NOTE: Do not remove the attached resistor, which is used for internal resistance calibration. 3. Measure resistance across pins 1 & 3, and across pins 2 & 3 (ohmmeter scale: Rx1k): • Normal: 2.8k ohms (approximate) at 77ºF (28ºC) +/- 18ºF (-10ºC) • Abnormal: Infinite 2. Remove wire leads. 3. Measure resistance (ohmmeter scale: Rx1): • High Speed-Normal: Red (R) and Blue (BU) wires: 100-200 ohms (approximate); Blue (BU) and Black (BK) wires: 40-100 ohms (approximate) ; Abnormal: Infinite • Low Speed-Normal: Red (R) and Blue (BU) wires: 100-200 ohms (approximate); Blue (BU) and White (W) wires: 80-150 ohms (approximate); Abnormal: Infinite 1 BK W R BK W BU HF Y R 5-4
