COMPRESSOR CHECKER
Functional testing of inverter DC compressors

Preparation for testing:

• Disconnect the cables of the compressor from the outdoor unit PCB.

• Use an ohmmeter (with a range of megaohms) for checking possibility of short circuit or leakage
between the connector contacts and the motor frame. All values must be outside of top of the
range of the ohmmeter. Otherwise, the motor is defective. Do not continue with testing, the
checker could be damaged.

• Check the resistance between the compressor leads with ohmmeter. The value of resistance of
the motor winding can be, depending on the compressor, in the order of tenths to whole Ohms. It
is essential that the resistance of all winding showed the same value. If any value is significantly
different, the engine is defective. Do not continue with testing, the checker could be damaged.

• Connect the power cord lead to the 230VDC power supply of the tester (fused at least with 16A
circuit breaker). The switch ‘’POWER’’ must be in position ‘’O’’, switch ‘’TEST’’ in position ‘’STOP’’
and the desired speed of compressor must be set by switch in position ‘’LOW’’

• Connect the cable of the checker to the three connectors of compressor windings and ground
clamp to the frame or chassis of the outdoor unit.

Test of the compressor

1. Turn on the tester by switch ‘’POWER’’
2. After pressing the TEST switcher, the compressor will start and its speed is gradually increasing
from zero to 50% of the maximal speed. LED during the test alternate between red and green.
3. Please do check the running compressors check by hearing in case that shows any unusual
noises.
4. After the test of the compressor, the final result is indicated by LED ‘’Status’’
Continuous green light … compressor is OK

Red flashing … compressor is faulty (detailed errors identification - see Table)

Green flashing … checker error (detailed errors identification - see Table)

In case of a positive test result from position ''LOW'‘, the test can be repeated again with a speed
switch in position '‘HIGH'‘. This mode will increase speed gradually up to the maximum of 100%.

Before each repetition of the test is necessary wait at least three minutes until
CAUTION
the pressures in the refrigerant circuit gets balanced again!

Controller of manual speed adjustment

Power lead

Test process:
- Turn off the power of the unit and wait a few minutes for the power supply capacitors to discharge.
- Disconnect the DC motor connector from the control PCB of the unit.
- Turn the rotor of the fan by hand. If you can feel a significant resistance, the motor is faulty. In that
case, do not continue with testing, the checker could be damaged.
- Use an ohmmeter (with a range of megaohms) for checking possibility of short circuit or leakage
between some of the motor leads (red, black, white) and the motor frame. All values must be
outside of top of the range of the ohmmeter. Otherwise, the motor is defective. Do not continue
with testing, the checker could be damaged.
- Use an ohmmeter to check the resistance between each motor power connections (red, black,
white) - must not show measurable resistance. Otherwise, the motor is defective. Do not
continue with testing, the checker could be damaged.
- Connect the motor to the checker. During the connecting, the checker must be switched off by
main switch and the function switcher in position 0!

CAUTION
Plug the motor connector to the mating connector in connector box. Attention! Connectors of
certain motor types have colour coding in reverse order. Make sure that the colour of cable
wire matches the colour coding of engine connector; otherwise the engine and the checker can
be damage.
AUTO test: Turn on the main switch and then the function switcher to TEST mode. The motor spins
continuously and then reduces speed to zero. During the test, the LED flashes in red and green
alternately. Keep checking if the motor does not have any vibration, or unusual noises. If the LED after
the test is lit in solid green, the engine is electrically fine. If the LED is lit in solid red or flashing red, the
engine is faulty. If the automatic test is successful, the engine can be tested in a manual mode.
MANUAL test: Change the function switcher to MAN. In this mode, you can increase or decrease the
speed by control manual settings. Test the motor gradually throughout of his speed range. If the
engine does not respond correctly, or LED lights up red, the engine is defective.
DC MOTOR CHECKER
WARNING
- During the test, the motor must be properly fixed to avoid any personal injury or material damage.
- And also do not touch the connectors! There is high voltage and a danger of electric shock.
- Tester may use only competent person which is able to work with electrical equipment.

CAUTION
The engine must be loaded during the test, if possible with the original fan rotor (propeller). Unloaded

COMUNICATION TESTER
Tester of correct unit wiring and their communication

USED FOR TESTING:

- Connection of the power supply

- The correct cable connection.
- Communication between indoor and
outdoor unit in the individual directions.
- The functionality of external outputs of
modules UTI-INV-xxx and UTI-EXP.

1. Test of connection and communication:

a. Connect the crocodile clip from tester to the ground terminal or ground of the IU or OU.
b. Attach the probe tip to the testing terminal.
c. Watch glow of green and red LED:

N zero terminal (white wire from the terminal to the electronics of unit):
- LED is not lit
L phase (black wire):
- Green and red LED lights continuously
C communication terminal (red wire):
- Flashing red LED: direction from inside to outside
- Flashing green LED: direction from outside to inside

2. Test of external outputs UTI-INV-xxx (ON ERR DEF) and UTI-EXP:

According to the current output either of the LED is off, or both LED lights continuously. Another way
of indication means the malfunction.
LOGGER
Recording device for communication data

The LOGGER scans the data from communication line and saves them on the SD memory card for
future analysis, the possibilities of use are following:

- between indoor and outdoor unit with the connected Simulator checker (monitoring mode)
- between Compressor checker and connected compressor for testing
- between Simulator checker and connected indoor or outdoor unit (indoor or outdoor mode)
- from connected UTI-INV-xx module

ATTENTION:
• Whenever you connect the logger, either during testing or monitoring, then on the SD card is
created a file matching a given date (see picture below L130723 = July 23, 2013).
• And also it should be remembered that if the logger is used a several times in one day, all the data
are always saved together into a same file!! (but displayable in the checker viewer in separated
time subfolders)

TIME SETTING
a) if it is necessary in the logger set the current time, then you need to upload on SD card a time.txt
file (could be created in windows notepad), which contains desired time and date configuration
(see figure below 240613183900 = 24.6.2013,18:39:00)

b) the next time when you are connecting the logger for testing, the time will be set automatically to
required settings
c) but it should be remembered that the LOGGER itself holds power only for two days (charging
takes in about 10 minutes after the connection) and therefore it is necessary to set the time again
as you need it
