[QUOTE="riber3, post: 442903, member: 28830"] As this is my first posting please be gentle LOL. I was testing an electro magnetic switch on a 3 phase ramp that had a slightly bent actuator arm that had been repaired. I tested for continuity with a multimeter and all seemed ok. I unplugged the 3 pin plug to expose the pins and according to the drawing it operates on 24 volts and so I thought I could use my Sealey Probe tool to activate it just to see if it would throw the arm out. Sadly it did nothing and now my probes negative test light isn't working and will not reset. So in conclusion I presume the amperage was to great for my probe to cope with despite having a safety reset? and can anyone tell me how I could perform this test to make the arm work before connecting back into the main system. Many thanks [/QUOTE]
