This test measures the resistance of the
floor sensor to verify the integrity of the
component.
A. Set the multi-meter to read ohms.
B. Connect the multi-meter leads to the

C. The meter should read between 8-25k ohms
depending on the ambient temperature
when taking the test. If test results are not
between 8-25k contact King Electrical for
support.
D. Record the readings on the cable tag and in
the cable test log.
Typical sensor values:
55F (13C ) ________ 17,000 ohms
65F (18C ) ________ 13,000 ohms
75F (24C ) ________ 10,000 ohms
85F (20C ) _________ 8,000 ohms
