Totals (mA)
[1] Includes the PS10-4B, the VM-CPU, one preinstalled VM-SLC or VM-SLC-HC card with a fully loaded loop circuit, and a
VM-LCD.
[2] Add 2.5 mA for each active LED. Total current does not exceed 58 mA with all LEDs on.
[3] Standby and alarm current values are for one VM-SLC or VM-SLC-HC card with a fully loaded loop circuit. Increase the
device quantity if you add a VM-SLC or VM-SLC-HC card to the VM-CPU or VM-SLCXB. The maximum quantity is two.
[4] Add 71.2 mA for each SMXLO2, 76.8 mA for each SMXHI2, and 20.0 mA for each MMXVR.
[5] Includes EAEC card currents.
[6] Includes telephone controller card and hook-switch card currents.
[7] Standby and alarm current values are for one preinstalled VM-SLC or VM-SLC-HC card with a fully loaded loop circuit. If
you add a second VM-SLC or VM-SLC-HC card to this dual loop module, increase the card device quantity.
[8] Standby and alarm current values are for a 24DC12 without connected devices. Increase the values when you connect a
device. Refer to the device installation sheet for its current values.
