Calculation of the current absorption
The system absorption is always calculated whenever the diagrams in the
guide are not followed.
When calculating the current absorbed by the components, remember that
the maximum current which can be supplied by the power supply must not
be exceeded.
To calculate the current absorbed by the sources, consider the source with
greatest absorption in “ON” and all the others in “stand-by”.
While for the flush-mounting amplifiers L4562 consider the ON absorption
relative to the type of load connected (loudspeaker impedance and number
of outputs connected to the loudspeakers).
There must be at most 100 SCS devices.
There must be at most 8 L4562 amplifiers.
There must be at most 40 F502 amplifiers
(maximum 10 for output of node F441).
The maximum current of each individual Node audio/video output F441
must be less than 600mA continuous. This limit translates as a maximum of
2 flush-mounting amplifiers L4562 with 8 ohm loudspeakers or 4 flush-
mounting amplifiers L4562 with 16 ohm loudspeakers.

EXAMPLE 2
during the video door entry call, consider the MUTE absorption of the flush-
mounting amplifiers.
To calculate the current margin consider the higher absorption, thus 1200 - 1184 = 16mA
