Gaugemaster walk about controller help, advice

[mswjr]

Hi All, I have just bought a Gauge master walkabout controller ,The instructions say i need an independent transformer to use with it,now i have looked at the gaugemaster website,and they have two transformers that will go with it ,one is cased and one is uncased, These are expensive ,But i see also on the website they have a plug in tranformer  W M 1, This looks to me to be just the job,Can anyone say for sure before i buy it, Thankyou   Garry

My late father used a walkabout with a WM1, it had a small additional bit with a 16v  ac output and a 12v dc and worked well for ages. I still use it now with a combi,it plugs directly into that.  I cant help feeling that an uncased transformer feeding

 

240v into an open device is a bit iffy.

I am sure that gaugemaster make these safe, however but have no experience of one.

Thankyou for that ,Much appreciated ,I thought it could go together,But i was doubting my self as it was not in the instuctions,But the volts and outputs are the same, So im buying it,and yes i do not like the sound of an uncased transformer either, Thankyou Garry
