Title: Dynamis 36505 power supply
Post by: wjameson on November 20, 2010, 03:10:01 PM
I am looking at purchasing a Dynamis 36505 system off eBay from a US supplier. Te only problem is that we have 240 volt power here in New Zealand. Can anyone who has this setup advise me if the power supply is switchable, automatically detects the power source or do I have to get a NZ compatible power supply/transformer. I have read through the on-line manual and it wasn't able to provide any assistance.

Cheers

Many thanks for the quick response - may look at a local supplier instead - price difference will probably disappear if I have to get another power supply etc.

Thanks again

wj-

You can also get a step-down power converter which will change your 220v wall power to 110v.  Those are widely available in many capacities at reasonable prices.

The UK sourced Dynamis is supplied with a 100 - 240VAC switching power supply with a 16VDC @ 2.3A output.

I have ordered 2 sets from UK ( living in Canada, Toronto). They came with universal voltage input and switchable AC plug types.
Because these switching power supplies had some problem working here at 120V, ( sometimes I had problem with communication and I sourced it from power supplies), I ordered some power supply from e-bay. What is important, that is 16V, 2A or more. You can buy in local electronic shop exact connector for DC input in your Dynamis and solder it on. My problems disappeared with PS change. I am sure supplied Dynamis PS will come with US type plug, but power supply should be universal voltage input. Even if not, order one quality PS from e-bay ( for lap top etc.) and it will work for sure. I think my PS from e-bay came from Australia, some overstock medical unit. Price is mostly 10$ or so.
