How many amps does it draw with 12 volts applied to terminals? (My alarm system is rated at 1 amp output and much higher draw may blow its fuse)

I believe it draws just under 1 amp at 12 volts. I am running 4 of them on the property with a 12 volt class 2 transformer. At 6 volts it will pull 1.1 amps.

I used a 10 amp fuse and it worked very well. My amp meter never pulled more than 5.5 amps in any mode. Hope this info helps.

60 amp fuse.. So at full volume it draws at least 30 to 60 amps.. I'm about to get a second one as it does bump for Da price

Hi Mike,If your requirement is for 12 volts and will draw less than 75 watts...you should be fine. I replaced a bad 60 watt with this and it worked for me! Good luck... Jud

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.

Not sure of current draw but it's very minimal. Only uses an 1 amp fuse. Works great!

The wiring is unusually high gauge. I wouldn't run it above 15A which is more than enough for almost ALL 12V plug in items.

Hello. I used mine for a 12V system. I am looking at one of mine that I haven't used yet right now.. there is no rating on it at all! Strange! The terminals on the end are not very big, like for a smaller gauge of wire that would be safe for a relay application but not large enough for 110 house wire. It's actually made pretty nice. So..I'm sorry that I am not much more help. Good luck

I would suggest something mid range like 15 amps but definitely nothing higher than what was on the unit. The reason you blew the fuse was you put to high a load on it. By putting a higher rated fuse, your risking a fire.

If you draw too much current, it will blow the fuse. Otherwise it should run indefinitely.

I personly ran two 10 guage wires based on what I was connecting. it is rated for up to 100 amps on a standard 20' foot run of wire from the batteries to the fuse block You could go a single number 8 or even a number 6 cable run. there is a stud terminal connection so you can fit just about anything on it with a ring connector on the end.Good luck.

I have used a Yuasa 12 volt alarm battery 4 or 7ah to power the transmitter and receiver. You have to utilize the ends similar to the transformer ends with the center being the positive power.

Actually, if you run 2 battery banks @12 volts, you would essentially be combining the two banks into 1. The terminals are tied together so positive/negative terminals on top and bottom are both the same terminal internally. You definitely need to use both terminals along with very large wire in order to provide the high amperage draw from the batteries. I hope this helps!

I used a #10 stranded copper wire THHN is good for 30 amps. I ran a red and black from the charge controller out to the battery terminals. The charger will keep a constant and monitoring voltage for your 12 volt battery. You may want to add a Wattsup to give more information and condition of the process.

I am not for sure what the draw is on the amp. I have it tied into my batter with a toggle switch to turn it off and on. I bought this for my rzr, which is in storage right now. I will try to get out there and take a look at the fuse size for you.

I don't understand what you want to do regarding a standard wall out let. This alarm horn operates on low voltage (12-16 volts) DC. Your wall outlet supplies 120 volts AC. The conventional connection is directly to your alarm system.

It will work just fine as long as you don't draw over .55amps per feed. If you need you can parallel two 12vdc supply circuits..Most components in alarm units will function from 6-18vdc...BE SURE WHAT THE OPERATING VOLTAGE IS REQUIRED FOR YOUR APPLICATION.....
