CAUTION: Remove power from
unit before making the
resistance measurement
NOTE
: The resistance
measurement between the com
and VS voltage pads should
read approximately
3M ohms
with voltmeter leads oriented as
shown in the diagram. If the
voltmeter leads are reverse the
reading will be infinite
.
A typical faulty reading is 500
ohms. Replace the YDT or YDB
if a low resistance is measured
