Mr. Mercado and Mr. Obado delved into various topics, including the inverter type air-conditioning unit, comparisons between non-inverter and inverter systems, and the specialized multi-tester functions used for inverter units. They also covered components and wiring diagrams of inverter units, individual diagnostics, error code interpretations, proper reporting procedures, general cleaning, and maintenance protocols. Half of every session was hands-on diagnostics training, followed by a question and answer. The training significantly enhanced the diagnostic skills of the Motorpool Staff, empowering them to swiftly identify and address issues on air-conditioning units. This development underscores the NIGS Administrative Office's dedication to fostering continuous learning among its personnel, an aspect of the Institute's sustainability plan.
