| This Meade AC adapter consists of two parts. One is a transformer that converts normal 110-120Volt 60HZ household AC power to 12 Volt DC. An 8’ cord connected permanently to the transformer ends in a 5.5mm male plug that fits into the 12 VDC power receptacle in the drive base of all LX200, LX-90, ETX-90/105/125, LXD-75, and RCX400 telescopes. The second part is a 6’ standard three-prong AC cord that connects the transformer to the household AC outlet. The transformer provides a 5 amp 12 volt DC output, enough to operate any of the above-mentioned telescopes, even the largest RCX400 when the scope’s power-hungry built-in dew heater strip is operating at maximum power. This adapter can also be used to power previous LX200GPS (and similar) scopes in lieu of the now-discontinued 2.5 amp capacity #547 AC adapter previously recommended for those scopes. |
