Solar Sensor: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION

1. INSPECT SOLAR SENSOR







a. Using an ohmmeter, connect the positive lead to terminal 2 and the negative lead to terminal 1, then measure the resistance between the terminals.

NOTE:The connection procedure for using a digital tester such as a TOYOTA electrical tester is shown. When using an analog tester, connect the positive (+) lead to terminal 1 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 2 of the A/C solar sensor.

HINT:
- As the inspection light is moved away from the sensor, the voltage increases.
- Use an incandescent lamp for inspection. Bring it within 30 cm (11.8 in.) of the A/C solar sensor.

If the result is not as specified, replace the solar sensor.
