BF series Paddle controllers CONFIGURATION OPTIONS OUTPUT OPTIONS The BF Series Paddle is configured as two “electrical” controls in one mechanical package. The Paddle operates from 5V and provides two proportional outputs. The second output is accurate to the first within +/-3% of the power supply. The power supply for the secondary output is also completely independent. Customers may choose their preference of voltage outputs (gains).
