Hi. I have a Wave n' Dry hands free towel dispenser. I was spending $25 on custom battery packs for it until one day I decided to cut the battery back open. I found it to be just six D cell batteries and a AA. I bought a battery bracket and made my own, much cheaper. However, after years of using it, I'm now tired of even that lol. It's annoying when the Ds are dying and the dispenser slows down. So I figured OK, it's DC current so it should be easy to find a DC wall-wart to replace it. Problem is, the way it's wired combined with my absolute void of electronics knowledge means I have no idea what power specifications I should be getting for said wall-wart. This is how the pack is designed:
I assume the white wire is for powering the motion sensor and the red wire powers the motor. What kind of volts/amps should I be looking for?
Also, I assume it would be bad to feed the higher power motor one into the sensor so I'll have to have two plugs for this machine. I'd rather avoid that. If someone has the know how to build a circuit that can take a single input and output both the motor and sensor current from that, please give me a price to build me one shipped to 17313. I tried to read up on making one myself but 1. I'm pretty electronics stupid and 2. I don't want to burn my house down lol
Thanks!
