Fwd: [GreenKeys] ST6 testing...

Oops. Forgot to ask one more question.

Can someone point me to a catalog/part number to find the 3 different molex connectors found on the ST6?  My ST6 currently in use uses the older style 1/4" plugs, but the new ones from ebay use the molex.

I thought someone might have this at their finger tips, otherwise a-hunting-I-will-go!

Subject: [GreenKeys] ST6 testing...

hello all, did a little investigating on one of the nicer ST6's I got in the batch of 3 on ebay ($60!). I decided before I plugged it all in and fried everything, I would perform some basic measurements according to the manual... 

On page 22 of the manual, it gives several voltages to check on the various edge connectors. My AC voltages all seem higher. Could this be simply due to higher house voltage from when the ST6 was designed and sold (The ST6 in question seems to be a factory one). For example: 

(2)(a) - pins M&N should be 26VAC, mine is 37VAC 
(2)(b) - should be 13 vac, mine is 18vac 
(2)(c) - should be 250 vac, mine is 297 vac. 

Or, perhaps, could this be RMS vs peak or something? I am using a fluke 8840A/AF meter (very nice, but the darn keys stop working after a while). I am pretty sure my meter is reading RMS. Just as a point of reference, when I connect this meter to the AC line directly, I get a reading of 120 vac 

Should I worry about any of this? 

Thanks
