7. Power supply

Connect the Receiver to the power supply with the Power

adapter and cord provided.

The Transmitter receives its power from the connected

computer and does not generally need an external power supply.

Transmitters need an external power supply. Use a Minicom

Power adapter p/n 5PS20025. The power supply specifications

are: Regulated 6VDC 2 Amp, minus on internal pin .

Cascading is discussed on page 16.
