It works!!

One would hope that next time you'll think about that.

That would be about the average DC value of the unfiltered, full-wave rectified waveform. (a bit low, but in the realm...)

High input-resistance meter, antenna effect on the open leads... yeah, normal.

Crosstalk coupled (hah!) with a complete misunderstanding of how to use the toner set.

I followed the directions. How was I supposed to use it?

On twisted pairs, Stryper; on twisted pairs.

Lacking that, you could try loading the pair at the remote end. But, then, you didn't know which pair to load, did you?

Labeling is SO easy, you should get in the mindset of labeling everything, even if only with a Sharpie and a couple of cryptic letters.

Heated my container up Friday. When the lights come on, it's almost orgasmic, isn't it?

I did label both ends with colored tape. But, after workign all day on my hands and knees pulling wire, I cur the excess wire off at one panel, not thinking about the tape on the end of the wire. So, it was a dumb mistake on my part.

Couldn't you use your meter to compare the DC polarity of the voltage at the charger to the DC voltage polarity you measure at the unlabled ends to sort out which wire of a given pair is which?

You guys need to get out more often! ;-) Greg

That is what an ohm meter is for. You are not the first to have a brain fart.

Figured out today that I've spent 20 dollars in the last 34 days heating my machine room. Some of that is from elevating the heat to dry the mud.

I'd never earn a living as a drywall guy.

When your man cave has all the appointments, life doesn't get much better.

And the meter should read about the same at the charger end of the lines as well. So yes, it is normal. If you want the full voltage, add an electrolytic capacitor (perhaps 100 uF 25VDC) across the charger's leads. You will probably get something above the nominal

Yep!

Yes -- tie the other wires to ground and that should remove most of the crosstalk.

Enjoy, DoN.
