1. Double check control wire connections and collector thermistor resistance with an
ohmmeter/multimeter and alligator clips. If resistance and associated temperature is
expected and reasonable (even though collectors are covered, they will be hot), proceed with
Energy Station Controller connections
(Fig. 4.11.1).
If a short or open connection is perceived,
check for and correct faulty connections.
