How do I know there is power to the unit?

There is not a power light or switch, but if it is not receiving power, both monitors will be black.

there was not a power light on mine I'm not sure if that has changed or not. Good question though

There is no power light indicator. But it won't pass any video unless it's plugged in.

No lights come on, and the unit doesn't really get warm when it's operating, so there aren't any visible signs of power being on. Hasn't been a problem for me, though, as it has always worked really well so I personally don't need to see any visible sign of the device getting power.

Its hard to give an estimate without knowing what the current or draw is from those devices. By looking at the Power details on the power supplies should give you all the info needed to calculate the duration.

You have to find out the voltage going into your home or studio from the electric company or by checking out your fuse box. The incoming voltage amount may be posted on it.

I watched a couple Youtube video reviews where people used meters to check and it seems there is between 11 and 16 watts in over head while the battery is charging. If the unit is turned off and still plugged into the wall outlet the battery will still charge to keep it at 100% but not actually output power to it's outlets. If the battery is 100% charged then there is no draw what so ever.The only way to know for sure what is going on is for you to actually test your unit to see how much power it is consuming. From what I saw in the video's on Youtube it ranged between 0 and 19 watts, depending on the charge state of the batteries.

I'm not sure what you are asking, but if it is in reference to the horsepower- it really isn't important. I have had no problems concerning power. The unit is awesome!

HI Visa, need a bit more info,..this instrument can tell you if you have power, if your neutral is connected and if you have a short circuit. If you need to know how many circuits there are in a space, count the circuit brakers. If you need to know how many receptacles are on a circuit, shut off a breaker and see what is live or not and you'll be able to quantify them. Have fun, Tom

Use a PSU calculator to determine necessary wattage. (http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp)

Yes you can measuretrue power but you cant measure current and volts at the same time

Basically you push buttons to view present voltage current and watts or power factor and accumulated kWh (energy consumption over time). This article might be helpful: http://greenhomearchitect.com/2013/11/22/weekend-project-where-is-all-my-electricity-really-going/

There is a small chain that connects the power measure to the carrier. please take a look at these links.https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v;=-l6zHscC9Zohttp://leeprecision.com/load-master-help-videos.html

there are some answers shown , I have not even started to use mine yet. I'm just getting started to set my unit up, there fore I can't give an answer at this time.

There is not indicator, but the power last for so long.. One time charged for two hours will last for about one month or more with 2 hours daily use 5 days a week(not weekends).

The unit stays powered all the time. I not checked excessive heating (only a slight heating, that's normal).

Yes it will test for power as well as continuity just make certain to read the directions to confirm the color and sound that goes with each.

Buy a P3 P4400 Kill A Watt meter......they're about 19 bucks and will tell you exactly how much power its using
644367
You can see how much power your using...works as described. I use it to see how much power I will need and then I know how big a solar panel or energy generating bike I will use to go off the grid.

watts = volts x amps, so 1rst, whatever you are talking about has a voltage, usually stated near its UL or CE label and states an amperage. Multiply its volts x amps and you'll have the watts used or wattage. But this isn't an 'or ' question, as you must know 2 out of 3 to find the third. ie look at its label, it'll give two out of three, so you can calculate the third.
