back to top	* ASTM recognizes air watts as air power and is defined as "above the floor cleaning potential." Maximum amps refer to the potential amount of current if the power unit is running in a stand-alone situation. (no tubing or accessories attached). Average amps refer to the actual amount of current used when the power unit is in typical operation (installed, with accessories attached). * ASTM draft F11.50.07 test method was used to determine dB_A ratings. Sound levels were measured at 6' from the power unit. All power units were exhausted outdoors.
