I want to plug into an electric wall socket that is triggered by my alarm. What type of 12v adapter do I need to use? Will a 12v charger for a cordl

I didn't know what kind of power was required; I hadn't installed it; my plan at the time of my purchase to use it was faulty. However, I decided today to make some measurements on the siren. What I found was that the siren required AC power; it wouldn't work on DC although at the beginning I thought it did for a moment.??? Applying 12 volts AC makes an adequately loud sound at that voltage, the pitch of which was related to the 60 cycle AC power. It wouldn't start sounding until the voltage got above about 9 volts. I raised the voltage to 18 VAC for a minute; the sound was a little louder and the unit withstood the higher voltage. The AC current it drew at 12 volts was 0.11 amperes. That is a power of about 1.3 Watts; not much. A small size charger with 12volt AC output will be adequate.

The alarm has exposed wires, no plugs. Setting this up with an adapter would require some creativity and would probably be a fire hazard. You could make it work but there are better solutions for an interior alarm.

Neither. It's 12VDC and doesn't have a jack for a wall adapter. You have to direct wire it to a 12VDC source. But that shouldn't be a problem because you have to wire the sensor wires back to an alarm panel anyway. So you can just use a standard two-pair alarm cable for both power and sensing. If you just want a standalone CO detector, there are numerous simpler and less expensive devices at most home improvement stores.

We bought a charger that plugs into an outlet...check out interstate battery store or sears

I found a universal adapter on ebay. Works great!They come with a variety of size plugs. So I'm set no matter whatvoltage is needed for devices.

Yes it will work with a 12volt battery but you don't need to buy one or an adapter with this unit b)c it has a plug into the wall cord.

Read the USB wall pack's voltage input range. If it is ends up being only 110/120VAC 60Hz, then you can use another comparable output USB charger (amperage needs to be equal to or higher than the supplied pack).The USB side of things is not an issue, as 5VDC is the USB standard, so a wall adapter with USB charging ports on it will work just fine, so long as it is able to supply enough current (amps).The wall adapter is relatively inconsequential and equivalent ones made for your power grid are easily found if this one ends up not supporting your power grid.

You could use an SW-433 and plug in a 12VDC at about 1.5 Amps power supply that would run a regular security siren.And you could run the 12 VDC 2 conductor wire out side to the siren. ( and keep the 120VAC inside the house).I actually have a 12 VDC power supply turned on when triggered by a alarm signal. The alarm signal goes to a relay board that turns on the 120 VAC to the 12VDC power supply and the 2 sirens are powered by it. Takes a load off the alarm board.

Any 12 V charger will work. I like the Schumacher brand if you don't mind paying a little more.

You need to find a AC adapter which output voltage is 12.5V, output current is 2.5A. Go to the market to find one.

If all you need is a cord, you can buy the plug and wire at Radio Shack. Look at the charger rating for your unit if you need the wall transformer too. This puts out 12 volts at 3 amps or 36 watts. Don't try to use it on a piece of equipment that requires more amps!

Dear Randy C.,When you say charging plug for this 12V Booster PAC, do you mean the AC/DC Adaptor Class 2 Power Supply? The adaptor comes with this Booster Pac, but Amazon also sells dozens of these. This adaptor is used to recharge the Booster PAC. When looking for a replacement adaptor, you want to make sure it is the correct one. This adaptor reads: AC/DC Adaptor Class 2 Power Supply. Input: 120V-60 Hz 30W. Output: 18V=500mA. I hope this helps you. Maren

I used this siren to replace one that had gone bad on a Honeywell Ademco 20P hard wired alarm system. I believe that the siren/bell hookup was 12v DC on the alarm contacts. This did not require me to install any separate adapter. The siren works very well on my system.

Just a standard 12v adapter. You can use any 12v Power supply. I used one from an old cable modem. Most 12v plugs use the same male connector.

As far as I know you would just need an outlet adapter. I've read that'll be all you need. Hope that helps!

do you have a version of this hub that has or can support at least 12V and (4A or greater amperage) or do I need to buy just the power adaptor that can support at least 12V and (4A or greater amperage)

Cigarette Lighter Socket Charger Outlet Adapter 100V AC to 12V DC.You can find one on E-Bay

There is an "Input DC 12 volt" plug-in that then connects to a wall outlet. There is also a USB port called "Output:5V."
