Use a 5–30 VDC external power supply for the output channels.
The power supply must provide enough current to power all of the
loads on the output channels, up to 1.5 A per channel.

Connect the
external power supply to multiple V and V
SUP
terminals and to
multiple C and COM terminals as needed to ensure that the
maximum current through any terminal is 2 A or less.
Install a 2 A maximum, fast-acting fuse between the external
power supply and the V
SUP
terminal on each channel. Install
a 1.5 A maximum, fast-acting fuse suitable for the load at the
V
OUT
terminal. Figure 3 shows fuses where appropriate.
