Long & McQuade doesn't carry them anymore. They told me they aren't importing them anymore because they aren't CSA approved. You can get them online from US retailers, but those are the only places I've found so far.

I paid for 3 in October, and they called me in late March to come get a refund.

Thanks for all the info everyone...guess it's gonna be harder to find one than I thought

Anyone know why they aren't CSA approved?

Anyone have any suggestions for something similar? Hopefully something available locally would be great

Thanks,

Joe

It costs the company money to get the inspections and approvals. Many companies don't bother with the Canadian market.

American DJ is a pretty large company, surely they'll take the time and effort to get the CSA approval. I spent 1/2hr at L&M today chatting with a tech in rentals and he believes it's to do with the thickness of the housing... Their system says "do not order, not CSA approved"
It would've been nice to get a phone call! Been waiting for about a month and a half...

There are a couple other 8 channel switched power supplies on EBay that are basically identical to the ADJ PC-100. If you choose the PS9U keep in mind that the plugs on the back are closer together making your options for what can be plugged in beside each other difficult. I'd stick with 8 channel or less. Myka had brought this up fairly recently in another thread

Maybe, maybe not. It's just one product. They wouldn't be the first large company not to bother with us Canadians. Most of our aquarium equipment is not CSA approved either. Take a boo.
