Solenoid Windings

  1. To check hold-in circuit, connect solenoid to 6 volt DC power supply, with an ammeter in series. Connect positive lead of 6 volt battery to solenoid terminal and positive lead of ammeter to solenoid case. Attach negative battery lead to other ammeter terminal. Turn on circuit and check current draw.
  2. To check pull-in coil, move the positive ammeter lead from solenoid case to solenoid lead terminal. Turn on circuit and check current draw.
  3. If either winding test does not meet specifications, or if windings look burned or damaged, replace solenoid assembly.
