Hi Robin

For my EM200 Temma II, I use a similar unit from Jaycar, a PowerTech 24V 1.8A regulated switched mode power supply, plastic enclosed case. I think I once measured the current draw when tracking and it came in around 0.3A and when slewing, this went up to approx. 0.9A.

I also label all my mains adapters whether centre +ve or –ve to prevent night time fumbling destroying wrong polarity equipment.

For those mains adapters supplied with multiple removable tips (2.1mm, 2.5mm, etc), when I fit the correct tip to the end of the cable, I tape the body of the tip to the end plug, just to avoid any wrong polarity issues.

Cheers

Dennis

EDIT:
At 24V;
Sidereal tracking was approx. 0.3A
Slewing was approx. 0.9A

(I previously quoted my Vixen GPDX mount measurements by mistake)

Cheers
