Introduction The Extr on PS 124 is a high performance, plenum rated (with optional Flexible Conduit kit), 12 VDC power supply . The autoswitchable 100 V AC to 240 V AC input can supply a maximum curr ent of 4 amps for up to eight outputs. Each DC output is on a two-pole captive scr ew connector , with no per -output curr ent limitation. T wo-tone LEDs on the fr ont and rear panels indicate normal operation (green) and overload condition (red). The rack mountable PS 124 has a 1U high,
