Power Specifications: All Hard Wired Units
The following is a brief overview of the power requirements that MUST be checked and/or resolved prior to the installation or service repair of ANY Vatech product
(Typically seen between 115Vac ~ 125Vac at wall with 120Vac medium)
(0.00Vac preferred up to .150 but not to exceed .200Vac)
Neutral to ground voltage
Any potential measured between the neutral (white) conductor and safety ground (green or conduit) conductor of a building electrical system. For further information on Neutral to ground noise / voltage you can read the following Causes and Cures publication here. By Powervar - an Amtek company. Any noise or voltage between these two inherent grounds can cause undesired operation and failure.
Using a digital multimeter probe the White Wire with your + Positive Lead and the earth ground Green/conduit wire with your - Lead in VOLT mode. Do not use 'Auto' or mV mode as this will give us a false positive or inaccurate reading.
Vatech recommends neutral to ground reading to be less than .150 (Desired) and not to exceed .200 else electrical damage may occur.
You must see at least the first whole voltage and the first two decimal values:
You must see at least the full range Hundreth whole number voltage reading in this testing.
