 The ezeio shall be powered from a DC (Direct Current) source, such as a AC/DC adapter, power supply or battery. Use only supplied or recommended power supplies with the ezeio.

 //Note; the above power consumption does not include any external connections.//
 The ezeio will start operating as soon as power is applied. There is no power switch. The ezeio is designed to stay powered at all times. There are no moving mechanical parts or anything that causes wear on the hardware. It generates very little heat. There is no need for ventilation.
-The power can be connected either via the DC Barrel jack on the top of the unit, or on the screw terminal. Do not supply power from more than one source at the same time.
+**Feeding power to the ezeio** - The power can be connected either via the DC Barrel jack on the top of the unit, or on the screw terminal. Do not supply power from more than one source at the same time.
+**Supplying power to sensors and peripherals** - The terminals in the middle, marked 'Supply ,200 mA, +V' and +5 are designed to supply power to connected sensors and peripheral devices. If the ezeio is powered from the DC barrel jack, the screw terminals marked Batt, < 500 mA, '+V' can be used to route power to other devices as well. Please be careful to not overload the power supply. Do not load the 'Batt' output with more than 500mA. Do not load the 'Supply' terminal with more than 200mA.

+Only the Supply +5 & +V terminals are protected with resettable fuses that will limit the output to about 200mA. There is no fuse on the Batt +V terminal. Overloading this terminal could damage the ezeio. If your sensors require more than 200 mA or you are unsure of their current draw, bypass the ezeio's circuitry and directly connect them to an adequate power supply.
