QUESTION
How much power can the 24 V output on the GP4 or GP8 supply?
ANSWER
130 mA max at 24 V.
If you are drawing the full 130 mA the battery will probably only last about (very roughly) 2 hours. It will operate indefinately if plugged into the mains with the GP power pack, but make sure that the instrument has adequate ventilation so that it does not overheat.
To illustrate: if you have 6 digital gauges that require 24V supply, each gauge should not draw more than 23 mA @ 24 V to avoid overloading the GP.
