This is a very versatile item in allowing you to channel DC power to as many as eight (8) different ham radio accessories at the same time. The MFJ-1116 alleviates the problems of multiple connections to the same DC power supply terminals. The main power switch turns the outlets ON and OFF. A 15 amp fuse is used to protect your equipment from excessive power surges. The meter monitors the DC voltage from your power supply. The MFJ-1116 is not a power supply. The output voltage and current of the MFJ-1116 depend on the output voltage and current of the main DC power supply that the MFJ-1116 is connected to.
The MFJ-1116 is capable of handling 15 amps at 12 volts DC. Each set of binding posts should carry a maximum of 5 amps at 12 VDC. Do NOT connect your HF radio to the MFJ-1116. It was designed to supply DC power to your station accessories only. The MFJ-1116 can NOT be used for AC application. The DC output level of each pair of posts is dependent upon the DC level input going into the MFJ-1116. The maximum voltage is 24 Volts DC at 7.5 amps.
