The output pulse shifts in above order.

1. When linear expansion valve operation stops, all output phase become OFF.

2.At phase interruption or when phase does not shift in order, motor does not rotate smoothly and motor will locks and vibrates.

When the switch is turned on, 2200 pulse closing valve signal will be send till it goes to A point in order to define the valve position.

When the valve move smoothly, there is no noise or vibration occurring from the linear expansion valve : however, when the pulse number moves from E to A or when the valve is locked, more noise can be heard than normal situation.

Noise can be detected by placing the ear against the screw dri- ver handle while putting the screw driver to the linear expansion valve.
