Note 1: The UCERB 24 monitors the external +9 V power supply voltage with a voltage
supervisory circuit. If this power supply exceeds its specified limit, the PWR LED will turn
off indicating a power fault condition.
External power output

Parameter Conditions Specification
External power output - current
range
4.0 A max.
External power output (Note 2)
Voltage drop between power input and daisy chain power
output
0.5 V max
Compatible cable(s) for daisy
chain
C-MAPWR-x
x = 2 , 3 or 6
feet
Note 2: The daisy chain power output option allows multiple boards to be powered from a single
external power source in a daisy chain fashion. The voltage drop between the module power supply
input and the daisy chain output is 0.5 V max. Users must plan for this drop to ensure the last module
in the chain will receive at least 6.0 VDC.
