AC Adapter Specifications for Eco Sensors® Instruments

This size AC adapter is found in electronics stores and distributors worldwide. The adapters vary from country to country by plug geometries, voltage input, HZ rate, and conformity to local codes. The output plug is an international standard. While Eco Sensors instruments will work with a 300 mA output adapter, the 500 mA output size commonly available is preferred so that the adapter will run cooler and will have the additional capacity available to power the EE-2 Environmental Enclosure or other accessories. Eco Sensors stocks only the North American size adapter (120 V 60 HZ input). Customers in other areas must purchase their adapters locally.
