Table A-21 DIN Transmitter Power Supply
Requires DC power
Meets Installation (Overvoltage) Category II, Pollution Degree 2 requirements
Contains an IEC 1.6A slowblow fuse
Power requirements
19.2 to 28.8 VDC, 6.3 watts maximum
At startup, transmitter power source must provide a minimum of 1.0 amperes of
short-term current per transmitter
Length and conductor diameter of the power cable must be sized to provide
19.2 VDC minimum at the power terminals, at a load current of 330 mA
