❇
1. When the LEV percentage opening does not change,
all the output phases are off.
2. When the output is out of phase or remains ON
continuously, the motor cannot run smoothly, but move
jerkily and vibrates.
❇
When the power is switched ON, a 520 pulse valve
opening signal is output to make sure the valve’s
position, so that it is definitely at point A. (The pulse
signal is output for approximately 17 seconds.)
❇
When the valve operates smoothly, there is no sound
from the LEV and no vibration occurs, but when the
valve is locked, it emits a noise.
❇
Whether a sound is being emitted or not can be
determined by holding a screwdriver, etc. against it,
then placing your ear against the handle.
❇
If there is liquid refrigerant inside the LEV, the sound
may become lower.
