1.6 FLOOR SENSOR TEST:
This test measures the resistance of
the floor sensor to verify the integrity
of the component.
A. Set the multi-meter to read ohms.
B. Connect the mulit-meter leads to
the floor sensor wires.
C. The meter should read between 8-25k
ohms depending on the ambient
temperature when taking the test.
If test results are not between 8-25k
contact King Electrical for support.
D. Record the readings on the cable tag
and in the cable test log.
STEP 1: Inspecting and testing the cable and floor sensor.
