Abstract
A wall mounted power supply for a remote instrument handle has a novel self compensating voltage regulating circuit that remains in precise calibration despite variable voltage drops in the load, cabling, and control switches. Power output is enabled by an infrared emitter-detector combination disposed in the device's cradle that senses the absence of the instrument handle therein.
