External Power Supply:
12-24 V (regulated and filtered) 3A min @12V, IEC60950-1 or IEC 62368-1 standard
compliant. If sharing power between devices, each unit must receive 3A (e.g. two units would require a 12
VDC, 6A supply).

A battery backup or uninterrupted power supply (UPS) with built-in surge protection is recommended.
WARNING: Under powering may cause memory and data corruption; over powering may cause hardware damage.
Both of these situations will void the warranty

IDEMIA recommends using a 24V 3A power supply and
AWG16 gauge cable. The voltage measured on the product
block connector of the terminal must be equal to 12V-24V (-
15% / +10%).
The product requires 36 W at all voltage conditions.
The voltage drop due to the cable shall be taken into account.
The table at the right, shows the maximum distance between
power supply and 1 unique device, depending on cable gauge
and power supply rating.
