Hi- This is my first post; sorry if a newbie question...
I'm trying to test 2 relays on a board. (The board is for a life fitness treadmill that stopped working). Both relays are 5 pin "CO" type. (one leg is open while the other is closed when de-energized- if energized the opposite occurs: with the first leg getting closed and the second getting open). The first relay tests out fine with "1" or infinity on the resistance scale of my multimeter while de-energized and near 0 when energized. The second relay shows a resistance of about 10 with the multimeter in the "20k" range. This drops to near zero when energized. The other leg does the same thing (in reverse of course). My question: Is the relay good or bad? (Is this adequate resistance for a "closed" leg?)
Relay : siemens T7CS5D-09
THANKS!
