The above values are excluding heater consumption which is variable and depending on configu-
ration settings. Default value is 220 mA at 12 VDC but can be configured in 20 mA intervals
from minimum 120 mA to maximum 300 mA. When the heater is set in automatic mode, the
heater will be activated when the internal temperature of the reader is below +1°C, the heater will
automatically deactivate when the internal temperature exceeds +5°C.
Depending on the heater consumption setting the time it will take for the reader to exceed +5°C
will vary- a higher power consumption setting will reduce the time required to heat
the reader.
Current draw (idle) is defined as reader connected to power, no LED’s lit, buzzer is
not sounding and no reading of credential or key pressing is processed by the reader.
Current draw (peak) is defined as reader powered with both backlight and LED frame lit (Yel-
low), buzzer is sounding and reader is reading a credential while simultaneously a key pressing is
processed.
