Troubleshooting Tips

The line voltage tests are conducted without a load. If these results are not
met, it could be a problem with the circuit, or a load on the circuit. To
determine what may be causing the problem, turn off the loads on the circuit
and re-check. If the test results do not change, than the problem may be
within the circuit. If the test results return to normal, than the problem is
being caused by one or more of the loads on the circuit.
