You want a 16volt, 40VA wall plug transformer. Plug that search term into your favorite search engine, you will get tons of choices. The transformers aren't propriatory, buy them based on price and whether you like the look fo the vendor.

It's a _standard_ wall plug transformer with screw terminals that produces 16.5vac. Any vendor that sells security systems and accessories has about 5-6 models in VA ratings from 10 to 100VA.

40VA fits the average alarm system.
