tions to help you find and repair problems.

as its heating and cooling capacities. Look in this section to find the correct values for
components and functions.
Section 2: Processes and Functions, explains each different part of the cooling and heating
cycle, and how each control function reacts to changing conditions to keep the room at the set
temperature range.
Section 3: Electrical Data, which has fold-out schematic and wiring diagrams so you can find
the parts you need to check when something is wrong, and see how they should be connected.
Section 4: Service Procedures, has two main parts, a diagnostic chapter to help you find the
specific component to replace or adjust, and a chapter with specific procedures and values to
guide you in checking the electrical components in the unit.
