*1. When the LEV opening angle does not change,
all the output phases will be off.
*2. When the output is open phase or remains ON,
the motor cannot run smoothly, and rattles and vibrates.

*When the power is turned on, the valve closing signal of 520 pulses
will be output from the indoor board to LEV to fix the valve position.
It must be fixed at point A.
(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, noise is generated.
*Whether a sound is generated or not can be determined by
holding a screwdriver against it, then placing your ear against the handle.
*If liquid refrigerant flows inside the LEV, the sound may become smaller.
