3. Auto Sweep Motor Circuit
● Fig. 4-1 shows the Auto sweep motor drive circuit; the signals shown in Fig.4-2 are output from pins
15 – 22 of microcomputer.
● As the microcomputer’s outputs change as shown in Fig.4-2, the core of the auto sweep motor is excited
to turn the rotor. Table 4-1 shows the rotation angle of horizontal air deflectors.

MOTOR
● The air deflectors are driven by the stepping motors, which are instructed by the microcomputer.
● The air deflectors on the left and right are each driven by two stepping motors.
● The stepping motors and main unit are connected via relay connectors. The air deflectors will not operate
unless the relay connectors are connected: Securely connect the relay connectors identified by colors
when attaching the panel.
● Before removing the panel for servicing, be sure to disconnect the relay connector to protect the lead
wires.
