CHECKING EQUIPMENT
CAUTION
Handle Microcell™ sets with care. Dropping,
striking, etc. can damage the Microcells™.
VISUAL CHECK
Visually inspect all equipment in the order,
including Microcells™, junction boxes,
Installation Kit, and insulation (if provided), to verify
they were not damaged during shipment. If any
item was damaged, contact Kistler-Morse
®
immediately for a replacement.
FUNCTIONAL CHECK
Perform a functional check of the Microcells™
before installation to verify they were not damaged
during shipment. Two methods of performing the
check are described below.
TESTING WITH A KISTLER-MORSE ®
TEST METER
The Kistler-Morse
® Test Meter (Figure 2-1) is
designed specifically to test Kistler-Morse ®
sensors. If you do not have a test meter,
disregard this section and proceed to TESTING
WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER (DMM).
Note
The test meter display indicates a low battery or
behaves erratically when the batteries are weak.
When this occurs, replace the batteries before
testing.
1. See Figure 2-1. Connect the Microcell™
red, white, and black wires to the
corresponding test meter terminals. Place
the Microcell™ on a stable surface.
2. Turn on the power to the test meter and set
the Simulate/Test Switch to the Test
position. Verify the no-load output is
between +25mV and -25mV.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for each Microcell™.
If the no-load output for any Microcell™ is
outside these specifications:
