First measure the temperature using the thermometer.
Then measure the resistance of the sensor at the control.
The wires from the sensor must not be connected to the
control while the test is performed. Using the chart below,
estimate the temperature measured by the sensor. The
sensor and thermometer readings should be close. If the
test meter reads a very high resistance, there may be
a broken wire, a poor wiring connection or a defective
sensor. If the resistance is very low, the wiring may be
shorted, there may be moisture in the sensor or the
sensor may be defective. To test for a defective sensor,
measure the resistance directly at the sensor location.
Do not apply voltage to a sensor at any time as damage
to the sensor may result.

Test the Sensors
A good quality test meter capable of measuring up to 2,000,000 Ω (1kΩ = 1000 Ω) is required to measure the sensor resistance.
In addition to this, the actual temperature should be measured with a good quality digital thermometer.
Test the Power Supply
Make sure exposed wires and bare terminals are not in
contact with other wires or grounded surfaces. Turn on
the power and measure the voltage between the Power
L and Power N terminals (3 and 4) using an AC voltmeter,
the reading should be between 108 and 132 V (ac).
Test the Powered Inputs
Heat Demand
Measure the voltage between the Heat Demand
terminals (1 and 2). When the heat demand device
calls for heat, between 20 and 260 V (ac) should be
measured at the terminals. When the heat demand
device is off, less than 5 V (ac) should be measured.
