Check polarity on terminals.
Example: set a VOM meter to measure DC volts.
Place the positive lead on 1812 terminal 2 and the
negative lead on 1812 terminal 1. If the meter shows
a positive voltage - OK. If the meter shows a negative
voltage (needle moves off scale to the left), reverse
the wires. Repeat this process to check other wire
pairs on bypass switch and 1812 terminal strip.
