Has anyone made a DIY power cut adapter or have the specifications?

I have a ton of wall warts with various tip adapters and I'm sure I can make one myself. Just need the output voltage and if it's a +point of sale tip mono stereo plug. And size of tip.

Thanks

You simply plug in there a 5V-12V power supply with 3.5mm plug which gets its power from the AC socket you want to monitor.

P4 recognizes when the voltage on the line monitor port drops, which means that the AC socket has no power also.

You can define what shall happen then, e.g.:
- switch certain sockets off
- change voltage of 1-10V interfaces
- change pump speed

Available since GHL Control Center 1.1.1.6 (with included firmware 7.14 for Profilux 4)
 
Yes. Thank you. I know what it is and what it does.

I want to make one..
I have copied the entire post from Matthias and there is the answer in it: "5V-12V power supply with 3.5mm plug" ! (Polarity is standard with the + at the end)
