That's what I was going to say.  The transformer is spec'ed to be capable of supplying up to 2A, but it will only do that if the device it's powering is drawing that much.  If this is the transformer that came with the device you are powering, then it might draw that much.  However, if you are using a generic transformer, then it's probably not going to pull that much current.

I suppose the only way to know for sure is to either find some documentation for your device or to measure it yourself.  If you have a multimeter, you might be able to figure it out if you can access the power and ground from your device.
