help understanding prop 1

[cmgjeep]

loaded down my program
prop 1 trainer lights up as if every thing is a go
am i suposed to be able to see a voltage on the p1 and po set crews?????????
or how do i know that my pir sensor is working properly??
i hooked up to prop and got nothing,all relays and ground good
the program i am using is under see if yall can help revised by J.M. all i did was change the pause to 1000

ok the pir is working i hooked it up to the trainer and it triggered itself so far so good !!!!
just trying to find my volatge or am i looking for something that is not there??

The OUTx terminals are open connector which means, electrically, the look like a broken wire (off) or ground (on).  If you want to verify voltage out then you need to connect the positive lead (red) of your meter to V+ and the negative lead (black) to the OUTx terminal you're checking.

so in wiring my prop i need to wire my outs with a ground trigger??
i got 2 sets of relays 1 set ground trigger 1 set v+ trigger??
trying to understand the hook up of the prop 1 to my relays
right now i have the positive trigger relays wired up
if i need to use the prop1 12v source how would it come in to play??

Our documentation makes it very clear that relays and valves are wired between the V+ (common) and OUTx terminals.  Please download and print the docs so that you can get the connections correct.

There's a "typical" connection diagram (N.O. trigger + two valves) on page 4 of this document.

Here's the thing: a series circuit doesn't care which side is broken; you can break the low side (as we do) or the high side -- either way works.  The reason for the low-side driver is that they can typically handle more current.
