Unit Power Options
7500 Series 4 and 8-port encoders/decoders may be powered in one of
two ways: using individual power supplies or with an optional 200W power
brick (DVT-PWR-200W) and 4-unit wiring harnesses (DVT-WH-4U).

Up to six (6) encoders/decoders may be powered by a power brick via two

4-unit wiring harnesses. Each 4-unit wiring harness may be connected to
only three (3) 7504/7508 units.

Note: Each wiring harness contains an 8A fuse.

Warning: Do not use 10-unit wiring harnesses (DVT-WHK-10UB)

7504/7508 units. These harnesses are designed for the 7501, 7502, and
7601 units, which have a reversed power connector orientation.
