K2 Control Board Resistance Checks

[Jeff Hetherington-2]

Hi Everybody.

I have just completed the Control board on #3375 and have a question about
the resistance checks.  Specifically the check on U4, OUT

The manual says to look for 3-7 k at this pin ... and I measure 2.48 k with
my DMM.  Is this value close enough?  Should I be looking for a problem to
correct?

Thanks for any help.

Jeff,

The reading is a wee bit on the low side, BUT...
The proper answer depends on your DMM.  First try reversing the probes, and
try another DMM if you can obtain one (beg or borrow).

Bottom line - know your test instruments and their limitations - only then
can you know whether a problem exists or not.
