Title: GX4000 in the US
Post by: eebuckeye on 01:49, 29 February 16
Hi..

I want to buy a GX4000.  What are the specs of the power supply I would need to buy to work in the US with 120V?

Thanks!

I can't remember the particulars for the GX4000, but the range will need to extend down to 110v. So, for example 100-250v will be OK, whereas 220-250v will not. There is no real risk of damage; equipment mis-used in this way will simply not work - probably won't even have enough. I'm sure I sold a GX to someone in Canada, he didn't mention anything, but always worth checking the details on the AC Adapter before attempting such a thing. check the label and you may find it says "Input 100-240v 50-60Hz" all you need to worry about then is a plug adapter.

I've just checked, you'll need a step up adapted i.e. Transformer, otherwise you'll just get static on the screen.

You need regulated DC 9V,  750mA minimum, positive on centre pole, 5.5m x 2.1m.
It should be quite easy to fins as it's the requirement for the popular arduino boards.
