Checking resistance values on Airbrake adjustable resistor

Post by Webby »

Hi All,

I've assembled my DIY Airbrake using all the parts from Mouser and I am about to start hooking up all of the wiring.

Just one thing I would like to clarify regarding the checking of the 3 resistance readings on the adjustable resistor.

When referring to most of the commonly available layout diagrams (fixed resistor at the top, adjustable resistor at the bottom, Rheostat to the left, Lorlin Switch to the right), am I right in assuming that I take each reading in turn, between the right hand end tag of the adjustable resistor (as you look at the diagram) and each adjustable clamp?

Many thanks in advance :D
