Operating Procedures

Check Unit Internal Resistance (Test for Shorts)

2.

 Turn on the DC Circuit Breaker. 

4.

  Move  the  positive  probe  to  the  dc 

negative post (A). Multimeter should 

read greater than 10 MΩ. 

5.

 Move the positive probe to the pin 

(B) on the dc receptacle. Multimeter 

should read less than 1Ω. 

2.

 Place  the  positive  probe  to  the 

fastener  screw  on  the  dc  post. 

Move  the  negative  probe  to  the 

dc  negative  post  (A).  Multimeter 

should read 0 Volts. 

3.  Place  the  negative  probe  to  the 

fastener  screw  on  the  dc  plate. 

Move  the  positive  probe  to  the 

dc  positive  post  (C).  Multimeter 

should read 0 Volts.

1.

 Set multimeter to Ohms.

1.

 Set multimeter to Volts.

NOTE

!

Unit should be disconnected from any ac power sources prior to testing.

6.

 Move  the  positive  probe  to  the 

fastener  screw  on  the  dc  plate. 

Multimeter  should  read  less  than 

1Ω. 

2.

 Place  the  negative  probe  on  the 

ac  ground  post  and  the  positive 

probe  to  the  dc  positive  post  (C). 

Multimeter    should  read  greater 

than 10 MΩ.
