Does this come with a power cord? How do you hook up a 12 volt dc item to it?

No power cord. I believe it comes with a wiring diagram, but look on the web as ther's more than one way to wire it. Also, the manual that comes with it is for another model-- a bit confusing trying to set up the functions. Works great once you've figured it out...

No, you'll need to buy a 12 VDC adaptor but they're only about $6 from here, or Ebay. On the back of the unit, there are hookups that you just insert the bare wire from the 12 Volt supply, and lock them in with a screw. These come with a temperature sensor too. I've had other units that work well but I like this one better because the settings buttons are far apart, so you don't have to squeeze two fingers in a tight spot to set up parameters. I use these for temp control for my brewing, and I like the idea of having only 12 Volts near liquids, not 120V........for safety. Good luck!

Now that I've looked at the product, I remember. The wires will hook up as Tinkerguy notes below. Just put the wire into the hole and screw the screw in and it holds the wires firmly. So basically, you just need to strip the end of the wires from your 12V supply bare and put them in.

Does NOT come with a 12V DC adapter. However, when connected to your computer USB port, the adapter is not necessary.

Yes I got mine with a power cord. The only trap for me was that the converter box has a button to turn charging on and off, so at first I thought it was broken until I noticed the button.

It does not come with a power supply. You will need to provide 120VAC to the unit. There are several ways this could be done, but I took an extension cord and cut off the female side hard wiring it to the unit. Then I just the plugged the male end into an outlet.

Yes, it does, AC and DC power cord included. I have it over two years and still works great.

NO, it does NOT come with the power cable. I just received my shipment and the cord was not in the box. I am now on the hunt for the power cord.

It has a power cord. I had to install a outlet in my RV under a bed near the location it fits in to use it.

There is no AC power cord for this. It runs on 2 D batteries and that is your only option as far as power goes.

It has plug-ins for DC but I don't remember it coming with an adapter. If it did, I cannot find it. I use it in the garage, so it's plugged into the AC outlets. Sorry I cannot help you.

No, it actually comes with a power cord. You connect the cord to the bottom of the front of the device and plug it into the wall. I prefer it to battery powered.

It comes with a power cord and USB cord. Everything that's needed to hook it up is included.

Yes it had a power cord. Appears to be a well made product. I don't know it sounds, as the only way for me to turn it on would have been to first buy a remote controller.

Yes, it does need a power source and comes with the cord. Probably would not work for you. It is a nice little unit though.

I haven't try it w/12VDC but... it does have the connector for DC on the side.

The one that I ordered came with an AC cord, I don't think it came with a DC cord. However, I had a DC cord that I bought at Radio Shack for the portable TV that this unit replaced.

Oh yeah, I forgot... It doesn't come with a power cord, but uses batteries. You can get an after market power cable, but it introduces a hum into headphones when watching TV.

you have to make up the power cord it runs off of your 12 volt power supply
