Before powering the control unit lines, check the following values:

NOTE: A DIGITAL MULTI METER IS REQUIRED

Line resistance

The direct current resistance of the negative wire of the loop SHALL NOT exceed 20 Ohm.

The measurement must be performed by disconnecting the channels "A" and "B" from the LIB

Multi meter points are to be connected to the Negative wire terminals.

To have the total loop wire resistance, multiply by 2 the value read on the Negative side.

Line insulaton

Place between (+) and (-) of line through a tester, with sensors or modules installed and check the following:

Test 1:

Connect : Tester (+) / Line (+) and Tester (-) / Line (-)

Check : Resistance: 1 - 1.3 MOhm

Test 2:

Connect : Tester (+) / Line (-) and Tester (-) / Line(+)

Check : Resistance: 0.7 - 0.9 MOhm

Screen shield insulation from the cable/line

Place a test prod of the tester on the line cable screen and the other test prod on the positive cable (+) of the

same line. The resistance measured must be higher than 15-20 MOhm, better if "infinitive".

Perform the same operation between the line screen and negative cable (-). Check that also in this case the

resistance is higher than 15-20 MOhm.

Earthing /lines insulation

Place a test prod of the tester on the system earthing and the other test prod on the positive cable (+) of the line;

the resistance measured must be higher than 15-20 MOhm, better if "infinitive".

Perform the same operation between the earthing and negative cable (-) of the line. Check that also in this case the

resistance is higher than 15-20 MOhm.

Earthing /cable screen insulation

Place a test prod of the tester on the system earthing and the other test prod on the cable braid; the resistance

measured must be higher than 15-20 MOhm, better if it is "infinitive".

Line voltage

With the sensors/modules line connected, the line output voltage must be 24 Vcc without the device query (no

programmed Point). A voltage much lower than 14 Vcc indicates a connection inversion of sensors or modules.
