BG443716571 Mine came with a universal multi adapter plug-socket. Should be okay. Check input voltage. Mine is 220-240v

Q: What is the strength of the lamp in lumen

Asked by BG232223325 on 2021-07-11 05:48:58

BG443716571 It is advertised as 3,300 lumens. I haven't the ability to measure, but the light is very bright. I would rate, compared to known lumen output, about 1,000 lumens. With all white LED's on.

rocketmrv After testing with a wattmeter and reflected power meter (SWR meter) plugged into a 50 Ohm dummy load the output is 100 milliwatts on lower part of band rising to 200 milliwatts towards top part of band. NOT 5,000mw as stated. Do NOT turn on without proper tuned antenna (less than 1.5 to 1 SWR) or a 50 Ohm dummy load plugged in. This unit runs fine when properly installed.

rocketmrv See above. Do NOT run without tuned antenna (less than 1.5 to 1 SWR) or plugged into a 50 Ohm dummy load! Standing waves will destroy output IC of unit or turn off output section if it has built in SWR protection. (which I ascertain from other users this does have SWR protection built in)

Q: Is it legal to have this in South Africa without radio licence?

Asked by Amajubamediahou on 2019-10-17 07:28:19

rocketmrv See above. Unit outputs between 100mw to 200mw upper part of frequency. Not 5,000mw! Using these figures, check local laws with appropriate department.

rocketmrv Output of unit is as follows after testing with wattmeter and a 50 Ohm dummy load. 100mw on low part of band, rising to 200mw across output frequency to top of band, 109Mhz. Using this data, check with local laws. NOT 5,000mw as stated. Most countries have LIPD (low interference potential) laws which allow low power TX on this band.

rocketmrv DO NOT power up at all without a properly tuned antenna (less than 1.5 to 1 SWR) or a 50 Ohm dummy load. Standing waves will either destroy output transistor or turn off units output section if it has built-in protection. This is a transmitter that once plugged in and turned on transmits continuously!

rocketmrv The output on mine plugged into a 50 Ohm dummy load is around 200mw on top frequency and 100mw on 87Mhz. Check your local regulations. I seriously doubt this would be a problem because output is so low. In Aus we have LIPD laws which allow low power output on this band. Using the output tested then consult local laws.

Q: I cant find the wiring diagram, is it available on line?

Asked by BG124445112 on 2020-10-09 10:00:57

rocketmrv I am not sure. Mine came without any sort of instructions or even specs. It is supposed to have a built in regulator (model is an updated version distinguishable by a green led on the main housing) but there is three wires output. I am yet to install, but assume the three wires must carry two phases of AC current. I will test before installation and if AC I will test voltage and rectify and regulate to about 14.4 volts so as to not cook my batteries. (unlikely since I have 600 amp hour batteries installed.) Can anyone help us out with further information? I doubt the output is 4000 watts as described in my version. I even doubt the 1000 watts given the size of the unit. If three wires output assume unregulated, unrectified. Test with a simple DMM (digital multi-meter) after installation. If AC it will need rectification and maybe regulation. Recommend bridge rectifier and solid state voltage regulator (14.2 or 14.4v) with pass transistor if required. (about $5 all up) Alternatively, the three wires may be red +, black - and green earth. If it produces under 14.4 -15 volts on black and red wire with no voltage on green wire then is ok to install as red+ (to battery), black - (to battery) and green to an earth stake in ground. (I am old school) Hope this helps.

Q: Do you sell ammunition for this?

Asked by BG453395114 on 2020-09-25 07:36:01

rocketmrv Small ball bearings or even glass marbles. Small round rocks ok but not as accurate and may damage grip.
