CA-115 & CA-116 Power Cable Connections
Multiple units running on a common power supply can be daisy-chained together with CA-115 power
cables.
The optional CA-116 power cable permits the system to be plugged into a vehicle’s cigarette lighter, for use
with the vehicle’s battery.
Daisy-Chain of Power, Signal Control, and Signal Expansion
The DC current source must be sufficient units that are daisy-chained for power.
The CA-115 cable and 5-pin DIN connector are rated at 5 Amps maximum load.
