Hi,

I am looking to use one of your MK161 receiver kits but need it to run on an existing 24vdc supply. Can you advise if this is possible and what parts I need to change.

Also what is approx. current draw at 12v?

Thanks

Will

Convertion to 24V would require that you replace the 78L05 100mA regulator with an 7805 1A regulator and that you replace the relays with 24V types. A better solution would probably be to drop the 24V to 12V by means of a 7812 regulator.
Idle current consumption: a couple of mA
Both relays activated: 60-70mA
