LEV
-4- LEV
1. General descriptions of the operation of the LEV in the main circuit
LEV1 is driven by the pulse signal from the circuit board and is controlled by a stepping motor.
The valve opening changes according to the number of pulses
1) Control board and LEV
2) Pulse signal output and valve operation
3) LEV valve closing and opening operatio

1 ON OFF OFF ON
2 ON ON OFF OFF
3 OFF ON ON OFF
4 OFF OFF ON ON
Output pulses change in the following orders when the
Valve is closed; 1 2 3 4 1
Valve is open;
4 3 2 1 4
*1. When the LEV opening angle does not change,
all the output phases will be off.
*2. When the output is open phase or remains ON,
the motor cannot run smoothly, and rattles and vibrates.
*Upon power on, a 2260 pulse signal is sent to the LEV to determine the
valve position and bring the valve to the position indicated by " A " in the diagram
When the valve operates smoothly, no sound from LEV or no vibration
occurs, however, when the pulses change from E to A in the chart or
the valve is locked, a big sound occurs.
*Whether a sound is generated or not can be determined by
holding a screwdriver against it, then placing your ear against the handle.
*If liquid refrigerant is present in the LEV, it may make the operating sound
of the LEV difficult to detect.
