ELI Family. In general, any 12VDC power supply with a 2.1mm center positive plug will be acceptable if it can provide enough current to power the particular ELI unit being used. On the ELI101-CPW plug power into the (P2) connector. Copyright ©2021, 3/3/2021 Future Designs, Inc. - Page 9 J6 connector (PCB terminal block - PTSM 0,5/ 2-2,5-H SMD WH R24 – 1814634) can be found at http://tinyurl.com/1814634. To verify that the ELI101-CPW unit is correctly powered you may check the input voltage with a Fluke multi-meter or scope by probing the +12V and GND contacts shown below. Please verify that the input voltage is present, and within the +/- 5% tolerance and is free from excessive noise or AC ripple.
