Looking for some advice. Have a Klargester treatment plant that has a control panel monitoring its functions/faults. When a fault is detected, the system flashes a beacon outside. For the past 6 months or so, the beacon has been flashing, but there is no fault. The beacon doesnt flash as it would with a genuine fault. It flashes a dim light, gets brighter then more dim again.
When i took the beacon apart, there is a small printed circuit board with a wire to the bulb. There was moisture inside so I dried it out and re-connected it. This has not fixed the problem. A new beacon is £99 so I want to be sure its the beacon and not another fault with the control panel. The beacon is connected to 3 terminals inside the control panel, L/N/E. I assume current is sent to the beacon in the event of a fault but I'm not sure.
Is there anyway to test this using a multimeter? I assume that when no fault is present, no current should be sent to the beacon but I dont really know. Any advice would be appreciated. Im reluctant to buy another beacon without being 99% sure thats the problem.
Thanks in advance.
