Note
Calculations are based on an unregulated linear power supply, which
would be the worst case. Using a regulated or switching power supply
can increase the cable distance. Honeywell recommends using a CSA
Certified/UL listed Class 2 power adapter to ensure compliance with
electrical safety standards.
