Not another one! Group: Benefactors Posts: 4,526 Joined: 1-March 04 From: San Mateo, CA Member No.: 1,743 |
If you have a multi-meter, measuring ohms across two of the pins should give you infinite resistance with the sender held upside down (float at the "top"), and 0 resistance with the sender held upright. This is the light switch. Two other pins will give you a variable resistance from 5-10ohms with the float at the top, and 70-90 ohms with the float at the bottom.
There's a description of which pins to what in my blog. |
