Intelliflo Power Consumption During Idle

I just installed a brand new Intelliflo (011018) pump.
When I measured the power consumption using efergy power monitor (with all other circuits turned off), I measured about 120 watt when running at 1000 rpm and 100 watts when idle/stop. The power consumption during idle is what concerning. The 100 watt seems excessive for the electronics. Has anyone measured it for the same model (011018) or could provide the number for comparison?
Someone over at TFP forum suggested that Pentair switching power supply causes incorrect power reading during idle and the power consumption is under 5 watt during idle.

The bottom line is that I just want to make sure that I don't have defective unit.
