DHG-2 unit displays error code E2 and cannot perform its automatic frost protection function. The sensor is the essential element that allows the unit to measure temperature and decide when to activate filtration. If the sensor is faulty, it must be replaced quickly, especially during winter.

Is the MPCP0314 sensor covered by a warranty? +

The sensor benefits from the 2-year legal conformity guarantee applicable to all purchases on Pool Planet. In the event of a defect found within this period, you can contact customer service to obtain an exchange or a refund.
