Title: Build Troubles! [Resolved]
Post by: Vili on May 25, 2020, 05:47:03 AM

Hi!
New to the forum, excited to build more products.... if I can figure out the current one :(

So I'm into the voltage testing, and reading values inconsistent with the manual.
44 - No read to ground
45 - No read to ground
46 - 0 Ohm to ground
47 - No read to ground

I've checked the wiring more than once, and can't seem to pin down the problem. All the diodes are reading, correctly.

Thanks for any help!

Your readings are what I see written in the manual as far as resistances go.

Weird, the manual I'm using and supplied with has these values:
44 = *
45 = 0 Ohm
46 = OL
47 = OL

Major conflict there would be 46.

The manual was revised in October 2019, and this error with resistances was patched up.

Gotcha,
Well I ordered this kit probably 2 months ago and was supplied with Rev 07-21-19.

So if what you have said is all good, I'll move onto the next section of the build.
But... for the sake of others building this in the future with this problem...
Where would I place a request to get the updated documentation provided with each kit?
This obviously was an issue with a recently purchased kit, wanna keep others from posting the same questions if possible (or getting invalid readings and hooking up to power :( ).
