Step 1

After following the steps in 

Table 17, p. 25

, disconnect the sensor wires from the input terminals. 

Use the volt meter (set to read dc voltage) to measure the voltage across the terminals for the 
input you are troubleshooting.
The voltage should be 3.1–3.8 Vdc (see 

Table 22, p. 27

). If the voltage is not in that range, the 

MP503 has a circuit board problem.
