A Defective Pulse Solenoid on the Older Midmark M11 Autoclaves Can Be Fatal To The PC Board
WARNING: The failure of the Pulse Solenoid can be fatal to your Control PC Board!
This is a simple test, but you will need an Ohm Meter to complete it
Perform a resistance check. First disconnect the two wires to the coil, then perform the resistance check, looking for a short circuit. With your meter set for 200 ohms (make sure your batter in the meter is fresh), place a probe on each of the two terminals and look at the reading
The resistance of the coil should read as follows: Pulse Solenoid (Part #MIS079- 817) ~11.6 Ohms
If the resistance reading of the Coil is near zero ohms, the Coil is shorted and needs to be replaced
