  2. With all switches pushed upward (to close windows), there should be continuity between terminals No. 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 11 and No. 2, 4, 6, 8 and 9. With all switches pushed downward (To open all windows), there should be continuity between terminals No. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and terminals No. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 11.
  3. With lockout depressed, there should not be any continuity between terminal No. 11 to any other terminal. If switch fails any of these tests, replace master switch.
