1) BC controller: Phenomena when LEV is connected wrongly (reverse connection of LEV1 and LEV3) to the board.
2) Check method of fully open state or fully closed state of LEV
Check LEV opening (pulse) on the self-diagnosis LED (Outdoor control board SW1).
Full open: 2000 pulses
Fully closed: 110 pulses (In the case of heating-only mode, however, the pulse may become 110 or more.)
When LEV is fully open, measure the temperature at the upstream and downstream pipes of LEV, and make sure that there
is no temperature difference.
When LEV is fully closed, check that there is no refrigerant flowing sound.
3) Refer to the chart below to judge LEV opening controlled by the values of the differential pressure and of the superheat.
