TEST EQUIPMENT
You will need a digital or analog multimeter (VOM) with fine tip probes to troubleshoot the bed.
WARNING:
See your VOM owner’s manual for complete and detailed information regarding the operation of your
VOM. Failure to do so could cause personal injury or equipment damage.
Figure 2-1 on page 2-2 represents a common digital VOM. The three basic electrical functions that you
will test are alternating current (AC), direct current (DC), and ohms/resistance.
Figure 2-1. VOM
Figure 2-1 on page 2-2 shows the correct connection for the fine tip probes. The red probe plugs into
the port marked “V ” The black probe plugs into the port marked “COM.” The troubleshooting repair
analysis procedure (RAP) identifies where on the bed to connect the red probe and black probe.
WARNING:
Unplug the bed from its power source and disconnect the battery backup before checking
ohms/resistance measurements. Failure to disconnect line voltage to the bed can damage the VOM and
cause equipment damage or personal injury.
