I'm forcing an output OFF, but the output still conducts electricity.
Could that be output module problem?
Could that be output module problem?
If however, you use a voltprobe, with a 'leakage' button, you can apply a load with the leakage button.
Question 1. Suppose that you force an output on, but that output will not conduct any electricity. What does that mean?
so the answer to Question #1 in simplest terms: if you force an output “on” and it doesn’t conduct electricity, then the output is bad ...
Question 2. Suppose that you force an output off, but that output still conducts electricity. What does that mean?
so the answer to Question #2 in simplest terms:
Part A - when using a relay-contact type of output:
if you force an output “off” and it still conducts electricity, then the output is bad ...
Part B - when using a solid-state type of output:
if you force a solid-state type output “off” and it still conducts electricity, then the output might (MIGHT!) still be good ... don’t be surprised ... the output can still be perfectly serviceable even though it does conduct a small amount of electricity even in the “off” condition ... in order to conduct a conclusive test to tell whether the output is “really good” or “really bad”, you’ll need to provide a reasonably heavy load to the output while you’re testing it ...
Answer to Question #1: if you force an output “on” and it doesn’t conduct electricity, then the output is bad ...
Answer to Question #2: if you force an output “off” and it still conducts electricity, then the output is defective ...
