SECTION 7. BASIC ELECTRICAL INFORMATION & SCHEMATICS
7.1 GENERAL
This section contains basic electrical information and sche-
matics for locating and correcting most electrical problems. If
a problem develops which is not presented in this section or
corrected by listed corrective actions, obtain technically quali-
fied guidance before proceeding with any additional mainte-
nance.
NOTE:
Some procedures/connectors shown in this section may
not apply to all models.
7.2 MULTIMETER BASICS
A wide variety of multimeters or Volt Ohm Meters (VOM) can
be used for troubleshooting your equipment. This section
shows diagrams of a common, digital VOM configured for sev-
eral different circuit measurements. Instructions for your VOM
may vary. Please consult the meter operator’s manual for more
information.
Grounding
"Grounding the meter" means to take the black lead (which is
connected to the COM (common) or negative port) and touch
it to a good path to the negative side of the Voltage source.
Backprobing
To "backprobe" means to take the measurement by accessing
a connector’s contact on the same side as the wires, the back
of the connector. Readings can be done while maintaining cir-
cuit continuity this way. If the connector is the sealed type,
great care must be taken to avoid damaging the seal around
the wire. It is best to use probes or probe tips specifically
designed for this technique, especially on sealed connectors.
Whenever possible insert probes into the side of the connec-
tor such that the test also checks both terminals of the con-
nection. It is possible to inspect a connection within a closed
connector by backprobing both sides of a connector terminal
and measuring resistance. Do this after giving each wire a gen-
tle pull to ensure the wires are still attached to the contact and
contacts are seated in the connector.
Min/Max
"Min/Max" recording feature of some meters can help when
taking measurements of intermittent conditions while alone.
For example, you can read voltage applied to a solenoid when
it is only operational while a switch, far from the solenoid and
meter, is held down.
Polarity
Getting a negative Voltage or current reading when expecting
a positive reading frequently means the leads are reversed.
Check what reading is expected, location of the signal and
leads are correctly connected to the device under test. Also
check the lead on the "COM" port goes to the ground or nega-
tive side of the signal and lead on the other port goes to the
positive side of the signal.
Scale
M = Mega = 1,000,000 * (Displayed Number)
k = kilo = 1,000 * (Displayed Number)
m = milli = (Displayed Number) / 1,000
μ = micro = (Displayed Number) / 1,000,000
Example: 1.2 k
Ω
= 1200
Ω
Example: 50 mA = 0.05 A
Voltage Measurement
• If meter is not auto ranging, set it to the correct range
(See multimeter’s operation manual)
• Use firm contact with meter leads
