[slinkelist] Slinke Adapter Max Voltage Question...

Hi Colby,

I know that the Slinke Adapter supplies 9 VDC and that the casing suggests
the same,

However I'm going to set my automation system up in a 19" rack environment
and therefore would prefer to use my normal "PC" power supply - 5 and 12
VDC.

I believe you use an 7805 voltage regulator, which normally accepts a
maximum of 35 VDC, so I was wondering if connecting the Slinke to the 12 VDC
(PC Power supply) would be a problem...

Thanks,

Jeroen

PS> Kudos to David on handling the Treasy situation. I've been a Customer
Services/ Technical Support Trainer/Consultant for years and David would
definitely be regarded top of class. Our ranking based on this case would be
9.5 or in US standards A-
Which we see rarely in the industry!
Its a good thing he is so valuable to this community and that I love your
products so much, else I would probably have hired him away from you ;-)
