the analog board by 500 V.

DC power supply

24 VDC, 2.5A, positive tip. Use only
the MOHR-approved power supply.

The DC power supply is isolated
from the analog board by 500 V.

Battery pack

12 NiMH AA cells, fused at 2.5 A

Pack may wear out over time.

External battery pack

12 NiMH AA cells, optional

This pack is identical to the
internal pack and may be charged
by the internal battery charger.
