Abstract
This aims to provide a diagnosing device for detecting the measurements of an electric current, a voltage and a resistance by a temperature/moisture or pressure sensor or a signal state in control means, precisely with a simple circuit constitution, for diagnosing the soundness of a circuit while simplifying a power source circuit, to suppress the cost more than the conventional circuit having no diagnosing function, and for diagnosing the signal status in the measurement or control by a measuring means or a control means. An alternating voltage generating means containing a pulse-wave voltage and an alternating current is connected with the primary side of a transformer, and a driven member such as the measuring means for any of varying electric current, voltage and resistance is connected with the secondary side. The change in the primary-side current, which is caused with the electric power fed through an insulating transformer by the action of the driven member connected with the secondary side, is measured so that the signal status in the measuring or control means is diagnosed according to the measurement result.
