significant. Thus you can try to swap
the two wires around and see if it
makes a difference.
The wires to polarized solenoids
be different from each other. They
may be red and black, or might
have a white stripe. If the two
solenoid's wires are different,
always try swapping their
connections to the decoder..
• Take the station to the Ranger Converter 3000
and perform a direct test before replacing it.
If the station fails with too high current reading
• Check the two-wire between the solenoid and the
station for cracks in the insulation or bad
connections.
• Detach the solenoid from the station and
the resistance of the solenoid itself. If the
is less than expected, it might be damaged by
lightning or it might have a short circuit. Try
replacing the solenoid.
• Take the station to the controller and perform a
direct test before replacing it.
