iPulse recommends that a
minimum power supply of 500mA or 8W
is supplied when connecting the device
to a power source. Having said this, it is critical to understand that if connecting a maglock or striker lock
to the same power source, that the current draw of these devices needs to be taken into account.
In the case where both the iPB4 and a locking mechanism are connected, it is recommended that a
minimum power supply of 1,5A or 17W
is supplied. This is subject to the power draw of the locking
mechanism, and care should be taken to ensure that enough power is supplied in cases where these
devices are using more than average.
If you are uncertain, consult an electrical contractor, especially in cases where using PoE to power these
devices, as whilst they may appear to work during installation, continued use of an under specified
power supply could result in problems over time.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
As with all electronic devices, the iPBx biometric device range can experience electronic malfunctions.
Whilst all the iPulse products are designed with safety in mind, and thus have multiple methods to
ensure that such failures happen in a safe and controlled manner, it is always wise to assume that
anything abnormal you can see, smell or hear are not safe, and thus the device should be disconnected
from the power source immediately.
Any strong metallic odour, or sounds of popping, crackling or hissing, are normally clear indicators
that something is not right with the device, and any visible signs of smoke should also be taken very
seriously.
Always put safety first, and if you experience any of the above, contact your product channel for
assistance and guidance.
