Another good suggestion, many thanks. Never even thought that was an option. So would this also work on battery backup? I assume so as the input to the booster is from the output on the PSU which remains powered during battery backup. I assume this would drain the backup battery quicker though.
That's great idea. I'll try that but it looks like I'll be buying a new PSU for this. I was just hoping to use the battery backup for the maglock but it's not a security issue so not essential.
That's what I feared might happen which is why I haven't tried it yet!
Each output is protected by it's own resettable PTC so not sure if that would offer any protection from doing any damage by trying it?
I have a 9 output CCTV PSU wall mounted supply. I have several spare outputs and need to run a maglock rated at 24v DC 250ma. Each output on the PSU is rated at 12v DV 2A.
Can I link two outputs in series to output 24v DC?
