Power Supplies

While the LT Series will operate with 8 “C” cell batteries, you should consider several other power options that might work better for your situation and save you money.

Universal AC Adapter (07584): This adapter supplies a constant regulated 12 volt DC at up to 5 Amps from either a standard 115 volt AC or 220 volt AC household supply. It is the only tested and recommended AC power supply for the LT Series system.

#607 DC Power Cord w/ Cigarette Lighter Adapter (07043): This adapter allows you to plug into a standard automobile 12v DC power socket. It comes with a 25 foot cord so you can setup far from the car.
