2.4 POWER & WIRING
The information presented below is provided to assist the installer in determining the
amount of power that will be required by the Gateway and its Subnet network.
2.4.1 Power Requirements
Power is applied directly to the Subnet16
TM
Network trunk and distributed through
drop cables to the Gateway and the RFID controllers attached (see Appendix C for
network diagrams).
The Gateway requires an electrical supply voltage of 18~30VDC and has a power
draw of 2.88W (120mA @ 24VDC, 1 Amp peak). Use a regulated power supply that
is capable of delivering these requirements.
EMS P/N: DESCRIPTION
00-1166 45W, 24VDC, 1.88A max
00-1167 100W, 24VDC, 4.17A max
00-1168 120W, 24VDC, 5.0A max
Table 2-3: Power Supplies Part Numbers
In addition, each RFID controller connected to the Gateway via the Subnet16 network
will also require power.
The information presented below is provided to assist you in determining the power
requirements of your RFID application.
2.4.2 Total System Current Consumption
Maximum Gateway Current = 120mA @ 24VDC (2.88W)
Maximum RFID Controller Current = (refer to controller’s specifications for
more information)
C0405-485 controllers = 100mA
C1007-485 controllers = 150mA
Cobalt HF-CNTL-485 controllers = 400mA
HF-0405-485 controllers = 150mA

ONSUMPTION
To calculate the total amount of current required to operate the Gateway and any
number of attached RFID controllers, follow the formula below.
Total Current Consumption
=
[Maximum Gateway Current
+ (Maximum Controller
Current x Number of Controllers)] x 1.1 (to add a 10% safety margin)
