Hi all,

need some advise from the seniors here. I bought a ATO from Amazon and its 115v AC. Must i buy a transformer or can i use those travel adapter?

If transformer, where can i get them and roughly how much should i pay for it?

Thanks!

I know Home fix got sell the transformer. But the ato should be dc voltage. So once u know the dc specs, u can use a local 230vac transformer and modified the wiring.

I'm not really good in eletrical wiring. LOL.

Yes u need to use transformer but is not cheap. Last I bought mine for close to 100 buck at sim lim.

Wa boss, that is expensive. I bought a JBJ ATO from amazon. Can we use those normal converter like this one?

look at the power supply u currently have. Is there any printings such as input volt and output volt? The transformer pic u have seems to have 2 modes u can choose. So u need to have input 230vac and output 110vac. And yr ato's power supply can connect to it.

How's yr ato looks like?

Its the JBJ ATO.

206100-JBJ-ATO-Auto-Top-Off-Level-Contro

So the converter should be able to work isn't it? converts our 240v to 115v for the ATO?

There's only a cable coming out from the ato controller rite? No power supply. Local 230vac unit is just a 2 pin plug wire from ato controller. If tats the case, just plug in your ac to ac converter and select the 230vac to 110vac. It is best to use a multimeter and probe the voltage of the 2 pins and make sure it's 110vac before u plug in yr ato.

Yup. Only 1 cable from the ATO. Will do. Thanks for your advise.

Have not go look for the converter yet. I got the ATO at $60++USD, and a TLF FR at $30++. Paid $110USD including shipping which i think is a good buy.

can go sim lim tower and ask. Maybe can get a reasonably priced one.

Sim Lim tower should have the auto trans. 230 to 110 or vice versa.

I think is about S$65
