Daikin Cooling-Only Outdoor Unit RKS50F2V1B

Warning: This procedure requires trained personnel with PPE!

EV connector correctly connected to the PCB

Did the EV generate latching sound after power cycle?

If EV does not generate latching sound, proceed to next step

Continuity confirmed using a tester after disconnecting the connector

Check the continuity between the pins

If there is no continuity between the pins, the EV coil is faulty

If the continuity is confirmed, the outdoor unit PCB is faulty

Sign off on the electronic expansion valve check

Warning: Be sure to wait for 10 minutes or more after turning off all power supplies before disassembling work.

Remove the 2 screws of the shield plate

Preparation: Remove the top panel and the front panel according to the “Removal of Outer Panels”.

Slide the shield plate upward to unfasten the 1 hook on the bottom left, and then remove the shield plate.

Disconnect the 2 power supply cables and the 1 earth wire.

Remove the 3 screws of the right side panel.

Remove the screw of the electrical box.

Unfasten the hooks and remove the right side panel.

Warning: Be sure to wait for 10 minutes or more after turning off all power supplies before disassembling work.

Remove the screw and remove the four way valve coil.

Warning: Be careful not to get yourself burnt with the pipes and other parts that are heated by the gas brazing machine.

Warning: If the refrigerant gas leaks during work, ventilate the room. (If the refrigerant gas is exposed to flames, toxic gas may be generated.)

Caution: From the viewpoint of global environment protection, do not discharge the refrigerant gas in the atmosphere. Make sure to collect all the refrigerant gas.

Cautions for restoration: 1. Restore the piping by nonoxidation brazing.

2. It is required to prevent the carbonization of the oil inside the four way valve and the deterioration of the gaskets affected by heat. (Keep below 120°C.) For the sake of this, wrap the four way valve with wet cloth and provide water so that the cloth does not dry.

Note: Do not use a metal saw for cutting pipes by all means because the sawdust comes into the circuit.

When withdrawing the pipes, be careful not to pinch them firmly with pliers. The pipes may get deformed.

Warning: Be sure to wait for 10 minutes or more after turning off all power supplies before disassembling work.

Pull out the electronic expansion valve coil.

Warning: Be careful not to get yourself burnt with the pipes and other parts that are heated by the gas brazing machine.

Warning: If the refrigerant gas leaks during work, ventilate the room. (If the refrigerant gas is exposed to flames, toxic gas may be generated.)

Caution: From the viewpoint of global environment protection, do not discharge the refrigerant gas in the atmosphere. Make sure to collect all the refrigerant gas.

Is the refrigerant gas empty in the circuit?

Did you apply nitrogen replacement when heating up the brazed part?

Heat up the 2 brazed parts of the electronic expansion valve and remove it.

With the power on, operation off, and the connector connected, check the following

Output voltage of about 5 V between pins 1 and 3

Generation of 3 pulses between pins 2 and 3 when the fan motor is operating

If NG in step 1 or 2, choose the defective part

If OK in both steps 1 and 2, replace the PCB
