Checking WHP Loop Controller Driver Chip
Diagram
Meter Set To Read DC Volts
Note: These tests assume that the controller being checked is powered up.
Overview
This check is intended to determine if the Comm Driver chip on a controller is damaged.
Damage typically occurs when the communications loop is exposed to excessive voltage, as
may occur during installation, due to wiring errors. The driver chips are socketed on all
boards to facilitate servicing. It is unusual for driver chips to fail during normal operation.
Almost all failures occur as a result of wiring related problems.
Measurements
Local Loop
Acceptable Range
T – SHLD
2.4 - 2.5 Volts DC
R – SHLD
2.4 - 2.5 Volts DC
Note: Minor variances may not indicate a problem if both tests indicate similar values.
Action
Condition
Action
If voltages are too high or too low on either
side
The controller has a damaged Comm
Driver chip. Replace the driver chip. See
