4 month old unit all of a sudden,it has wrong voltage reading which caused me to misdiagnose.(Embarassing)On 220V AC reads 122V /12V DC reads 8V.,BAD?

That doesn't make any sense? And it could be impedence not the meter. Get a wiggy to test out high impedence circuits. Make sure you are selecting the correct voltage type on the wheel! There are two types per selection

Mine read just at 12V when received so I didn't charge any more before installing in alarm system. It is working fine.

These are multi voltage units. Do you have the correct voltage setting? Sounds like you don't.

Yeap, definitely 120V. My country does not have this voltage too, and i am using the step down converter to 240V. No issues after 4 months now. :)

I have this AC, plugged into a standard U.S. household outlet. I have no idea what my voltage is. There's a good discussion here about voltage ratings: http://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/showthread.php?t=3320

Buy a recent and does not work and I have 220v , someone could help me I can do ?

Honestly I would just give up and run to an airport or train station and buy a new one from another company. As I said in my review, even when mine was in converter mode, if didn't limit the power like it should. It fried one device, but luckily everything else was dual voltage. If your things are dual voltage, my next question would be are you using it worn an extension cord or power strip, because it doesn't like those. Just make SURE your stuff is rated for the higher volts and plug them straight in.

I agree that you need to check the voltage and most 12v house systems are 12vac not 12vdc. I wouldn't do it.

I spoke with an electrician....the 120 volt replaced the 110 but it's the same. Yes , you should have no problem!

my one's voltage is 120, cause it's American's standard. Possible for another country voltage is 220 or 240.

My husband said too much voltage - not good - would have to ask electrician in regard to your question - it is set up for regular 110 voltage - sure wouldn't want to even think of plugging it into a 220.

can I assume you want to know if its 120 or 240 switchable? The units comes with its own AC to DC converter on the plug. The transformer says 100-240 volts AC at 50-60Hz input, and the unit takes 42volts DC output it's converted too. So Yes it can use 100-240 volts AC however your receptacle must be able to fit the units plug for 240VAC mine uses 120 and it fits perfectly. if your receptacle is the same as a 120VAC receptacle, even it its wired for 240VAC, then your good.Understand the power cord has its own voltage converter built into it.BTW the picture quality is Super Fantastic. much better than I had assumed it could do. can I assume you want to know if its 120 or 240 switchable?

Yea, this is most definitely not dual voltage although it says so. I took it to Europe under the assumption it was. I also used a converter and it still died on me.

I have had to replace one unit due to power surge from lightining. Assuming your 120vac source is good, (test or have tested by competent persons), open the outer and inner doors and inspect the contacts. If the transformer output is 24vdc, check the circuit board on both sides, (a few phillips screws will remove it from the housing), for signs of over heat or shorting out. If no visible signs exist, contact Orbit customer service http://www.orbitonline.com/contact or 8004886156. They are extremely helpful.

If you plugged the voltage adapter into the wrong voltage, you could have burnt a circuit. Voltage must be compatible.

Our unit puts out 120 Volt and 240 volt AC current. It does not put out DC at all!

Hi, thanks for asking110V is ok, now , It depends with how many Amps works your AC, if is less than 10 Amps you are ok.
