#176552 - Test as intended application... Responding to: ???'s previous message |

Since your specific requirement is to test the assemblies, don't you think that it would be a good idea for your test to verify that the assembly does actually work in Both modes...? Chico: Since you are apparently testing assemblies does it not make sense to test the assembly in the way that corresponds to how the assembly gets used in the final system application? If the sensor has a wiring harness attached it seems as that this harness could be one that connects the sensor in one way or the other. If this harness is a two conductor hookup you then would have to test it as a sensor with phantom power. If the harness is a three conductor assembly then the immediate consideration may be to test it as a unit with direct power hookup. If in the off chance that the sensor, with its three conductors, could be connected up in a system that had a phantom power configuration upwind from the sensor harness connector then it would be important to test for coverage of that configuration. So it seems that it is up to you to decide. Based in actual application usage for these sensor assemblies you may very well end up needing to test in both configurations as Andy has suggested.
