<div><div>In a nutshell, some of the terminals are shorted together.</div><div><br></div><div>So one block is IN+, IN+, IN-, IN-. And the other block is OUT+, OUT+, OUT-, OUT-. The center four terminals are redundant.</div>
<div><br></div><div>That's what I thought from the start but it wasn't mentioned in documentation (the four unlabeled terminals) so I wanted to hear it from the vendor before I started guessing. It took a lot of messages and time to get the communication done. He kept referring me to documentation and evading my specific questions (wording things ambiguously and stuff and was a little rude).</div>
<div><br></div><div>If it works, I wanted to order a bunch of them for my projects but the whole support thing just left a bad taste in my mouth. </div><div><br></div><div>Had the vendor simply answered my question clearly in the first message, I'd have had the product tested when I sat down. But after an hour of farting around, I put it on the shelf and moved onto another project.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Perhaps next week I'll take another look at it. We'll see what happens.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br>

I thought the site looked familiar.<br><br>I certainly couldn't figure out that powersupply. You'd expect something like that to have 2 inputs and 2 outputs. I'm still not sure how a 4x4 powersupply would work.<br>
