The No. 2 ion generator sub-assembly operates when the blower switch is on. The air conditioning amplifier assembly sends a drive signal to the No. 2 ion generator sub-assembly. When the No. 2 ion generator sub-assembly receives the drive signal and starts to operate, it outputs an operation condition signal to the air conditioning amplifier assembly.
