Power Outlet Test
Before starting the tests, the power outlet from which the monitoring
device will get electrical power must be checked. This test checks the
condition of the power outlet to ensure correct results from leakage tests.
For international power outlets, refer to the internal standards agencies
of that particular country. Use a digital multimeter to ensure the power
outlet is wired properly.
If other than normal polarity and ground is indicated, corrective action
must be taken before proceeding. The results of the following tests will be
meaningless unless a properly wired power outlet is used.
