2. Slide disconnector in axial direction of piping, and stretch garter spring with tapered point of disconnector.
3. Slide disconnector farther so that inside diameter of garter spring becomes larger than outside diameter of
female-side piping flare. Then male-side piping can be disconnected.
INSTALLATION
1. Clean piping connection points, and insert male-side piping into female-side piping.
2. Push inserted male-side piping harder so that female-side piping flare stretches garter spring.
3. If inside diameter of garter spring becomes larger than outside diameter of female-side piping flare, garter
spring seats on flare. Then, it fits in between male-side piping cage and female-side piping flare to anchor
piping connection point.
NOTE:
When garter spring seats on flare, and fits in between male-side piping cage and female-side piping flare,
it clicks.
CAUTION:
Female-side piping connection is thin and easy to deform. Slowly insert the male-side piping
straight in axial direction.
Insert piping securely until a click is heard.
After piping connection is completed, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure that connec-
tion does not come loose.
NOTE:
One-touch joint connection is used in points below.
Low-pressure flexible hose to low-pressure pipe 1 (O-ring size: 16)
High-pressure flexible hose to condenser (O-ring size: 12)
High-pressure pipe 1 to high-pressure pipe 2 (O-ring size: 8)

Operation
1. Control Valve
–By changing high-pressure valve lift amount, built-in electronic control valve executes the following:
• Controls high-pressure valve discharge amount.
• Changes crankcase pressure in compressor.
• Changes angle of swash plate.
–Amount of high-pressure valve lift is determined by factors below.
• Low-pressure applied to diaphragm
• Spring load of set spring
• Balance of magnetic force generated in magnet coil
–Electronic control valve (ECV) magnet coil receives electric signal (duty control) from unified meter and A/
C amp. Then, magnetic force generated by electric current is changed to control high-pressure valve lift
amount.
2. Maximum Cooling
High-pressure valve is closed by magnetic force generated by electric signal sent from unified meter and
A/C amp. At this time, cylinder moves full stroke due to pressure balance between inside crankcase (Pc)
and suction line (Ps).
Under this condition, the swash plate is set to the maximum stroke position.
3. Capacity Control
When no electric signal is sent from unified meter and A/C amp. (current: OFF), high-pressure valve is
opened by spring force.
Since suction pressure is low, it makes the suction port close and the discharge port open. Thus, crank-
case pressure becomes high as high-pressure enters the crankcase.
–The force acts around the link near the swash plate, and is generated by the pressure difference before
and behind the piston.
–The thrust flange and link are located where the piston generates the highest pressure. Piston pressure is
between suction pressure Ps and discharge pressure Pd, which is close to suction pressure Ps. If crank-
case pressure Pc rises due to capacity control, the force around the link makes the swash plate angle
decrease and also the piston stroke decrease. In other words, crankcase pressure increase triggers pres-

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL

OPERATION
The unified meter and A/C amp. receives data from each of the sensors. The unified meter and A/C amp.
sends mode door, air mix door, upper ventilator door and intake door opening angle data to the mode door
motor LCU, air mix door motor LCU, upper ventilator door motor LCU and intake door motor LCU.
The mode door motor, air mix door motors, upper ventilator door motor and intake door motor read their
respective signals according to the address signal. Opening angle indication signals received from the unified
meter and A/C amp. and each of the motor position sensors is compared by the LCUs in each door motor with
the existing decision and opening angles. Subsequently, HOT/COLD, DEF/VENT, OPEN/SHUT and FRE/REC
operation is selected. The new selection data is returned to the unified meter and A/C amp.
TRANSMISSION DATA AND TRANSMISSION ORDER
Unified meter and A/C amp. data is transmitted consecutively to each of the door motors following the form
shown in figure below.
Start:
Initial compulsory signal is sent to each of the door motors.
Address:
Data sent from the unified meter and A/C amp. are selected according to data-based decisions made by the
mode door motor, air mix door motor, upper ventilator door motor and intake door motor.
If the addresses are identical, the opening angle data and error check signals are received by the door motor
LCUs. The LCUs then make the appropriate error decision. If the opening angle data have no error, door con-
trol begins.
If an error exists, the received data are rejected and corrected data received. Finally, door control is based
upon the corrected opening angle data.
Opening angle:
Data that shows the indicated door opening angle of each door motor.
Error Check:
In this procedure, transmitted and received data is checked for errors. Error data are then compiled. The error
check prevents corrupted data from being used by the mode door motor, the air mix door motor, the upper
ventilator door motor and the intake door motor. Error data can be related to the following symptoms.
Malfunction of electrical frequency
Poor electrical connections
Signal leakage from transmission lines
Signal level fluctuation
