How To Use Solenoid Voltage Tester
How To Use Solenoid Voltage Tester. Power on the solenoid valve and move the thin steel wire close to the coil to see whether its suction is viable. Showing how to test a 4 post dc solenoid/contactor.

Feeling the difference between 120 & 480v using a wiggy for the first time is not something you forget easily. Attach the red probe's alligator clip to the red electrical post on the solenoid valve. Don’t leave the solenoid energized too long.
Again, Make Sure That You Are At A Safe Distance From The Engine And Wearing Safety Glasses And Protective Gloves.
Without touching the red probe, attach the black probe to the black electrical post on the solenoid valve. Have someone assist you in igniting the engine as you observe the reading value displayed on your multimeter. The multimeter is a troubleshooting device that can be used to check for voltage, current, and resistance in an electronic system.
It Has Two Test Leads Connected To A Solenoid Coil Inside A Molded Plastic Casing.
Use the same ac voltage reading on your voltmeter as used on the controller. It is no coincidence that the solenoid has two wires and the controller had two screw terminals for you to test. If it is reading ac current, a neon lamp in the face of the tester lights.
Offers Dual Voltage Indication With A Solenoid Vibration And Visual Neon Light Bulb.
Solenoid testers are recognizable by their mechanical pointer displays, and clacking noise heard when the user applies a voltage. Check that coil resistance reading against voltage spec range. Attach the positive wire (usually red) from the multimeter to the positive terminal on the solenoid.
Using A Fluke Multimeter And Power Probe.
Vibration indicates voltage while neon light indicates dc polarity. Showing how to test a 4 post dc solenoid/contactor. % read the amperage on your meter.
Conduct A Click Test And Check The Battery.
Test the current from the solenoid. A spring presses against the solenoid holding it down. This is the terminal going to the starter.
