I have a motion detector that uses 3 C cells for the receiver and chime. It has a plug that is labeled 4.5 V. I tried a 5 Volt 3 Amp power supply with no success. The receiver works and the LED lights up in response to movement near the motion detector but no chime. I did some rewiring (thicker gauge wires) and can get the chime to ring SOMETIMES. I think the receiver chime draws more amps than I am providing with the power supply I have.
I found some nice boards that will provide regulated 4.5 volts but are only rated at 2 amps. I have a 6 amp 12 volt supply and was thinking of using two boards with both boards inputs wired in parallel and both outputs also wired in parallel. Will this work?
