• Pulse signal output value and valve operation
• Output pulse sequence
- In valve close state: 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → 6 → 7 → 8 → 1
- In valve open state: 8 → 7 → 6 → 5 → 4 → 3 → 2 → 1 → 8
1. If EEV open angle does not change, all of output phase will be OFF
2. If output phase is different or continuously in the ON state, motor will not operate smoothly and start vibrat-

If valve operates smoothly, no noise and vibration
occurs and if valve is closed. noise occurs.
- Noise from EEV can be confirmed by touching the
EEV surface with a screw driver and listening the
EEV noise.
- If liquid refrigerant is in EEV, the noise is lower.
