Emax

Most electronic equipment is designed for specific
components in the system.  I would not recommend you
try to adapt the unit since you are not taking into
consideration things such as ripple/noise.  The long
term effects of foreign equipment into the system.  My
advise is to make it simple.  Enclose the external
powersupply into the emax unit.  Tap into the line
current (before it enteres the Emax P/S).  Mount it
inside, this way you only have one plug without
tapmering with the Emax's DC currents.
