TESTING THE PG13

This, unfortunately, will be a process of turning on the power, and hoping all

goes well! If you have a multimeter with a current reading scale of 3 amps or

greater (usually 10 amps), you can connect it in series with your power source

to monitor supply current while turning the unit on.

Meter connections:

P.S.

If you are using an AC transformer, switch the meter into AC mode, DC for

DC. Note the polarity connections above!

With nothing touching the high voltage terminal, switch on the power. The

first thing you should notice is the LED lighting. Hopefully the next thing you

will see is the Neon light lighting up. Hmmm, I wonder why it lights up when

only one lead is connected? We will get to that later.

Now find yourself a decent sized, plastic handled screwdriver. We will be

drawing an arc to it, so you may want to use a screwdriver intended for large

wood screws, not an eyeglass repair screwdriver. Unless you want to smell

burning flesh!
