VPI SDS use question

I recently made several upgrades to my Scoutmaster and now have an SDS. I've got everything set up and running, but just had a question about the operation of the SDS. When the SDS is on, but the table is off, the voltage is steady at 72. When I turned the table on and set it to 33 RPM, the voltage jumps to 84. Changing to 45 RPM makes the voltage increase to 102. I just wanted to make sure this was normal operation as I'm not familiar with the SDS and the manual (like most VPI manuals) isn't very clear.

I'll have to check when I get home, but I think I've seen the SDS display 115 on start up. Then it ramps down to 72 after the start up sequence is complete. If I turn the table on and set it to 33, it ramps up to 84. I only used the SDS briefly this weekend as I had family in from out of town. I'll try to give it a full work out this evening to see if it drops the voltage back down to 72 after getting the platter up to speed.

Thanks for your input. When I turn the SDS on, it does start at 115 and then drops to 72 after a few seconds. I printed out the calibration manual and when I got home, I looked at my settings and my SDS was set to 84 for 33.3 and 102 for 45. My software version looks to be 1.1 so I reset the corresponding speeds to their factory default of 72 and 90. I also have a KAB strobe. My 33.3 setting is 59.83 and my 45 setting is 80.80. I'm still gotta fine tune my settings, but things look pretty spot on.
