Control Panel and Control Unit
The control panel and control unit are formed into one piece. The operation of its built-in microcom-
puter compares, operates on, and processes the sensor input signals and control panel switch input
signals, switches the output side actuators (refresh / recirculate switching, air mix) and comprehen-
sively controls the fan motor and compressor.
It is equipped with self-diagnosis functions to make trouble diagnosis easier. (For details see the con-
trol specifications.)

Blower Amp
The blower amp receives the control signals from the control unit and changes the speed of the blower
motor.

terminals.

Relay
4-pole relays are used for the blower OFF relay and compres-
sor relay.
Blower OFF relay
This relay receives the signal from the control amp and
switches the blower OFF relay ON.
When the blower OFF relay is switched ON, the power supply
voltage is fed to the blower motor via the blower amp and the
blower motor is started.

Compressor relay
The compressor relay is switched ON/OFF by the control amp
compressor control;

[2] Coil resistor: 320 Ω

[4] Be careful. The coil side of this relay must be installed with the poles facing correctly.
[5] Inspection: Inspect the conductance between 3 and 4 under the conditions below.

No voltage applied between Terminals 1 and 2 : No conductance

Air Mix Actuator

The air mix actuator is installed at the center of the air condi-
tioner unit. It opens and closes the air mix damper via the link.
Built into the air mix actuator is the potentio-meter which var-
ies linked with the actuator shaft.

When the target air mix door position is determined by the temperature control switch, the control unit
reads in the potentio-meter position in the actuator and determines whether the motor turns forward or
reverse.The contacts move linked with the motor. When the contacts move open or the target potentio-
meter position is reached, the control unit output signal goes OFF and the motor stops.
(See "Air Mix Motor Actuator Inspection".)

Refresh / Recirculate Actuator

The refresh / recirculate switch actuator is installed on the
blower intake unit. It opens and closes the refresh / recircu-
late damper via the link.
Built into the refresh / recirculate switch actuator is the posi-
tion detection switch that changes linked with the actuator
shaft.

When the refresh / recirculate damper position is determined by the refresh / recirculate switch on the
control panel, the control unit reads in the signal of the position detection switch in the actuator and
determines whether the motor turns forward or reverse.The contact moves linked with the motor and
when the contact reaches the position detection switch and separates, the motor stops.
(See "Refresh / Recirculate Motor Actuator Inspection".)

Blow Mode Actuator
The blow mode actuator is installed on the back surface of the
air conditioner unit. It opens and closes the blow damper via
the link.
Built into the blow mode actuator is the potentio-meter which
varies linked with the actuator shaft.

When the blow mode position is determined by the temperature control switch, the control unit reads in
the potentio-meter position in the actuator and determines whether the motor turns forward or
reverse.The contacts move linked with the motor. When the contacts move open or the target potentio-
meter position is reached, the control unit output signal goes OFF and the motor stops.
(See "Mode Motor Actuator Inspection".)

Evaporator Sensor
In order to prevent the evaporator freezing, the evaporator blow temperature is detected and the com-
pressor ON/OFF controlled.
• Evaporator sensor inspection method
(specifications value)
Disconnect the evaporator connector from the main har-
ness and measure the resistance between the sensor side
connector terminals using the tester.
When the sensor section detection
Resistance : 7.2 kΩ
temperature is 0 ℃
between
terminals When the sensor section detection
: 2.2 kΩ
temperature is 25 ℃

Dual Pressure Switch

The dual pressure switch is installed on the receiver dryer.
When there is pressure trouble in the coolant high-pressure
side line (abnormally high pressure or abnormally low pres-
sure), the dual pressure switch contacts open up to cut off the
compressor power and protect the cooling cycle.
• Simple inspection method for dual pressure switch
[1] With the cooling cycle stopped, disconnect the connec-
tor from the switch and check the conductance between
the switch side connector terminals using the tester.If
there is conductance, the switch is normal.(When the
outside air temperature is 0 ℃ or higher)
[2] Connect the gauge manifold high-pressure side hose to
the high-pressure side charge port. With the cooling
cycle operating, the condenser front surface is covered
with the plate top and the high-pressure rises.If the
compressor stops around 3.14 MPa, the switch is nor-
mal.
[3] With the coolant removed, check the conductance
between the switch side connector terminals using the
tester.If there is no conductance, the switch is normal.

Solar Radiation Sensor
This is the air conditioner solar radiation correct sensor. It detects the strength of sunlight with a photo-
diode, converts it into current and sends that to the control panel.
• Solar radiation sensor inspection method
Disconnect the solar radiation sensor connector from the
harness and measure the resistance between the sensor
side connector terminals using the tester's voltage mea-
surement mode.
The voltage must be different when light is striking the pho-
toreceiver section and when it is not.(The voltage is 0 V
when absolutely no light is striking the photoreceiver.)

Caution
Always measure with the tester in voltage measurement mode (V mode).
Measuring with the tester in resistance mode (Ωmode) would destroy the sensor.
