External Input
The control can accept an external input signal from an external control. If an external
input signal is required, connect the positive 0-10 V (dc) wire to the +V(in) pin and
connect the negative 0-10 V (dc) wire to the Com/-.
Testing
The wiring harness must be unplugged from the connector on the control before testing. To remove the wiring harness,
push down on the tab on the connector and pull away from the control.
The following tests are performed using standard testing practices and procedures and should only be carried out by
properly trained and experienced persons.
A good quality electrical test meter, capable of reading from at least 0-300 V (ac) and at least 0-2,000,000 Ohms, is essen-
tial to properly test the wiring and sensors.
TEST THE SENSORS
In order to test the sensors, the actual temperature at each sensor
location must be measured. A good quality digital thermometer
with a surface temperature probe is recommended for ease of use
and accuracy. First measure the temperature using the thermome-
ter and then measure the resistance of the sensor at the control.
Using the chart below, estimate the temperature measured by the
sensor. The sensor and the thermometer readings should be close.
If the meter reads a very high resistance, there may be a broken
wire, a poor wiring connection or a defective sensor. If the resist-
ance is very low, the wiring may be shorted, there may be moisture
in the sensor or the sensor may be defective. To test for a defective
sensor, measure the resistance directly at the sensor location.
