Do I need to buy a 12v DC outlet to use this unit? Or how to use the power source? I cannot see the picture clearly.

Plugs into a car cigarette lighter. The unit is smaller than it appears, and seems useful primarily for small tires/tubes or balls and toys. I must have a blown seal because mine doesn't pump up past about 33 psi after about a year of use.

As it comes No, you need to buy a 110v to 12v converter and then u can use it

Austin,I used this unit integrated into an alarm unit for a friend, but as I remember it is has a dc power jack on it for the 12 volt output. It also includes a dc power cable with female connectors on each end. One end plugs into the power jack, the other end will plug into whatever you to operate. You will need a matching male dc power plug, which can be purchased at Radio Shack etc. Hope this helps,Jack

More correctly, no, the unit requires 12 volts DC. However, you can buy a wall wart on Amazon or eBay that will do the job. You'll want one with an OUTPUT stated to be 12 vdc (volts DC), and 2 amps or greater. You'll have to connect the power supply wires to the monitor wires yourself.

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.

the unit is hardwired. you should know what you are doing or hire an electrician. you can connect a power cord and connect it to a plug, I would always recommend using a three wire setup that includes a ground.

I do not use it this way. I only use it in my house with the provided AC to DC converter. Per information on the unit, the power required is 12 volt DC at approximately 1 amp .

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

it requires a DC power source. If you want to use AC power you will have to convert it to DC.

Out of the box it is only 12 volt DC. You need to purchase an adapter to connect to 120 volt AC.

The unit is supplied with a transformer that has an output of 12 volts DC. It does not come packaged with a power adapter for direct 12 volt DC hookup, but you could easily make one. The plug would be the same as the one on the transformer output with the other end being a cigarette lighter automobile type connection or whatever other connection to the 12 volt source you would be using. I do not see any reference to a 12 volt connection in the owners manual, but I see no reason why it could not be done. Just be sure you connect it with the correct 12 volt DC polarity. Or do what the other commentor said. Get an inverter. The unit is supplied with a transformer that has an output of 12 volts DC.

You would need the AC to 12 volt DC adapter. It can't be used with a normal 120 or 240 volt AC outlet on its own.

This device produces 12 volts of DC electricity. If you need 12 volts of DC and do not exceed the amp rating of the unit, it should work.

we bought this from amazon and it came with the power source. you have to have the power source

You need to buy the adapter listed. I plug mine in all the time to keep things cool Here is the link Koolatron Multi-Purpose Adapter 110AC to 12 Volts DC ( Model AC-16)

The power source is 120 VAC. There is no provision on the device for powering it with DC/Battery.

This is not a good option, I'm sorry. I suggest looking for a 10watt 12v panel that discloses the actual specifications of the unit. The output voltage is undisclosed and I had very irregular performance.Hope this helps...good luck.
