How high should your outdoor scanner antenna be?

A: That depends on local laws but most important is the power output limitations that must be followed


What type of ac adapter does the ACDelco Jumpstart Compressor System portable power supply 59-255U require?

12 volt dc current output


Can an ac adapter's output be AC?

Yes an AC adaptors output can be AC. In order to change the output to AC a few components inside of the adaptor has to be removed. Pretty much all that has to be removed from the adaptor are the diodes. The gaps in the circuit then have to be bridged in order for the electricity to continue to flow to the output plug. However this can cause problems with the circuit causing the capacitors to explode. I dont recommend modifying an adaptor to output AC. Just go out and buy another one.


If your universal alternating current direct current adapter has more amperage than you need will that mess up your electronic product?

No, your universal alternating current direct current adapter will not mess up your electronic product. The rating that you find on the adapter is the maximum amount that you can draw from the device without damaging it. It is not like there is a surplus of current waiting to be used. The amount of current draw that it can produce is governed by the load demand. What you don't want to do is connect a device to the adapter that has a load higher that the rating of the adapter. Usually you can find the rating on the adapter rated in milli amps (ma) along with the output voltage. Also the load device will have what the amp draw is, also in milli amps.


Can I use a 15vac 500mA instead of a 15v ac 600mA?

Yes, it should work. The device being charged will only take the amount of charge it needs and all the 300 milliamp rating means is that the charger provides an additional 200 milliamps of current. Be sure though, to make sure the plug polarities match the one of the original and as long as you are sure the voltage rating is the same, you should be OK. You may find that your device will charge a bit faster than it did. One other thing you need to know though. If the original adapter puts out 9 volts at 100 milliamps DC and the other adapter puts out 300 milliamps AC, they aren't compatible, and will most likely burn out your device being charged.

Can you use a 9V 600mA adapter on a 9V 400ma scanner?

You can use any 9v adapter as long as the output amperage is rated higher than the amperage rating of your appliance so yes a 600ma adapter can be used to power a 500ma or 400ma appliance


Is a display adapter a input or output device?

A display ADAPTER is neither. The Display is an output device.


Is a flatbed scanner a input or output device?

output


are scanner an input or output?

Scanner is a input device. Printer is one of the output device. All like keyboard, scanner, mouse are input devices.


Why is a scanner a output?

A scanner is an output device because it doesn't receive data it only sends out data.


Is the scanner is input as well as output device?

Scanner can never be an output device! You most understand that scanner, falls into input device that helps to take input from the user into the computer.


Are there any HDMI adapters for the Dreamcast?

Not explicitly. The dreamcast did support VGA output through an optional adapter, and by interfacing that adapter with an additional VGA to HDMI adapter, HDMI-compatible output can be achieved.


Is an scanner an output device?

No, it is an input. The data goes in to the computer from the scanner, not out of the computer to the scanner.
