A standard on-board power supply provides 800mA @5VDC 
or 500mA @12VDC for reader power. An additional 
3A@12VDC is available with the optional expanded power 
supply. The Superterm can be ordered with a factory installed 
expanded power supply. The expanded power supply can also 
be ordered separately and field installed within the Superterm 
enclosure. The expanded power supply includes a 12AH 
standby battery, an upgrade to the standard 7AH battery. The 
standard 7AH and expanded 12AH batteries provide 4–6 hours 
standby. In addition to the rechargeable standby battery, each 
Superterm includes a lithium battery for up to one year of data 
protection. 

The Superterm-8 is UL Listed for UL294 (Access Control 
System Unit), UL1076 (Proprietary Burglar Alarm Unit) and 
UL1950** (Information Technology Equipment).
