I've tried 3 x now, keeps crapping out... so I'll keep posting, then editing till this sucker is DONE!
HERE GOES...
Reporting back... i don't have any MICRO-CT's on pins 1 or 4...
I have SEPARATE CT's (CT-200's) on channels 1 and 2. I realized i was on pins 3-4 so i moved them to pins 1-2, but exact same results.
Question... IF i had any micro-80's on pins 1 or 4, would i ALSO see the noise on NON-used channels? Right now I'm NOT seeing any spurious watts on the UNused channels.
I have attached some photos of my partially finished project. Any input would be welcome, if you see anything wrong.
P.S. The left indicator light, is flashing RED every few seconds... is this normal? I have attached a short video (OH YEA, CRAP... after 15 minutes, it crapped out, I forgot, no videos... ok here is the YouTube link...)

I'll report back after i check.
It's for sure not real LED display loads, as there's too many on NO load channels.
(one forgotten device i could see, but not a few, as in my case)

Thanks, Fred
1) If you're seeing this on almost every channel, I would check to make sure you have no Micro-CTs or Split-30s connected to Ports 1,2 or 3,4. If Micro-CTs or Split-30s are on those channels, it'll cause bleed-over to adjacent channels due to overloading them.
2) Try one first to make sure it works, you should only do it on any channel you suspect to have noise. Keep in mind that some loads, like LED displays for example, may look like noise (constantly consuming about 1W).
3) That shouldn't cause an issue.
