PW2000 User Instructions
The following instructions provide the details of how to operate and troubleshoot with the PW2000. The
PW2000 comes with two long leads and one short lead. The long leads are used for performing all of the
testing functions. Each long lead is color coded to simplify the testing of DC circuits where positive (RED)
and negative (BLACK) connections must be consistent. For AC circuits, polarity does not matter. The
short lead in combination with the long black lead is used for performing the valve finding function only.
Warning: Even though the PW2000 is water-resistant, do not submerge the tester in water.
Caution:
The PW2000 may be used on AC or DC circuits up to 28 Volts. Use of the tester on circuits
with voltages greater than 28V will severely damage the tester and pose the possibility of
electrical shock. This tester produces a very loud, high-pitched tone while in operation. For
testing in small or enclosed areas, the enclosed rubber cap or adequate ear protection should
be used.
The PW2000 can be used to perform the following tests:
•
Power Check Tests
Transformer output power check
Output station check at controller
Power check at valve
•
Blown Fuse Test
•
Wiring Tests
Wire identification
Broken wire check
•
Open Valve Solenoid Test
•
Relay Coil and Wire Test
•
Valve Finding Test
Transformer output power check
Loud Tone – Transformer OK
No Tone – Transformer bad
Output station check at controller
Loud Tone – Output station OK
No Tone – Output station bad
Power check at valve
Loud Tone – Valve power OK
No Tone – Valve power bad
Blown fuse test
Loud Tone on both sides of the fuse
– Fuse good
Loud Tone on only one side of the
fuse or no tone on either side of
the fuse – Fuse bad
POWER CHECK INSTRUCTIONS
1. Connect one long lead to each of the output terminals of
the controller's transformer
2. Listen for tone
1. Connect one long test lead to one of common terminals
on the controller and the other long lead on the output
terminal of the station to be tested
2. Activate the output of the station to be tested
3. Listen for tone
1. Disconnect the station wires at the valve
2. Connect one long test lead to the station's common wire
and the other long lead to the station's power wire
3. Activate the output of the station to be tested
4. Listen for tone
BLOWN FUSE TEST INSTRUCTIONS
1. Connect one of the long leads to one of the common
terminals of the controller
2. Touch both sides of the fuse with the other long lead
3. Listen for tone
