POWERING Powering The QFMN device operates with an external class 2 transformer (ATX model: #951, 120VAC to 26VAC, 60 Hz, 50 VA). Alternately an external universal power supply (ATX model: EPS 267-ND, 100-240VAC to 24VDC) is available for requirements other than typical 110VAC installations. AC powering is accomplished by connecting the terminals of the #951transformer (or alternate EPS 267-ND universal power supply) at the terminal block located on the underside of the QFMN device.
