Signal description

General

All values given below are between the terminals stated in column 1 and breakout box terminal #B2. Control module terminals #A1-#A60 correspond to terminals #A1-#A60 on the breakout box, terminals #A61-#A70 correspond to terminals #B1-#B10 on the breakout box and terminals #B1-#B50 correspond to terminals #B10-#B60 on the breakout box.

Note. It is important to connect the breakout box and check the ground terminals before taking readings.

HINT: If the numbering of the connector is different from the numbering on the breakout box, the connector number is given first, terminal #A61, followed by the breakout box number in brackets, (terminal #B1). Example: #A61 (#B1).

U=DC voltage in volts (V)U A/C =AC voltage in volts (V)
U bat =Battery voltage in volts (V)F =Frequency in Hertz (Hz)
U low =Voltage near 0 V or 0 V%pulse =Pulse ratio (%)
T =Time in milliseconds (ms)
