Porter Troubleshooting
Posted
Updated
Troubleshooting for the Porter series of controllers.
- First print off the fault finding sheet, this lists the voltages you should expect to find and gives an indication of the problem if they are wrong.
- Note: These values are for a Porter with a 10k pot connected to pins A, C, and E. Values may change slightly for other input configurations.
