TOOLS MENU - VOLTMETER
As part of its lock diagnostic and keypad
testing capabilities, the Phoenix has the
ability to make precision power
(voltage/amperage) and resistance
measurements. The VOLTMETER app in the
TOOLS menu allows you to access these
capabilities directly for other day to day uses.
A few import notes:
DO NOT connect to AC lines (DC voltage only).
DO NOT connect the voltage measurement input to over 13.2 Vdc.
DO NOT connect the voltage measurement inputs with the positive and negative
lines flipped (Phoenix = FRIED)
DO NOT connect a line with live voltage on the resistance measurement input.
Connecting
The voltage input lines can be directly accessed through the JumpBox cable
(attached directly to the top of the Phoenix).
The resistance input lines can currently only be accessed through the keypad
testing cables. Attach a keypad with testing cable to view the total resistance
measurement on that line.
NOTE: This is a new feature that must be used with caution and is included in
the Phoenix 4.0 per request to gauge overall interest level. Depending upon
feedback Taylor Technologies will begin offering a voltmeter adapter for the
ACCESSORY PORT with simple alligator clip connections and integrated
reverse polarity protections.
