will exit the auto-mode.). The temperature set below AUTO mode is a conventional value.
(1) In AUTO mode, if the temperature inside vehicle is higher than 25C and the temperature
outside vehicle exceeds 23C, the air conditioner will turns into refrigerating status
where the conventional setting temperature is 25C, i.e. Tset=25C.
(2) In AUTO mode, if the temperature inside vehicle is within 21C-24C, the system will
operate in low-speed ventilating status.
(3) In AUTO mode, if the temperature inside vehicle is lower than 20C, the air conditioner
will turn into heating status where the conventional setting temperature is 20C, i.e.
Tset=20C.
6. Check the temperature inside vehicle
The temperature inside vehicle is displayed in default mode. When
is switched on, the
nixie tube displays the temperature inside vehicle, which will change with the variation of
refrigerating time and thermal load of carriage.
The display of the temperature inside vehicle ranges from 0.0C to 60.0C (with accuracy
down to 0.5C); Lo is displayed when the temperature inside vehicle is lower than 0.0C,

displayed when defrosting temperature is higher than 90.0C.
8. Check fault code
For some faults, we can analyze and determine their causes based on the display, receiving
and feedback commands on numerical control manipulator.
When fault indicating light goes on and the temperature inside vehicle is displayed, press

refrigeration).
Correct usage ensures the best refrigerating effect of the air conditioner
with minimum faults and high reliability.
1. Avoid exposing the air conditioned vehicle in sunshine when parking in summer.
(Figurer 3-3)
Manipulator, an electrical subassembly, may lead to the malfunction of air conditioner if water
flows into it. Please pay special attention to:
Exposure to sunlight will cause rapid increase of thermal load of the vehicle, which will
reduce refrigerating effect and cooling rate during the operation of air conditioner.
2. Check out the intensity of the belt and adjust it if necessary (see the Figure)
After parking the bus, please close the doors and windows on right and left sides of the
The intensity and wear rate of belt should be checked after 48-hour running of new vehicle
or every month. At present, in China it is common to control belt tension via hand-feel, i.e.
When vehicle is under cleaning, please close the doors and windows on right and left
vertically pressing 10kg (about 98Newton) force onto the belt at center position between two
sides of the cab to prevent water inflow and damage to the manipulator.
In process of driving, drivers teacup should be placed away from the manipulator to
avoid tea water splashing into the manipulator, causing in damage.

speed boost for air conditioner. If it is found that the revolving speed of engine fails to greatly
increase after air conditioner starts refrigerating, it is necessary to check idle speed boost or
ECU for normal operation or notify the manufacturer of engine or passenger vehicle.
5. In out-of-service seasons, it is forbidden to remove the compressor and generator
transmission belts of air conditioner.
6. During operation of air conditioner, please close all the doors, windows and the air
interchangers (except fresh air device).
7. Do not close all air outlets of air conditioner and keep at least 1/3 outlets opened.
12
Check the belt for wear rate and promptly replace the unqualified belt. (Note: two belts
should be the same during displacement.)
3. Check out the cleanness of filter screens of both return air grille and evaporator and regularly
clean the filter screens (there are three filter screens at each return air grille)
Generally, it is necessary to clean the city bus once or twice a week, and clean coach once
a week. In dusty area, the interval of cleaning can be shortened as appropriate.

Examining methods:
(1) The run-in period of compressor is 250 hours. The oil leakage during this period is normal,
and oiling is necessary only when a great deal of oil leakage occurs.

(Figure 3-9)
Regularly turn on the air conditioner in winter to ensure its operation twice a month (running
for 5-10 minutes each time), so as to guarantee the lubrication of mechanism inside the
compressor.
Before start of vehicle, lock the clutch chuck of rotating compressor with hand or monkey
wrench to make the chuck of compress change from being heavy to being light (advisable),
then switch on the air conditioner for about 5 seconds, and switch it off. After this, switch
on the air conditioner once again for about 5-10s and switch it off as before. After above
procedure, the air conditioner can be normally started up.
For the users in north, the abovementioned operation procedure should be followed before
the first startup of air conditioner in spring.
10. Check the pipeline and joint
Frequently check the exposed rigid tube, flexible pipe and pipeline joint in case of any
interference, wear, extrusion and looseness. The broken pipeline and loose joint will cause
refrigerant leakage, resulting in decrease of refrigerating effect of the air conditioner and
even no refrigeration of the air conditioning system. The extruded pipeline will form stopflow of refrigerant, which will impact refrigerating effect of the air conditioner.
11. Check the wiring cluster
Frequently check the exposed wiring cluster and its connector assemblies in case of any
interference, wear and looseness.

Other factors:

engine speed significantly decreases at the same time and engine stops running. We can analyze
and know the reason based on the principle of air conditioner: compressor, as the heart of
refrigerating system is driven by engine, with power transmitted by belt. If the belt is loose, it
will cause belt slip, and generator fails to keep synchronous operation with engine, resulting
in sudden decrease of engine speed that directly leads to too low current transferred to clutch
coil. Since the current is excessively low, the pull-in between clutch chuck and driving disc is
insufficient, and friction and slipping arise, resulting in compressors failure in running and no

caused by excessively tightened wiring harness or poor connection of socket connector. Please
re-insert the socket connector and secure firmly the two ends of wiring harness.
