Waterproof AC/DC Converter - 110V Input, 12V Output - 11 Amp Max - 12V Cigarette Plug In Socket
Part #: DCP-11-CP
The Larson Electronics DCP-11-CP Waterproof Power Supply converts commonly used 100 - 277VAC electrical current to 12VDC @11
Amps. This converter includes a typical straight blade plug on the input end and a Cigarette Lighter Plug-In Socket on the output end.
This converter operates with common voltages within the 100-277VAC range and converts it to 12VDC, allowing users to use standard
AC power to operate equipment like our LED and HID lights that require 12 Volt DC current.
The DCP-11-CP 106 watt power converter provides a safe and effective way for users to tap into and utilize 100-277 Volt AC power sources and
convert this current to 12 Volts DC for use with equipment that requires 12 volt electrical power. This unit can be operated with input current
ranging from 100 to 277 VAC and will output 12 Volt DC current at 11 amps. This power converter features an IP64 rated waterproof design,
making it suitable for indoor or outdoor use and includes integral short circuit and overload protection that will shut down the unit in case of faults
and overloads to protect the unit and connected equipment from damage.
This converter comes with a straight blade plug on the input lead and a cigarette plug socket on the output lead, allowing users to simply plug the
unit into a typical wall outlet, then connect any 12 volt equipment equipped with cigarette plug connectors. Many of our 12 volt LED lights and
LEDLB, LEDLB-E, LEDP ect series lights as well as many of our HID units are available with cigarette plugs, making this unit "plug-n-play"
compatible. The small size and wide input voltage range of this unit make it ideal for operating Larson Electronics LED light bars, Golights and
other equipment that requires 12VDC current indoors and anywhere 12 volt DC power is not readily available.
Measuring 8.25 inches long by 2.5 inches wide by 1.5 inches deep, this unit weighs less than one pound and is mounted with two conventional
screws via slots that allow removal and repositioning simply by loosening the screws.
The DCP-11-CP 106 watt converter features full range, universal AC input capability and can be operated with 100 to 277VAC. The unit converts
this AC power input to 106 watt, 11 Amp 12VDC output. IP64 rated, this unit is waterproof and suitable for indoor or outdoor applications.
Integrally designed protection includes overload, short circuit and over voltage safeguards to prevent overheating and unit damage in case of
faults or overly heavy current draw. This unit will shut down when an over current fault is encountered and automatically resume operation once
the fault is repaired or removed. When an over voltage condition is encountered the unit will shut down and recovers when manually turned back
on.
This power converter has a -20 / +60C operating temperature range and is UL 1310 Class 2 and CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 223-M91 rated. This unit
has an 85% conversion efficiency and is suitable for use with moving LED signs and similar LED equipment.
NOTE: In order to obtain the best performance and the longest operational life from these units, it is recommended that you do not exceed 75%
of the unit’s output amperage. To determine if this converter suits your desired application, add together the total wattage of the equipment you
intend to use with this unit and divide this total by 12 volts to find the total amperage draw that will be placed upon the converter. For example, if
you are using our LEDP10W-60E 60 watt LED light, 60 watts divided by 12 volts is 5 amps. This would mean the DCP-11-CP is well suited as it
would run at slightly less than 50% capacity to produce the necessary 5 amps. Running these units at 100% of their capacity can create excess
heat and lead to shortened converter life.
