Can this be powered by a 6v DC power supply (I know 5v is recommended)?

You should keep it to 5v so as to avoid burning it out. I do not know if you are using it with an Arduino or not, but the Arduino Mega 2560 can power it via its 5v and gnd connections.

YES you can use a 6v adapter. But if it doesn't get used too much it doesn't really drain battery life. The sensor fyi is battery run only.

Not sure about the 6V. I burned out my Proform recumbent bike controls by using a 12V adapter.

I would think it would not be a problem, anything that requires a 12 volt dc power supply should work as long as it doesn't require more than 10 amps

Not directly, but (just as Ron Coleman suggested) you can using something like this: Schumacher PC-6 120AC to 6A 12V DC Power Converter

This unit will load up to 1.5amp at 10 watts-At 6v you will have more than enough current to satisfy the 500ma-I have bought several of these power supplies for a couple of different custom projects. I wire them directly into circuit boards so i cannot speak to the adapter plugs, however I can speak to the robust construction of the components. I have one that is in service for up to 12 hours at a time and it works well with not problem.

No, it would require a voltage adapter. Or a separate power supply. The unit is able to accept either 18v dc 800ma or 110v ac, but does not come with the dc power supply.

Can use a 6V 1000mA AC adapter, but not included. Uses 4 AA alkaline batteries. Batteries last a long time.

it needs a minimum 500w power supply with a minimum 12 volt current rating of 38 amps.Don't just get the minimum, get at the least 600w, more if you can afford it.

No, unless you plan to supply it 12 volts DC, you will need to buy a convertor that should be available on Amazon

"Powered by DC 12V 500mA adaptor (not included)"So any 12v adapter, that provides 500ma (0.5a) or more will do.

Look on the label on the bottom of your unit. Power: DC6V 800mA That is the actual power needed for this unit. 6 volts of direct current rated at 800 miliamps.

No, it's 110 power supply. You would need to buy a universal converter or adapter for it.

Mine is hooked to a 12v system, but I can't say for sure if it will function on 5v. I would guess no, but I've been wrong before. The innovative website might have some specs.

The power supply is rated for 100-240VAC 50/60Hz 0.6Amp so you should not have a problem.

Not likely, without an appropriate adapter. The power adapter provided only supports 110V current.

Not to my knowledge. You need a 2 wire connection with an RCA cable (RG59 or RG6, or MINI RCA) in addition to a 12v power supply.
