With the DVM set to the Ohms range, measure the
resistance between pins B, C, D, E, and the case of
the transducer. Measure the resistance between B,
C, D, E and the case of the connector.
There should
be no connection between the case and any of the
pins.

ANALOG DRIVE VOLTAGE
Analog sensor voltages are measured at the analog
input group terminals.
The drive voltage for all analog sensors is measured
between any +DR and -DR in the analog input group and
is
5.25volts DC
±±±±
0.1
To measure this voltage use a Digital Voltmeter set to
the DC voltage range.
1. Connect the black (negative) lead of the DVM to any
DR- terminal in the analog input group.
2. Connect the red (positive) lead of the DVM to any
DR+ terminal in the analog input group.
3. Measure the drive voltage.
5.25 volts DC
±±±±
0.1
4. If the voltage is out of range, disconnect all of the
analog sensors by disconnecting the sensor
connectors from the computer in order to determine
if any sensor or its cabling is causing the drive
voltage to be incorrect.
5. If the drive voltage is correct with all of the sensors
disconnected, connect each sensor in turn to
determine which sensor is causing the drive voltage
to incorrect.
6. If any sensor is causing the drive voltage to be
incorrect, carry out the trouble shooting procedure
for that sensor.
If the drive voltage is incorrect with all sensors
disconnected, it may be necessary to replace the
computer.
Before replacing the computer, carry out the Power
Supply Tests detailed on
Pages 32-33
of this manual.
NOTE: FOR TECHNICIANS FAMILIAR WITH MG3
UNLIKE THE MG3A SERIES, THE MG4 SERIES DOES
NOT HAVE A DUAL CHANNEL PRE-AMPLIFIER.
THERE IS NO POINT IN THE COMPUTER WHERE
ANALOG VOLTAGES RELATIVE TO PRESSURE CAN
BE MEASURED.
AIN0 AND AIN1 HAVE DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS IN
THE MG4 SYSTEM AND ARE NOT THE POINT AT
WHICH TO MONITOR PRESSURE VOLTAGES.

The analog drive voltage can be m easured
betw een any D R+ term inal and any D R–
term inal. It is 5.25 volts D C + /– 0.1 volts.
Faults in any cable or sensor can cause the
analog drive voltage to be faulty.
