•
To drive the expansion valve, use the B-12 V output. Use a 4-phase coil and feed power to the
phases 1 and 2, then switch over the filed poles to control the opening of the valve.
•
The reference between conducting phase switch over direction and the open/close direction are
shown in Table 9-1. When the power is turned on, approx. 0.9 V is applied to the CN15 and the pins
( 1 to 4 ) and when no power is supplied, 12 V is applied. When the power is reset, the expansion
valve starts initial operation for 5 to 10 seconds.
•
During the initial operation, measure each pin of the CN15 ( 1 to 4 ) with a multimeter. If no change
is found around 0.9 V or 12V in this step, the expansion valve or the micro computer has failure.
•
The logic waveform during the operating of the expansion valve is shown in Fig. 9-2.
