HC-8 power inputs

Simple question, but I can't find the answer in the docs or by searching the forum.

What is the maximum wattage @12vdc thru each of the 3 possible power inputs on the HC-8 (barrel connector, oem pads, +V and ground)?

I am running a maximum of 8 solenoid valves, each with a draw of 250ma, for a potential of 2 amps. I know generally the barrel connectors are only rated for 1 amp.

I apologize, I did not apparently read thoroughly enough. It is the last line of the technical specs.

"When using more than 1A (total) for outputs power must be connected to V+/GND terminal block (J)."

It wouldn't let me delete my own post, so I just posted my own answer.

Thanks.
