The analog input wiring can be checked at the
Loop Controller by checking voltages on the
Analog Input Connector.

If any of the RWT, SWT, OAT inputs read
greater than 5.0 volts then it is OPEN (no
sensor is connected), an input that reads less
than 0.1 volts is SHORTED. Check for wiring
problems before proceeding.

The Loop Pressure, Manual Reset, Phase
Loss, Fire Alarm and Request to Run inputs
should read greater than 5.0 volts if the at-
tached contact is OPEN and less than 0.5 volts
if the contact is CLOSED (contacts CLOSE
between the input and GND). The Fire Alarm
and Request to Run contacts are located on
the Analog Input Expansion Board.

Note The Loop Controller must be pow-

ered for these tests.

Proof of Flow

When used with the Low Pressure Switch option:

If the input is OPEN, the voltage will be greater than 5.0 volts

If the input is CLOSED, the voltage will be less than 0.5 volts

When used with 0-50 PSI Loop Pressure Sensor option:

5.1 VDC = 50 PSI – 0.0 VDC = 0 PSI
