In general, perform the following to ensure a sufficient power supply:
1.
Use the specification data and add the maximum current draw for the 130-MC and each peripheral
that uses the same power supply to obtain the maximum total current they will draw at any given
time then add at least 25%.
2.
Check your power supply's specifications to ensure that it can handle this load. Contact REF TEK if you
require more accurate calculations or other information regarding power considerations.
3.
Solar power setups are frequently used in remote locations and these are available in several
capacities that cover the various equipment configurations. Solar power arrays supplied by REF TEK
include solar panels, battery charge regulators, and protective safety devices, but they may or may
not include the actual batteries.
