Help CenterWe often receive questions from our customers about whether the OSI GEN2 Alarm System can be used outside of Canada, particularly in countries with a 220V electrical system. The good news is that our GEN2 alarm system is fully compatible with international power standards.
Key Information from the Power Adapter
The image below shows the AC/DC adapter that comes with the OSI GEN2 system. The key specifications are:
-
Input: 100–240V ~ 50/60Hz 0.5A
-
Output: 5V ⎓ 2.0A, 10.0W
This means that the adapter can handle a wide range of voltages and frequencies, including the standard 220V power used in many countries outside Canada. Whether you are in Europe, Asia, or other regions with 220V mains, the system will operate safely and efficiently.
Important Notes
-
No additional converter or voltage adapter is required when connecting the system to 220V power.
-
Ensure that the plug type matches your country’s outlets, or use a proper plug adapter.
-
The system itself operates on 5V DC provided by the adapter, so the adapter manages all voltage conversion.
Conclusion
The OSI GEN2 Alarm System is designed for flexibility and international use. Its power adapter supports 100–240V, allowing the system to function seamlessly both in Canada and in countries with 220V electrical power.
