RGH22 RGS20 installation guide

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

.
