System Power Requirements

Calculating Your Power Needs
To determine whether an auxiliary power supply card is required for your system, refer to the Options Power-Requirement Worktable at right. Then, list the quantity of the particular DBK option in use, and multiply the quantity by the mW power consumption indicated.

Place the resulting totals in the last column, add them, and list the overall total at the bottom of the column. If the overall total is equal to or less than the appropriate number indicated in the Available Power Chart below, the application does not require an auxiliary power supply. If your overall total exceeds the amount indicated in the chart below, then one or more DBK32As are required.

** Module with internal power supply, powered separately
† Not used with LogBook
†† 60 mA value is based on 30 mA for each of two 5B modules. This value will be higher if using 5B module 5B38 (200 mA for each 5B38), or if using 5B39 (170 mA for each 5B39).
