11-4-8. Fuse Check for continuity by observation or with a tester. 11-4-9. Compressor Check for bad connections, short circuit or insulation failure of the compressor windings. 11-4-10. HIC It should be checked in the following sequence: Procedure (1) Disconnect +, –, U, V and W terminals. (2) Using an analog tester (set to ´100 range), measure the resistance between terminals in the following table.
Page 47
11-4-13. Electronic Expansion Valve Check if clicking sound of the electronic expansion valve continues for about 17 seconds after the air condi- tioner is switched on. When replacing parts in refrigerant circuit and when welding is carried out, do CAUTION so after performing nitrogen conversion.
11-5. Problems with Noise and Radio Interference Since an inverter-type air conditioner works at high frequency under pulse control, it can be affected by external noise and may also generate interference to nearby radio equipment. For this reason, this air conditioner is fitted with an electrical noise filter, so no trouble should arise in normal use.
12. CHECKING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS Ground wire 12-1. Measurement of Insulation Resistance Clip The insulation is in good condition if the resistance exceeds 2M½. 12-1-1. Power Supply Wires Probe Clamp the grounding terminal of the power plug with Insulation tester the lead clip of the insulation resistance tester and Fig.
12-2. Checking Continuity of Fuse Fuse on PCB Ass’y Check for continuity using a multimeter as shown in Fig. 6. NOTE PCB Ass’y Method Used to Replace Fuse on PCB Ass'y (when fuse shape looks like the fuse in either Fig. 5a or 5b) Fig.
