Can I run this off from a AC 115/230V to DC 36V transformer, or will going 2V above the listed voltage damage the diode in the long term?

I'm not sure the long term effects of running over on voltage, however you can add a resistor to bring the voltage down those couple of volts. Another fix is to buy/build a pulse width modulator to control the average voltage. The amperage will be of concern as it too can cause overheating, which will be the main enemy. I'd recommend mounting a small heat sink to the bulb.

the amount of currant that the transformer can deliver is going to have to have a rating above 4 amps or it will not manitain the voltage anyway. most of the little transformers you plug into the wall will make the 36 volts without anything plugged into them but they will drop a few volts when you add a load to them. I would recommend some type of regulated power supply. there are several here on amazon.

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.

You should be able to no problem. Just don't use the small 12v transformer that comes with it.

If i saw the right product then i would give you a big maybe. Unfortunately their product description isnt very descriptive. It looks like it runs through a transformer and i cant say how that will effect things. You could try it and it shouldnt hurt anything, but i cant guarantee anything. Best advice is pick up a model with a regular plug if you want to be sure.

No, by default it doesn't work with 230v, you have to buy transformer or adaptor for that.

It works on 230V directly.You may need to change plug but no need to use step up transformer.I hope this helps.

You may but at your own risk. I believe that may go against your local electrical code since you are mixing two different voltages in the same j box. Plus I think the power supply is DC. I think the best way is to have a power receptacle that is controlled by a wall switch.

11 to 24 VAC or VDC at 53mA current. I am powering mine straight off the secondary of an old 12V transformer I had. The transformer is rated for 200mA and my wire run from transformer to sensors is over 150 feet. I use shielded cable for power and signal (alarm out) and my sensors have been rock solid.

Mine operates at 120 volts. I don't think it's capable of running at 230 volts, nothing in the instructions about wiring for a higher voltage, sorry.

Its a 110 transformer which I would think if you pluged into 220 would burn it out.

The device itself could easily handle higher voltages possibly up to 120VAC but since no testing has been done for such voltages I wouldn't recommend doing it. I personally wouldn't be afraid to use the fuse strip for 24 or 48 VDC but remember that the current rating of the fuses would probably be lower than their stated value as they are designed for 12VDC.

I am assuming you want to use this on 24 volts DC. But what ever system, it will work in 24 volts systems, The DC range is from 0 to 200 volts The AC voltage range is also 0 to 200 volts Just make sure you have the selector switch on the correct units and function that you are measuring.

The transformation ratio is 220/110 = 2 or 240/120 = 2. If your voltage is 230 V, then on the low voltage side you will get 230/2 = 115 V. Most appliances have some tolerance to the input voltage e.g. +- 5%. I would check first the label of the appliance, and if 115 V is within that range, it is safe to use this transformer.

I don't see why not. It has voltage options of 6.0, 7.5, 9 and 12VDC. In your case, I might start out with the 6.0 VDC setting, but probably use the 7.5VDC setting long term. In the big scheme of things 1VDC over or 0.5VDC under isn't all that far off from what you need. YMMV.the only gotcha might be finding the appropriate connector. If it doesn't have the exact connector you need swing by Radio Shack and they will usually have the one you need.

I don't see why not; It's a spring (mechanically) operated switch, so voltage is not a concern and the contacts are rated for 110 VAC @10 A, so 24 VDC should be no problem.

It can run off 120v ac or 12 dc. yes it should fit in the original position

I thought about laying down some Ohm's Law, and the (current squared x resistance) heat loss thing, sorry. Lets just say that devising a step-up transformer circuit would be impractical, expensive, and maybe illegal in most jurisdictions. Having a 220/240V - 20 amp receptacle Installed or buying a 110V unit are your only choices.

No you can't. Operates at 23A (5600W/240V= 23.3A). You will burn down your house. Besides, the unit comes hardwired with a NEMA 6-30R plug which will not fit any 20A socket.
