General operation of cooling

 Operation Condition

Before checking the power to the reversing valve, remove the CN2 connector, measure the resistance at both ends of

the connector to see if it is 1970 ±138

Ω

. Perform the following power checks only if the result of this check is normal. 

If this check produces an abnormal result, either a lead wire is broken or there is a failure in the reversing valve.

 Voltage at each point is approximately as shown below table when measure by tester.

(When voltage between pin 1 to pin 4 of CN2 is measured).

3.  Reversing Valve Control Circuit

The reversing valve is controlled by operation commands from the indoor microcomputer. Current is applied to the

reversing valve coil in the direction designated for each operation mode to slide the valve.
