When attempting to perform the powerline voltage measurement, the reading has been only (approximately) 5 or 6 volts. On a previous build, a similar low voltage reading was solved by assuring a firm placement of the power cord into the IEC connector. Then, the subsequent reading was 121.3 volts, as expected. This time, that maneuver did not significantly change the reading. I've tried using a different power outlet, a different cord, and tried a new battery in the meter (although I doubted that a new battery would affect the voltage reading, I wanted to check all variables). Again, there was no difference in the reading. A continuity check between the pins of the IEC connector and the E, L, and N terminals showed continuity (zero or low resistance) between the center pin and terminal E, and between the pin to the left of the ground pin and terminal N, and no continuity (reading "OL") between the pin to the right of the ground pin and terminal L. Is it possible that the IEC connector is defective? Do you have any other suggestions? Thank you for any insight that you can offer.
