+GCA LocoNet and CAN networks need a  12 Volt dc supply on the Ethernet and/or LocoNet communication network interface.\\
 But with extra long line connections, it might be better to use an extra supply 'on the route'.\\
 Also when too much current is needed for a large number of I/O units, this is  very simple and nice way to solve that.\\
 This simple board enables you to do that without complex connections.\\
-This GCA09 gets 12-15V dc from a separate supply unit.\\
+This GCA09 will enable you to add extra 12-15V dc from a second supply unit.\\
 The board separates the 12V + line between the two SUB-D connectors.\\
+**But it is important NEVER to use one supply for both!**\\
 The now added supply feeds the chain starting from the SUB-D female connector.\\
 The unit can be connected with a standard SUB-D cable, like used between all units, but\\
 can also be placed anywhere, where space is available. No extra cable needed here.\\
