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, calculates, and processes each sensor input signal and each switch input signal from
the control panel, and comprehensively controls each actuator on the output side (refresh/recirculate
switching, air mixing) and the fan motor and compressor.
Also, it is equipped with self-diagnosis functions to make trouble diagnosis easier. (For details see the
control specifications.)

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

Relay 4-pole relays are used for the blower OFF relay and com-
pressor 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 sup-
ply 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.

Air Mix Actuator The air mix actuator is installed at the center of the air con-
ditioner unit. It opens and closes the air mix damper via the
link.
Built into the air mix actuator is the potentio-meter which
varies 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
: 7.2 KΩ
Resistance between detection temperature is 0 ℃
terminals When the sensor section
: 2.2 KΩ
detection 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 pressure), the dual pressure switch con-
tacts open up to cut off the compressor power and pro-
tect the cooling cycle.
• Simple inspection method for dual pressure switch
[1] With the cooling cycle stopped, disconnect the con-
nector from the switch and check the conductance
between the switch side connector terminals using
the tester. If there is conductance, the switch is nor-
mal. (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 cool-
ing 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 normal.
[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 milli-amp and sends that to the controller.
• 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 volt-
age measurement mode.
The voltage must be different when light is striking the
photoreceiver section and when it is not. (The voltage is
0 V when absolutely no light is striking the photore-
ceiver.)
Caution
Always measure with the tester in voltage measure-
ment mode (V mode).
Measuring with the tester in resistance mode (Ω
mode) would destroy the sensor.
