I want to wire mine up to 240 volts on the outside so that if a tweaker tries to disable it, he will get a nice shock. Has anybody tried this?

If a tweeker is going to think that he can walk up and disable it, then it is useless anyway. Unfortunately, there is a minimum IQ for a deterrent to work.

that will kill any live stock when they touch and stuck there, you really want to do this?

Hi, the output is limited to whatever the input power is. Example: 12 volts @ 20 amps is 240watts total available power. If you convert it to 24 volts, you only have 10 amp outpue minus whatever the conversion draws. You can't get power out of things air. Make sure to use additional heatsinks as these are rated 150 watts max. Good luck!!

I used a variac and was able to go above in voltage by 1-3 volts. The amps were able to reach 2.88 without issue as well, the heat that is generated is concerning.

I have mine in a camper at 12 volts. It gets quite hot but the fixture also has a 110 volt bulb for campground use so it is quite large. 24 volts might blow the L E D's or create excessive heat. You could put a resistor in the line and drop the voltage to 12 volts. That is what I would do.

I would contact the manufacturer, American DJ, and ask the technician. But I would assume with any electronic device that runs on 120v ac, one would need a converter to change to 240 volts.

Keith, my husband does not recommend 240 volts. Ours are plugged into a 120 outlet and they definitely work. We have a Florida winter home and since we've used these the roaches are gone.

I don't believe you can set the cut off that high. I think it will be closer to 13 volts at the highest level.

We have this, and we plug it I to a regular 110 outlet and have no problem. Great tool!

Not really. I use it to set the gains on my amps, but you'd just know where the knob is at where it clips, not how much power it's putting out. Get a pair of multimeters and set one to ohms and one to volts and do some simple math.

Hi. I can only assume that your question is due to the country you live in. If so, i must admit that i bought a power step up and step down box. This was to make sure that if I got the voltage wrong, it would not matter. It was the safest way. The actual tool works perfectly.

There is no indication in the owner's manual or specifications that it will work at 240 volts. Ordinarily, if a power unit could do that, it would not only be mentioned, it would be a selling point. So I would say no, it doesn't work at 240.The design seems to be specifically for the U.S. market, including the style of the power cord (3 prong). A direct connection to a 3 prong grounded outlet IS required for this unit to work correctly. Not doing so voids the attached equipment warranty.

The one that I have is 110/120 only. You would need a converter, (available) to operate it on 240 volts.

Mine is working on 110v, but not sure if it will handle 240, as I am not at my house to check.

Amplifier is of the 70 volt type - so if the load Sp1 + Sp2 + Sp3 + Sp4 in wattage, do not exceed wattage of amp (240 W) & are of the 70 volt type it should be fine. I always try to keep load less than max load of amp. Good Luck.

I looked at the instructions for you and it doesn't say anything about working in a 240 volt environment at all. My guess is that it would not.

I have the same issue with one of my switches, it is ON all the time, have seen similar comments, it appears to be a common failure with these units. With that said I view it as an inconvenience not a safety issue. The output is only 12V and as long as each individual output is protected (as described) then each one should trip if it gets shorted or overloaded. However to be safe I would unplug the whole unit anytime you mess with the output wiring.

See! I shipped about three units of mine to Uganda where we are doing some community work and guess what? they use 240volts and it works perfectly. It is actually universal power supply, so you need not worry. The only thing about this great device is that don't let it fall down hard on a solid floor as the driver may unmount, that happened to me as I was using them on speaker stands but fixed with the help of my Aradite glue. Ok! bye for now
