You can find the manual at:
http:/www.ldgelectronics.com/manuals/TW-2 Manual.pdf

It's a .pdf but jaws reads it no problem on my pc. Or cut and paste the 
above link into a google search box and  one of the results you get will let 
you view the page  as html which you can easily save as a text file.

You will need 12 vdc for this.  I have both the TW-1 and TW-2 and both came 
with  a dc cord with plug at one end and bare wires at the other.  Others on 
this list  got one meter or the other  that was shipped with a wall wart. 
Not sure what you are going to get.   Current draw is very low, something 
like 200 ma.max.

73, you will like this thing. Steve KW3A
