[time-nuts] Optimal Meanwell for a Trimble Thunderbolt (RT-65B)

[skipp isaham]

Hello to the Group, trying to help a friend get a Trimble Thunderbolt 
GPSDO, back in to service. The real question I want to ask... is there 
an optimal/most practical Meanwell AC Triple Output +12V, -12V & 5V 
power supply? ... by model number (please)?

I prefer to only use Meanwell if given a choice (and no other easy 
option) for this specific application. Jameco has the RT-65B Power 
Supply available, Triple Output 5V 5A 12V 2.8A -12V 0.5A 65W   I'm sure 
there are other decent sources, right now we're trying to zero in on the 
smallest Meanwell power supply, adequate for the job.

My major concern with using the RT-65B is that I don't yet know the 
Thunderbolt's -12V (negative) current requirement.  If 500mA is enough 
to operate the unit, we'll be well on our way to having this unit on line.

Thank you in advance for your replies.

cheers
