Introduction
DANGER: Electrical Hazard
Troubleshooting a live control panel exposes personnel to
hazardous voltages. Electrical troubleshooting must be done
by a qualified electrician.
Follow these guidelines when troubleshooting:
• Disconnect and lock out the power supply except when conducting
checks that require voltage.
• Make sure that no one is near the unit when the power supply is re-
connected.
• When troubleshooting electrical equipment, use the following:
– Universal instrument multimeter
– Test lamp (continuity tester)
– Wiring diagram
