* The Total Combined Current refers to the current that will be drawn from the external power supply to supply the Input Expander and any devices connected to the Expander's outputs. The Auxiliary outputs are directly connected via electronic fuses to the N+ N- input terminals, and the maximum current is governed by the trip level of these fuses.
