model ns -ac3000 ( this is the adapter i just purchased)
input: 100-240v ac, 50/60 Hz, 1.5a max


output: 3, 4.5, 5, 6, 7.5, 9, 12, 13.5, 15v 3000 mA max
19.5 24v 2000 mA max

Is this sufficient power source for the iron, and what are the optimum settings? the iron calls for 65watt . ok i think i figured out 24v will provide 65 watts of power so that will be good setting for adapter? thanks for all help BTW the only thing i am working on are guitar pedals,

I have a Pinecil, similar to the TS101, and use a 65W 20V phone charger with a PD USB port. This was the maximum power the iron accepted when I bought it.

That's 48 watts
65w is laptop charger territory

what i have is 48 watts? maybe that's why the iron does not work to heat up i tried 15v then 24v . i can scroll thru menu but when i try to power on it it shows tip res +7.3 then goes to settings options no temp display, i thought 24v would translate to 65 watts

Watts law: volts x amps = watts.

24vdc x 2A (2000ma)= 48 watts.

That'll getcha like 2/3 of the way here. Not quite enough. PD USB type C adapters are plentiful: lots of phones these days use 65 watt charging.
