It says a build in transformer, what is that mean? Can I use a 120v signal to control it? It also mentioned 10VDC max for control

It means that the transformer is built in the unit. The unit will use a 10 volt DC signal to control (turn on and off) the 120 volt line coming from the unit.

No my friend,it is not gonna work.You need at least 10.000w.But as far as i know there is no plug in model for 10.000w transformer.You need need to wiring and professional help.Good luck..

this particular one is a 10-30vdc. So 12Vdc does work. or 20Vdc input. 24vdc, does not matter. Just means that the circuit card inside will take anything from 10vdc, up to 30vdc. They do make a 110VAC version, this is NOT it.

The transformar give you the dirección how to conected, just make sure the power source for the input is 110-120VAC(volt, Alter Current) the out put for this item should be getting 12VDC( volts, Direct Current) if you are connecting an LED make sure your negative and positive are connecting right to make them work other wise just flip the connections.

As long as you wire the 120V inside the wall to the transformer, then you can use low voltage wire from the transformer to anywhere you wish, as the code requires no protection for anything under 24V. (i.e your door bell wire)

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, my seller is not shipping me the Japanese transformer as it is designed for 100V AC not our 120V AC. It probably isn't a problem, but I need to supply my own transformer and while I know the voltage and amperage out, I don't know the diameters of the power connector that plugs into the unit. There are a series of different sized power connectors, and it would be nice to get the correct one the first time.

other than using a transformer adaptive to you supply voltage. I would recomend you contact the manufacture direct to avoid mishaps.

This transformer just makes 12 volts direct current output. Anything (lights, toys, etc.) that needs 12V DC would work fine on this, although I think this power supply can only deliver 150 watts of power--don't try to draw more than that.

I thought about laying down some Ohm's Law, and the (current squared x resistance) heat loss thing, sorry. Lets just say that devising a step-up transformer circuit would be impractical, expensive, and maybe illegal in most jurisdictions. Having a 220/240V - 20 amp receptacle Installed or buying a 110V unit are your only choices.

1 transformer...depending how the switches are set and what set of plugs used, the transformer will either step up 120 to 240 volst or step down 240 to 120 volts....the unit works great in my application. Joe

not unless they changed it in the last year. I bought mine one year ago and the transformer says: "input: 120Vac 60hz 80mAOutput:12vdc 200ma"

That one stumped me too. Nothing in the instructions, although they do mention 12 VDC for that wire somewhere in a diagram. The instructions were horrible, and the thing never powered on. I returned it and got a refund. My suggestion is you do the same.

It should be easily converted. The transformer is external. It can't be drawing very much. Since it is electronic I suspect it is converted to DC inside the unit. I was able to download a manual from the companies website. You might do likewise to confirm it just needs to be fed 18vac, then pick up the correct corresponding transformer off amazon.

mine is the 120 Volt version and if you do have this one then yes you need to get a transformer.

Hello, Look for the wattage on the transformer and then add up the watts on the bulbs. So a 120 watt transformer can have 12 10 watt bulbs or 2 10 watt bulbs and 25 4 watt bulbs etc

I dont believe its regulated, at least I cant find anything on thr transformer that states it is

Won't it work with a transformer? How high is the wattage? There are two kinds of transformers; one is generally used for up to 50 w. Is this under 50 w?
