12v adaptor for Humax 1100 HDR box (1 Viewer)

[Stonemags76]

hi all
Getting confused with available 12v adaptor for our new Humax box which requires a 4 amp output. Do you think something like this would work.
Amazon product ASIN B0039LQRYUAny other suggestions? Have found several with 2 amp output, but not 4 amp. Thanks!

Minimum output voltage = 15v
May be too high for a 12v unit.

Why not simply run it on 12v leisure battery, 230v mains charger will keep the battery charged on hookup.

 

[pappajohn]

Looking at the data label, how many watts is the humax ?

The proper 230v power supply is a regulated 12v DC output.....any higher voltage will/may cause damage.
All you need is a 12v voltage stabilised lead....amperage via that is immaterial.

Try a search for

Amperor ADP-90DC-12 12V Voltage Stabiliser

The mains lead has a transformer on it which we use at home. We can use it via an inverter in the van, but would like to be able to plug into 12v. It says 4 amp on the transformer, and all the adaptors I’ve found are only 2 amp. I tried searching for
Amperor ADP-90DC-12 12V Voltage Stabiliser On eBay & Amazon with no luck.

Thanks for trying to help though! Much appreciated!

Is this any good looks like 12 volt 5.0 amps

Thanks, but I don’t think it will fit, and I’m not sure if 5 amps is too much?

It is upto 5 amps.

An appliance will only take what amps it needs and no more regardless of what's available.
Think LED lights.....far less than 1 amp needed but the leisure battery can provide over 100 amps.

Have a look at the TV plug on your mains supply and try to measure the outside and inside the hole if it's a tube type connector.
If it's the same as 100brians link that will work.
If it's a different size plug you can buy adaptors to change the size.

Here you are.....regulated power supply at Roadpro.
Bottom of the page text explains size adaptors and their code for ordering.
