dewalt tough system radio voltage

[zinzander]

Does anyone know whether the tough system radio automatically detects and changes between 120v and 230/240v? A lot of electronic do automatically detect a different voltage input and change but i don't want to test it in case i blow it up

no automatic detection !

internal power, I think is 12V

the supplied charger transforms it down to that voltage

but there are physicly three "power supplies"

I have all thre

a) USA plug

 UK three pin plug

3) EU (German ) 2 pin plug

cheers

So does it have an external transformer connected to the power chord? If so where did you buy them?

I need not buy them, they are obviusly shipped with the radio

hence I have three tough system radios

 

I would not call it external tranformer, that is missleading

 

same priciple as  chargers or otheres

the plug is country specific, 110V plug, internally ttransforms down to the required volage

voltage

sometimes it is 12v, 9,6v or 6v

There is an transformer on the power cord but you should have received it with the radio
