ALITOVE 12V 1.5A DC Power Supply User Manual

1. Product Overview

The ALITOVE 12V 1.5A DC Power Supply is a versatile AC adapter designed to convert standard household alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) suitable for a wide range of electronic devices. With an input voltage range of 100-240V AC and an output of 12V DC at 1.5A (18W max), it provides stable and reliable power for devices drawing less than 1.5A, such as LED light strips, CCTV cameras, routers, Bluetooth speakers, and more. This power supply features multiple built-in safety protections to ensure the longevity and safe operation of your connected equipment.

3. Setup Instructions

1. Verify Device Compatibility: Ensure your device requires 12V DC input and draws a current of 1.5A or less (e.g., 500mA, 800mA, 1000mA, 1200mA, 1500mA). Check your device's power specifications.
2. Check DC Plug Size: Confirm your device's DC input port is compatible with a 5.5mm x 2.5mm or 5.5mm x 2.1mm barrel connector.
3. Connect to Device:
   • If your device has a compatible DC barrel input, simply plug the power supply's DC barrel connector into your device's power port.
   • If your device requires bare wire connection, use the included female DC barrel connector. Unscrew the terminals on the female connector, insert your device's positive and negative wires into the corresponding terminals (typically red for positive, black for negative), and tighten the screws. Then, plug the power supply's DC barrel connector into this female connector.
4. Plug into Power Outlet: Insert the AC plug of the power supply into a standard 100-240V AC wall outlet.
5. Power On: Your device should now receive power.

4. Operating Instructions

Once connected, the ALITOVE 12V 1.5A DC Power Supply operates automatically to provide stable power to your device. No further user interaction is typically required for its basic function.

• Optimal Load: For optimal performance and longevity of the power supply and your connected device, it is recommended that the maximum continuous use be less than 80% of the full load. For this 18W power supply, this means powering devices that consume up to approximately 14.4W.
• Indicator Light: The power supply may feature an LED indicator light (typically blue) to show that it is receiving AC input and providing DC output.

5. Maintenance

The ALITOVE 12V 1.5A DC Power Supply requires minimal maintenance.

• Cleaning: Disconnect the power supply from the wall outlet and the device before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the power supply in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
• Cable Care: Avoid bending or crimping the power cord excessively, especially near the connectors, to prevent internal wire damage.
