What is the current draw for activation? I have a wireless remote swtch that will supply 2 amps.

There is not much draw when turning it on or off. If you wire right from the hot side of the battery with a fuse protection to your switch to the solonoid you won't need any other power source.

It's just momentary power for the solenoid, but a typical inrush current is about 25 amps and then holding current is 10 amps.Again, this is typical of high power solenoids to draw the contactor into place with minimal arcing.Read the comment to the answer about what that schematic is about in another question.DO NOT try and wire this solenoid per that diagram. No matter if it is a latching or standard SI solenoid, that drawing is wrong. Dead wrong.

Do yourself a favor and buy the Intellitec Battery Disconnect Relay or Parallax disconnect.

I interposed the device between the power source and electric plug for the garage door lifter motor and inserted the two wires into the device(hot vs ground)according to careful review of wiring instructions. This arrangement works as an ON/Off switch activated by the preprogrammed remote. My setup worked quite perfectly! Thank you! Pan

Let me try that again. I'm not sure how of the amount of voltage or amps specifically but I can tell you that I use it as the power cord on my Motorola wireless router and it works well enough for me working at home/laptop, my smart tv, and my son playing his PS3/4 all wirelessly. I have Cmcst for my internet provider but ultimately my router is giving us the access, right? Hopefully that can give you an idea of how much juice I'm getting out of it at least. Hope that helps.

It's rated at 2 Amps but only consumes 150 Watts of power so tha actual steady state draw is probably more like 1.25 Amps.

Hi Lynn,This will work! How many Amp of current comes out from the receptacle is base on how much your application will use however, the maximum is 20 Amp from this receptacle.let me know if you have more questions!Tony1-877-267-3711

Nor sure how much current to activate but I set mine up to operate heater on a van so that power was not routed through fuse block and stopped the overheating. That circuit is 12v to run the blower motor, but I don't think it needs that much because it really snaps the relay when I turn on the key.

The unit is 240 Watts. If you are using 12 volts DC for the lights then you will need 20 amps to operate. The formula to figure out the amps is Watts divided by the Voltage.Your remote controller can only handle 6 amps. To bypass this, use a 50 amps 12 volts relay. Switch the relay with the remote and wire the LED bar through the relay from the battery. Make sure you fuse this installation.

10 amps should be ok but I would use a relay just to be safe. It would also save on the life of the relays in the remote and you will be worry free for years.

I have not found any information in Current Capacity for this switch. I would suspect between .75 and 1.5 amps at 120 VAC. I played it safe and have the switch activate a small ice cube relay that needs about 20 milliamps at 120 VAC. I would suggest doing the same.

It comes with a 3 amp power supply. Should be adequate for one wireless device.

I built a harness with a relay and hooked it into a remote fuse block I installed, but with the small amount of amps these led's draw, you don't really need the relay, but I would fuse the circuit!Hope this helps you

This will work perfectly for that application, I did the exact same thing. the device will have a current draw, which will demand less than 1.6 amps, but the power pack will not "force" current. current is drawn, and current draw is determined by the circuit. You are fine.

It is a 195 watt device. So at 110 volt household line that represents a draw of less than 2 amps

You can approximate your UPS requirements by examining the power supply for your hub. This isn't the same as measuring actual power draw (which would be lower). If it's 5V @ 1A as N. Ramon suggests, then you need 5 watts. It is NOT going to be 1A @ 120v as IPPete stated - that's 120 watts which is far too much for an embedded device to require. I assume he misread or made a typo. This will run forever on the smallest UPS. But you'll want to be sure your UPS can also support your cable modem, and wireless router - these use more power (but not much... you can still get away with a small UPS if you need a few hours coverage). If you REALLY want to measure power draw, you want to buy a 'Kill a Watt" outlet device and measure wattage over 2-3 days, then divide by the days. This is totally unnecessary but it's how you know what the power draw is for everything you own.

Don't know. How many connections are at the barn? If 1 or 2 you may need only the access point with the power turned up a little.

Look for the arm wire on the diagram,it should tell you what wire has power when active,an not you take it from there? Good Luck!

No it will only draw power/activate wifi when the vehicle is running or has accessory power on
