A/CCM Pin 11 ref Pin 6
The defrost solenoid controls the operation ofthe screen vents. When the solenoid
is energised, the screen vents will be held closed by the vacuum created. To open
the vents the solenoid is de-energised.
The solenoid is energised when a ground supply is provided to pin 11. The
solenoid is de-energised when the ground supply is removed, at which point 10+
volts can be read at pin 11.
A/CCM Pin 28 ref Pin 6
This sets the differential between the position ofthe upper and lower flaps. With
minimum differential selected, pin 28 should read between 0 and 100 millivolts.
The voltage at pin 28 will rise smoothly as the differential is increased, up to a
maximum of 2.885 volts.
A/CCM Pin 5 ref Pin 6
This sensor monitors the temperature of the evaporator matrix, the output is used
to trigger the compressor circuit via the A/CCM pin 20. Operating conditions are
2.732 volts at 0 degrees Celsius ±0.01 volts for every degree Celsius above or
below zero.
A/CCM Pin 27 ref Pin 6
This signal is normal ly held at 3.6 ±0.8 volts by the control module. When Defrost
is selected from the control panel, the line is pulled down to 0.6 volts or below.
This will cause the defrost flaps to open by applying system voltage (approx 11
volts) to pin
11.
In addition, both fans will go to full speed i.e. high speed fan relay
energised .
A/CCM Pin 15 ref Pin 6
This signal is generated from the fan speed control switch.
Switch at High, pin
1
5 should read 0.6 volts.
Switch at Off, L, M or D positions, pin 15 should read 3.6 ±0.8 volts.
A/CCM Pin 13 ref Pin 6
This signal is generated from the fanspeed control switch.
Switch at Low, pin 13 should read 0.6 volts.
Switch at Off, M, H or D positions, pin 13 should read 3.6 ±0.8 volts.
