The primary source should have a higher voltage and will prevent the secondary source from suppling power. If the primary dies the secondary will kick in. So if the case is a wall power and battery power, then make sure you tie the grounds together and make sure the wall volatage is higher than the battery voltage.</div><div id="yiv9613004538yui_3_16_0_1_1436877118891_203954"><br clear="none"></div><div id="yiv9613004538yui_3_16_0_1_1436877118891_203954">John Vaughters</div> <br clear="none"><div class="yiv9613004538qtdSeparateBR"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv9613004538yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"> <div class="yiv9613004538yqt3102488867" id="yiv9613004538yqt12357"><div dir="ltr"> <font size="2" face="Arial"> On Wednesday, July 15, 2015 10:14 AM, Dwight Morgan via TriEmbed <triembed@triembed.org> wrote:<br clear="none"> </font> </div> <br clear="none"><br clear="none"> <div class="yiv9613004538y_msg_container"><div id="yiv9613004538"><style>#yiv9613004538 #yiv9613004538 --
