Light Control Rheostat (Digital Type)
INSPECTION OF LIGHT CONTROL RHEOSTAT
INSPECT RHEOSTAT OPERATION
Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
1. Connect the negative (—) lead to terminal 4.
(a) With the brightness at minimum, check that there is
9V between terminals 1 and 3.
(b) Gradually turn the rheostat toward the brighter side
and check that the voltage between terminals 1 and 3
decreases from 9V to 0V.
(c) With the brightness at minimum, check that there is
0V between terminals 2 and 4 and 12V when brightness is at any other level.
If operation is not as specified, replace the rheostat.
