The output pulse shifts in below order.
Opening a valve: 8 → 7 → 6 → 5 → 4 → 3 → 2 → 1 → 8
Closing a valve: 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → 6 → 7 → 8 → 1
· When linear expansion valve operation stops, all output phases
become OFF.
· When the power is turned on, 700 pulse closing valve signal will
be sent till it goes to
A
point in order to define the valve position.
(The pulse signal is being sent for about 20 seconds.)
When the valve moves smoothly, there is no sound or vibration
occurring from the linear expansion valve: however, when the
pulse number moves from
B
to
A
or when the valve is locked,
more sound can be heard.
No sound is heard when the pulse number moves from
B
to
A
in
case coil is burnt out or motor is locked by open-phase.
· Sound can be detected by placing the ear against the screw driv-
er handle while putting the screw driver to the linear expansion
valve.

Linear expansion valve
(1) Operation summary of the linear expansion valve
• Linear expansion valve opens/closes through stepping motor after receiving the pulse signal from the outdoor controller cir-
cuit board.
• Valve position can be changed in proportion to the number of pulse signal.
