Step 1
After following the steps in
, disconnect the sensor wires from the input terminals.
Use volt meter (set to read dc voltage) to measure the voltage across the terminals for the input
you are troubleshooting.
The voltage should be 16.00–18.00 Vdc (refer to
). If the voltage is not in that
range, the MP503 has a circuit board problem.
Circuit board

Probable Cause
Step 1
After following the steps in
, use your meter (set to read dc voltage) to measure
the voltage across the terminals for the input you are troubleshooting. Verify the voltage falls
on the curve shown in
for the input current.
If the voltage is not appropriate for the mA reading, you have a sensor wiring problem.
If the voltage is correct for the mA reading, proceed to the next step.
Sensor wiring
problem.
Step 2
Disconnect the sensor wires from the input terminals. Use your meter (set to read dc voltage)
to measure the voltage across the terminals for the input you are troubleshooting.
The voltage should be 0.10–0.13 Vdc (refer to
). If the voltage is not in that range,
the MP503 has a circuit board problem.
