[*] Question about MTS Cold Loops

[LES.NET (1996) INC.]

Put a volt meter on it... or if your brave enough, just grab the wires, it
doesnt hurt that much (and only if it rings).

I think you would have to disconnect the wires, as they may be shorted.

Either way, I dont think theres any real risk in connecting stuff to it.
