Input

BCM INPUT DISPLAYS:

When troubleshooting a malfunction the BCM input display can be used to determine if the switched inputs can be properly interpreted. When one of the various input tests is selected, the state of that device is displayed as "HI" or "LO." In general, the "HI" and "LO" refer to the input terminal voltage for that circuit. The display also indicates if the input changed state so that the technician could activate or deactivate any listed device and return to the display to see if it changed state. If a change of state occurred, an "X" will appear next to the "HI/LO" indicator. The "X" will only appear once per selected input, although the "HI/LO" indication will continue to change as the input changes. Some tests are momentary and the "X" can be used as an indication of a change.
