Hey guys Not got my DVI powered up yet, still waiting on the step down unit to arrive. Thought I'd post up some progress I've made looking for solutions to using a 120v unit here in the UK. I saw this unit on Aliexpress. Dual Output AC Converter 110v 220v to DC 12V 8A - 5V 1A 100W Switching

That looks like a neat small unit. If you can get it internally mounted near the fan it should be a good option. From: M100 on behalf of James Zeun Reply-To: Date: Sunday, February 16, 2020 at 7:30 PM To: Subject: Re: [M100] Using a US DVI unit in the UK > First I'd like

The cleanest solution might be to buy a packaged autotransformer. This could be hidden under the desk and be available if you buy any other 110V kit :) Something greater than 100W would be fine for the DVI. RS have quite a few autotransformers: https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/autotransformers/31011

As far as I’m aware, from what Jim has told me. This is a perfectly working unit, it just needs a power supply. At the moment I’ve no means of powering up the DVI, until I come up with a solution. YES i could you one of those in the wall, adapters. But me being me, I have to be difficult and go

With such a cheap transformer in the DVI the 50Hz should not really produce much of an impact, the output voltage might be down slightly but I doubt the internal transformer is that well tuned to 60Hz. I would be more worried about failure of parts due to their age, especially the caps. On 16/2/20

Hey guys I've just to receipt of my very own disk video interface and i can't wait to try it out. However I'd like to ask for some advice. Does the DVI need a US to UK adapter or will it operate with 240v? Reading the service manual it lists 120v, 220v and 240v as operating voltages on page 1-4.
