    Eb8 power reading with nothing plugged in

    Apex lite with an eb8. Nothing plugged in, all outlets “off”.

    I’m getting a 100mAmp reading in the graph, which flips on/off with regular periodicity.

    Tried resetting the values in the classic dashboard, but it keeps coming back. Any ideas!

    Two options:

    - ignore that trivial non-zero reading. Once you get stuff plugged in and devices are drawing current, you really won’t see it.

    - do the zero calibration process. There’s a procedure for zeroing the Amps reading in the Comprehensive Reference Manual. Page 138

    Thanks Russ

    Thinknill option #1 it.

    I’ve tried option 2 three times now but it keeps coming back.

    Was wondering if it’s registering the relays in the two mechanical outlets switching, but it still happens even when set to off (not auto).
