The output pulse shifts in above order.
❈
1. When linear expansion valve operation stops, all output phase
become OFF.
❈
When the switch 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 noise 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 noise can be heard than normal situation.
No noise is heard when the pulse number moves from
B
to
A
in
case coil is burn out or motor is locked by open-phase.
❈
Noise can be detected by placing the ear against the screw dri-
ver 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 open/close through stepping motor after receiving the pulse signal from the outdoor controller board.
• Valve position can be changed in proportion to the number of pulse signal.
