General specifications
Power supply
5 V ± 5%
120 mA (typical), 200 mA RGH22Y, S and H
NOTE:
Current consumption figures refer to unterminated readheads.
For digital outputs a further 25 mA per channel pair (e.g. A+, A-) will
be drawn when terminated with 120
Ω
.
For analogue outputs a further 20 mA will be drawn when terminated
with 120
Ω
.
Power from a 5 V dc supply complying with the requirements for SELV
