To perform an electrical check of the expansion valve
REYQ8~20+REMQ5U7Y1B
VRV IV+ Heat Recovery
ESIE18-15B – 2020.05
Does the expansion valve open?
Yes
No
1 First perform a mechanical check of the expansion valve, see
4
procedures" [
244].
2 Disconnect the electrical connector of the expansion valve coil from the
appropriate PCB and measure the resistance of all windings (between the pins
of each phase (wire) and the common wire) using a multi meter. All
measurements MUST be approximately the same.

INFORMATION
Below is an example of the resistance measurements in which the common wire is
connected to pin 6 of the expansion valve motor connector. Connections may differ
according to the type of expansion valve.
▪ Connector pin 1‑6,
▪ Connector pin 2‑6,
▪ Connector pin 3‑6,
▪ Connector pin 4‑6.
