After you complete the G8000 wiring, be sure to perform the
Checking Voltage Solenoid Terminals procedure below.
1. Rotate the timer knob counter-clockwise until the tripper
screw is in-line with the time of day pointer.
2. Connect a voltmeter across solenoid terminals X and 3.
3. Activate power to the timer.
4. Take one of these actions.
If... Then...
Voltage is present at the sole-
noid terminals,
Turn off power and check
wiring and other system
components for feedback
voltages.
There is no voltage present at
the solenoid terminals
Proceed to step 5.
5. Rotate timer knob until timer transfers power into Defrost
Mode.
6. Determine if voltage is present at solenoid terminals X and 3.
7. Take one of these actions.
If... Then...
Voltage is present at the sole-
noid terminals,
Turn off power and check
wiring and other system
components for feedback
voltages.
There is no voltage present at
the solenoid terminals
Turn off power to the
defrost timer and discon-
nect the volt meter from the
solenoid terminals.
NOTE: After you have veried that there is no feedback volt-
age, the procedure is complete.
