Those needing a 16.5VAC, 40VA transformer can turn to the DSC PTD1640U. The transformer offers enough power to keep both the panel and a connected alarm communicator running.
Since the DSC PTD1640U uses AC power, polarity does not need to be observed when connecting wires to the terminals. The use of 18-gauge or 22-gauge wire is recommended for most installations. Refer to the installation manual for the panel and/or communicator you are powering to determine the maximum allowed wire run. Using thicker 18-AWG wire will allow for longer wire rungs, but 22-AWG wire can be more flexible and easier to work with.
When setting up the DSC PD1640U, make sure to properly wire the transformer to the device before plugging it in. Plugging in the transformer before completing the wiring may cause damage to the transformer and/or the device(s) that it is powering.
