Psychobilly Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Ring misco tech support 0800 294 4516 Then take a trip down maplins...IF your 12V supply is 13.8V then it might be worth regulating it down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin66 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Looks identical to mine.I have a 12V cigar plug connected to a small (I think its 2mm DC plug) which fits the socket in the side of the card.If you need I can measure the plug. Not sure where I got it...probably Maplins (or maybe from the supply for a USB hub...similar size) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychobilly Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 There are a few different 3.5mm DC power jacks if its the Coax type...I Will be offlne for an hour between the office an home ... do you need anymore info before I leave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beamish Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 PDF suggest a 3.5mm plug.Ken you say your runs from a ciggy socket ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin66 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Just measured mineOutside diameter of plug 3.44mmSize of central hole 1.3mmCentre positiveMine looks like the plug end came from one of those cheap multi voltage transformers - you know the one where you get myriads of different ends and loose them before you find you actually need them!The other end is just a 12V car plug so I can run the card from my gel cell batteries. So it may be a "home made" version.....HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
