3.2 How to Switch-on The Air Conditioner on LED Nnumerical Control
Manipulator
When the engine is started up, press the power button to activate evaporator fan. Since
manipulator has power-off memory function, the air condition simultaneously turns into the
running status that exists before shutdown, whereupon it is recommended to adjust the running
mode of the air conditioner and set its running parameter if required.
1. Press MODE to select running mode of the air conditioner, for example, when select
Refrigeration, the light shows green, and the air conditioner starts to refrigerate. The idle
speed boost will start to work as well if it is equipped in the engine.
2. Press or (hold on for more than 2s) to scroll the Defrosting 1 temperature – Defrosting
2 temperature - Setting temperature. When red nixie tube displays setting temperature, the
temperature to be reached inside vehicle can be set within 16°C~32°C. Press or once
to increase or decrease the setting value by 1°C, otherwise, if neither or is pressed
within 5s, it will automatically switch to the temperature inside vehicle display mode.
Note: Since human body’s comfortable temperature is 22°C~28°C, it is suggested to set
the temperature within this range. Once the temperature inside the vehicle is lower than the
setting value, sensor will promptly transmit the induction signal to manipulator whereby the
air conditioner will stop refrigerating.
3. Press to adjust the required air speed.
4. If you feel the air inside vehicle is turbid, press to drive the fresh air motor open the vent
in which fresh air flows into the vehicle. When shows green, the vent opens for long
time.
If AUTO shows green, fresh vent will open for 3 minutes and close for 27 minutes, and then
goes in this cycle.
If O3 shows green, the ozone generator is at work.
5. If you want to switch out refrigerating mode to auto-running mode, press MODE till AUTO
shows green, and then the refrigerating system will conduct auto-control based on actual in-
vehicle temeprature (During auto-operation, don’t press the key on manipulator, otherwise it
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 25°C and the temperature
outside vehicle exceeds 23°C, the air conditioner will turns into refrigerating status
where the conventional setting temperature is 25°C, i.e. Tset=25°C.
(2) In AUTO mode, if the temperature inside vehicle is within 21°C-24°C, the system will
operate in low-speed ventilating status.

will turn into heating status where the conventional setting temperature is 20°C, i.e.
Tset=20°C.
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 0.0°C to 60.0°C (with accuracy
down to 0.5°C); ‘ Lo ’is displayed when the temperature inside vehicle is lower than 0.0°C,
and ‘ Hi ’is displayed the temperature inside vehiclee is higher than 60.0°C.
7. Check defrosting temperature
Press or and hold on for more than 2s to scroll Defrosting 1 temperature – Defrosting
2 temperature.
The display of defrosting temperature ranges from 0.0°C to 90.0°C (with accuracy down
to 0.5°C); ‘ Lo ’is displayed when defrosting temperature is lower than 0.0°C, and ‘ Hi ’is
displayed when defrosting temperature is higher than 90.0°C.
8. Check fault code

3.3 Cautions for Use of the Air Conditioner
1. Please keep the manipulator of air conditioner away
from water
Manipulator, an electrical subassembly, may lead to the malfunction of air conditioner if water
flows into it. Please pay special attention to:
After parking the bus, please close the doors and windows on right and left sides of the
cab to prevent rain soaking and damaging the manipulator.
When vehicle is under cleaning, please close the doors and windows on right and left
sides of the cab to prevent water inflow and damage to the manipulator.
In process of driving, driver’s teacup should be placed away from the manipulator to
avoid tea water splashing into the manipulator, causing in damage.
2. Air conditioner can only be switched on if engine is started up
If air conditioner is switched on before start of engine, clutch will pull in with the driving
disc of compressor, and the later start of engine will cause much friction between clutch
chuck and driving disc of the air conditioner because the instantaneous torque of engine
reaches to the peak. Such operation lasting for a long term will result in early wear-down
of the clutch. (With regard to the sudden shutdown due to the temperature inside vehicle
reaching set value, the instantaneous wear-down of chuck is normal.)
3. Don’t use the air conditioner when fault light or under-voltage light goes on.
4. In seasons when it is suitable to use air conditioner, engine’s idle speed can be appropriately
turned up and kept within 650~850rpm/min. In general, engine is equipped with special idle
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.
8. Generally, do not short-circuit the thermal control or defrosting protection (i.e. No forced
refrigeration).
9. Under no circumstance should the high/low pressure switch be short-circuited.
Correct usage ensures the best refrigerating effect of the air conditioner
with minimum faults and high reliability.
3.3 Maintenance of Air Conditioner
1. Avoid exposing the air conditioned vehicle in sunshine when parking in summer.
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)
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.
vertically pressing 10kg (about 98Newton) force onto the belt at center position between two
belt pulleys with deflection (offset) shown as follows:

deflection per meter of
center distance

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.
Filter Screen at least cleaned once a month in out-of-service seasons
(Figurer 3-3)
Manipulator is installed on the left side of cab

Following cleaning methods are suggested:
Clean the surface of condenser and evaporator cores by high pressure water gun with
cleanser essence.
Blow the surface of condenser and evaporator cores with high pressure air gun.
Note: the high pressure water gun or air gun can be used only after being adjusted
to proper pressure, and the fins should not be beaten down; for specially dirty cores,
especially evaporator core with filter screen not being cleaned for so long that lots of
dust and dirt covered on fins, it is necessary to wash it with special fin leaner diluted with
water for air conditioner
7. Frequently check the compressor for any oil leakage or oil shortage:
Generally, coach air conditioner adopts piston compressor, of which the shaft is sealed via
the sliding seal surface of shaft seal, and the sealing property and lubrication of the shaft
seal all depend on refrigeration oil, so a little oil leakage (dropping) is normal. During actual
application, driver should examine the compressor as necessary, and promptly repair it once
oil leakage arises due to abnormal shaft seal.
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.
(2) The refrigerant level of compressor can be observed via sight glass: check the refrigerant
level 10-15 minutes after startup. Since the actual installation position of compressor is
different (oblique position), it’s better to examine the refrigerant level through two sight
glasses, at least through one sight glass. (Part of refrigerant flows into overhead section
during operation, and it should be verified repeatedly when debugging new vehicle).
It is every driver’s responsibility to regularly clean the filler screen of air
conditioner and keep a clean inside environment of the bus.
5. Check the amount of refrigerant and the dryer condition:
The dual cores should be cleaned at least once a year. The reversed fins found during
cleaning should be corrected with fin comb.
(Figure 3 -7)
Low of refrigerant inside Level Glass
(Figure 3 -6)
Level glass Dryer
(1) Check the moisture content of system via level glass of return air grille. If the color of
test paper goes green, it means the moisture content is normal. If the color of test paper
gradually becomes yellow, it means the moisture content is high and dryer fails where it
is necessary to replace the dryer.
(2) It is possible to judge if the refrigerant is enough by observing the movement of
refrigerant through level glass can help (See Figure 3-6).
No obvious but occasional bubbles in liquid flow means refrigerant is enough, in contrast,
obvious and constant bubbles in liquid flow means refrigerant is not enough.
6. Check the heat exchange fins of evaporator and condenser cores for their cleanness:
Regularly cleaning heat exchanger (of evaporator, condenser) of the air conditioner ensures
the best refrigerating performance of air conditioner and avoids any faults of air conditioner
arising due to excessive dirt on the surface of heat exchanger.
Evaporator
core
Condenser

Figure 3 - 8
Detach the return air grille and clean the filler screen
Warning! If the filter screen is not cleaned regularly, the
heat exchange efficiency of evaporator may be seriously
impact for the case in which lots of dust and greasy
dirt enter into evaporator core, resulting in significant
decrease of refrigerating effect, and even causing
filter screen blockage, less air volume, or incomplete
evaporated fluid refrigerant entering into compressor to
give rise to “liquid hammer” of the compressor.
(Figure 3 -5)

16
SONGZ User’s Manual of Exterior Overhead Air Conditioner
Create healthy human living space 17
(3) When the air conditioner is not
running, it is suggested that the
oil level of one compressor be not
lower than 1/3 of the sight glass.
8. Inject lubricating grease for belt
pulley bearing and support shaft
sleeve of the air conditioner once
a year to ensure lubrication of the
bearing. (2#lithium base grease is
suggested):
9. Regularly turn on the air conditioner
in winter:
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 stop-
flow 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.

4.2 How to switch on the air conditioner:
1. Startup of engine
(1) Before startup of engine, make sure the air conditioner is powered off and turn the key
switch clockwise to “Warm up” position (For the engine with different configuration, the
warm-up function probably doesn’t work, so the position can be skipped over) to prepare
the startup of engine. Warm-up time should not be more than 12s each time. (see Figure
4-4).
Note: If the engine fails to start while starting motor
has been running for 30 seconds, please re-start
the engine after one minute. If the engine fails to
start for three consecutive times, please check the
oil line, air line and electrical system, remove all
related faults if any, and re-start the engine.
(3) Turn key switch clockwise to “Start” position and
the engine will be started by the driving of starting
motor. (See Figure 4-6).
(4) When engine is started up, release the key switch,

The engine operates at low speed to make preparation for switch-on of air conditioner.
Note: When passenger vehicle air conditioner is running, key switch
should keep at “On”.
2. Switch on the air conditioner (see How to switch on the air conditioner by manipulator I)
3. Introduction to timer function of manipulator
The manipulator has timer function, that is, the accumulative service time of the air
conditioner can be displayed and viewed through simple operation. If the manipulator is
changed in the midway, record the service time at the time of changing the manipulator. If it
is necessary to inquire the accumulative service time later, what we have to do is only to sum
the recorded service time and the current displayed service time.
Operation method: hold on both and for 5s, nixie tube will display the first 3
digits of service time of the system; within 10s, press to display the last 3 digits of
service time of the system, then press again to display the first 3 digits of service time
of the system; within 10s, there is no or pressed, it will automatically return to
in-vehicle temperature display.

Chapter V Fast diagnose and treatment of
common faults
The Chapter abstracts following typical fault cases of SONGZ air conditioner for passenger
vehicle for reference in order to help the driver rapidly treat the general faults arising and
accurately report the failure by calling the technician.
1. No refrigeration:
This is a common fault of refrigerating air conditioner, which is caused due to many factors.
First, it is necessary to check if the setting temperature of manipulator is correct. In case of the
temperature inside vehicle lower than the setting temperature, we can lower the temperature
inside vehicle, but the setting value should be within 16°C~32°C. In summer and autumn when
there is big difference of temperature between morning/afternoon and noon, the temperature
inside vehicle is probably less than 16°C where the air conditioner will not work. In this
case, driver should not switch on refrigerating function until air temperature rises again. If it
feels stuffy in vehicle, please turn on the “Ventilation” function of air conditioner or open the
ventilator (skylight) on the vehicle.
Other factors:
No refrigeration due to loose belt: in such case, we would hear the belt slip in engine chamber
when air conditioner is switched on, then refrigeration indicating light shows off at once, the
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 compressor’s failure in running and no
refrigeration of air conditioner. On this occasion, what should be done is only to appropriately
adjust the belt.
No refrigeration due to fuse burnout of compressor (clutch coil): first, check if the inserting
type fuse in control box is burnt out. After replacing the fuse, make sure the fuse is firmly
JMC maintenance items are subject to User’s Manual of JMC Engine, and the maintenance of Fukuda Aoling 4JB1
series of engines is subject to Fukuda User’s Manual. During maintenance, if any fault occurs, please immediately
contact SONGZ service center or service station.

secured, and check if the socket connectors of manipulator and compressor coil are properly
connected, because poor connection will cause high current, resulting in fuse heating and
burnout.
No refrigeration due to the loose socket connector of engine clutch coil: it is generally
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.
No refrigeration due to refrigerant leak: in this case, the “fault light” of manipulator flashes
red. At this moment, the “Refrigeration” should be switched off promptly. Check the engine
chamber, flexible pipe and copper pipe inside air passage for any leakage. In case of slight
leakage, there is refrigerant stain at connector or weld; in case of fast leakage, we can hear the
sound of leakage. Report the check results to SONGZ service center, where the professional
technician will treat the problem.
2. Poor refrigerating effect of air conditioner
Closing most of air outlets will cause poor
refrigerating effect and less air volume. Sine
the temperature of front part of the vehicle is
higher than that of rear part due to direct solar
radiation, sometimes the driver would adjust
the temperature inside vehicle according to own
feeling, resulting in some passengers feeling “too
cold” and closing the air outlets. However, the
more air outlets closed, the less air supplied. If
the defrosting sensor fails, it will even cause evaporator core icing, lead to “short circuit” of
in-vehicle return air inlet and circulating air flow, resulting in “fault” of poor refrigerating
effect of the air conditioner. To solute such problems, please set the temperature inside
vehicle at the value for passengers’ comfort, and open all air outlets.
Poor refrigerating effect due to bad carriage seal. The solution is: close all doors and
windows.
Poor refrigerating effect due to shortage of refrigerant. In order to determine this case,
the first is to check via sight glass if the refrigerant is enough (see Item 5 of 3.3 for
related standard), and notify SONGZ service center to solve the problem.
3. Less air volume or no air supply from the air conditioner
The connection of generator is loose
or broken, causing no air supply
of air conditioner. In this case, it is
necessary to check the connection
of output, grounding and excitation
of generator terminals in the air
conditioner. To solute such problems,
please re-connect or crimp the
terminals.
No air supply is caused by fuse
burnout, generally due to the damaged fuse of main power source 150A or evaporator fan. In
general, 150A main power supply is equipped with spare fuse that can be used to solve the
problem on spot. If the fuse of fan is damaged, the problem can only be solved by SONGZ
service station.
The broken speed regulation resistance of evaporator causes less air volume on both sides or
on one side. On this occasion, please contact the SONGZ service station.
4. Less air volume and significant decrease of refrigerating effect
If it happens during normal running of air conditioning system, it is often due to extremely
dirty filter screen of air conditioner. Especially, for the air conditioner that was used last
summer and re-used next spring and summer, the refrigerating effect of the air conditioner
is obviously worse than the previous year. What should be done is to dismantle the filter
screen of return air grille and filter screen of evaporator, and wash them. For preventing
such problem, it is necessary to regularly wash filter screen of the air conditioner according
to user’s manual. See aforesaid Item 4 of 3.3 for detailed requirements.
5. Abnormal sound of clutch
The fault is often related with bearing and behaviors as follows: when the engine starts up
while air conditioner is shutdown, the clutch makes abnormal sound, and after switch-on of
air conditioner, the abnormal sound disappears. Before pull-in of clutch, the bearing is in “full
working condition” when the load is the maximum. When the problem arises for the first
time, please contact SONGZ service center as soon as possible.
