Power supply requirements

Existing Power Supply:
The unit can be connected directly to high-end computer power supplies. At the time of release, we have validated in our labs the Enermax Galaxy 1K power supply.

Auxiliary power supply:
"Meanwell S320-12" power supply, rated for 25A at 12 Volts. Voltage is adjustable up to 13.8V.

Notes:

The only difference between the -775T and -939T models is which mounting plate it uses. The actual TEC-block is identical. The Meanwell S-320-12 is rated for a voltage adjustment of ± 10% which means the maximum should be 13.6V, not 13.8V. The highest voltage I measured with a multimeter was 13.56V, which tallies with the 10% and 13.6V specification on Meanwell's own product page.
