Patent ID: 8151621

Claim:
A finger touch testing device electrically connectible to a sensing probe used to monitor the fluid level of the primary drain pan inside a condensate-producing unit, said testing device comprising: a mount having an inverted U-shaped configuration with a front portion, a rear portion, and a slot vertically extending between said front portion and said a rear portion; two lateral indentations in said front portion of said inverted U-shaped mount, said lateral indentations in positions substantially opposed to one another; two electrically-conductive rods each fixed to said inverted U-shaped mount, with a portion of each said electrically-conductive rod extending into a different one of said lateral indentations; and electrically-conductive wiring fixed to said inverted U-shaped mount and having electrical communication with said two electrically-conductive rods so that when said electrically-conductive wiring is connected to a sensing probe installed inside a condensate-producing unit to monitor the fluid level in its primary drain pan, and further when a person places two different fingers against said inverted U-shaped mount so that a portion of each finger enters a different one of said lateral indentations and touches one of said electrically-conductive rods extending into it, proper operation of the fluid level sensor connected to said finger touch testing device will become immediately evident to that person by the occurrence of shut-off or activation action otherwise expected as a result of proper sensing probe function.
