Troubleshooting the Wiring General The following tests are to be 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), 0 - 2,000,000 Ohms, and testing for continuity is essential to properly test the wiring and sensors.
Testing the Wiring Testing 24 V (ac) Power Supply 1. Remove the front cover from the setpoint control. 2. Use an electrical test meter to measure (ac) voltage between the R and C terminals. The reading should be 24 V (ac) +/– 10%. 3.

Testing the Sensor To test the sensor, the actual temperature at the sensor location must be measured. Use a good quality digital thermometer with a surface temperature probe for ease of use and accuracy. Where a digital thermometer is not available, place a spare sensor alongside the one to be tested and compare the readings.
