    AC Adapter for Solus

    Hey you guys I'm new at this site and my question is:

    What is the AC/DC Wall power outlet to the solus input polarity?

    Is the center a +
    Is the outside a -

    Thanks guys.

    My guess is the center would be 12+ because if the outside was and you were to strike the dc version on ground it could cause damage.

    Grab a dvom and see

      Tecnick thanks for the input and I understand what you saying but I cannot risk damaging the scanner so I need to make sure, I'm hopping that someone with the actual tool and scanner would let me know and of course I will appreciate..

      Thanks.

            Here's kind of an answer. I have a Vantage Pro, which uses the same charging station as the Solus Pro. My charger is 15V DC output. The plug on the charger is tip (center) positive, ring (outside) negative.

              Yes I can just buy it but that would be the last resort and this is because I have a whole box full of those adapters just sitting pretty and I feel that maybe I don't have to buy it.

              Because- give me a great answer I appreciate much the only thing is that the solus receives 12V.

              Tecnick thanks a lot for the hopes up, I'll check you up morrow..

              Thanks everyone.

                When you plug the Solus into battery power and running you are getting 13 -15 dc volts. it can be higher than 12v.Hope this helps

                  Because had good info! Also the solus pro and vantage pro use the exact same battery and charger.



                  I didn't get a chance Saturday to get the exact info for you tho :-(

                    A google search pulled this up:

                    I am looking for a power cord for a SO Solus Pro EESC316. Yes, I am aware that I can get it from an SO dealer. The one that I have does not have a power cord. I have the batteries, battery charger and everything else; but i do not have the cord. I have tons of power cords here at the shop...


                    Hope that helps.

                      Love it, I always appreciate good input with smiles otherwise a miserable world re-borns thanks

                      Tecknic thanks for the input, sometimes I get off track for one reason or another but what is fun is the fact that we all manage to get back on track again, I'm just glad this isn't the court house..

                        polarity

                        just had a quick look at my mains adapter and I can confirm that the center is positive and the outside of the plug is negative 12-15 volts
