Specifications

The Chicken Coop Kit works with many types of motors, actuators, lights, fans, and relays. Verify that the hardware meets the specifications below to ensure proper operation.

The system is powered from a 12V direct current (DC) source, which can be from a 12V battery or 12V AC power supply. It has a 10A fuse, so all components operating at the same time (lights, fans, motors, heaters) must be within 10A. System current consumption is 35mA.
