3.2  POWER DISTRIBUTION NETWORK 
The R1, R2, R3, R3D, R5 and R5D radars require a nominal 28 VDC (accepting from 20 to 32 VDC) at their input 
and consume less than 45W in operation. You should select a power supply capable of delivering 28 VDC 
consistently through a range of expected temperatures. 
 
The supply must deliver a sustained 45W of power. Allowance for a power-on surge should be provided. 
Therefore, a minimum 75W of power is recommended for trouble-free operation in all conditions. 
 
A single power supply may supply multiple radar assemblies; the minimum capacity recommended is 75W per 
unit. Additional equipment powered by the power supply must be taken into account when determining the 
power supply capacity (i.e. Ethernet media converters, wireless transceivers, etc.). 
 
When long supply wires are required, a proper wire gauge must be used to ensure that the resulting voltage 
drop along the supply wires meets the radar minimum operating voltage. In some cases, the power supply may 
be incorporated into a breakout box located next to the radar assembly, to ensure low voltage drop.
