6.3 Superheat Operation Check
CHECK 3
Identify the defective points referring to the failure factor analysis (FTA) as follows.
1. “Superheating temperature control” in cooling mode is conducted by indoor unit electronic
expansion valve.
2. Judgment criteria of superheat operation:
(1) Suction gas superheating temperature: 10 degrees and over.
(2) Discharge gas superheating temperature: 45 degrees and over, except for immediately after
starting and dropping control, etc.
(Use the above stated values as a guide. Depending on the other conditions, the unit may be
normal despite the values within the above scope.)

Check if coil resistance and insulation
are normal.
Check if coil resistance and
insulation are normal.
Check if the voltage property is
normal.
Check if the connector is connected properly.
Check if the thermistor resistance property is
normal.
Check if the pressure value given by the
service checker corresponding to actual
measurement value by the sensor.
Check if coil resistance and insulation are
normal.
Does the piping length fall in the permissible range?
Conduct visual checks.
Remove the moisture by vacuum break. (Refer to
CHECK 8
)
Check if the stop valve is open.
If the indoor unit
electronic
expansion valve is
excessively
throttled. (
