Power Supply 
Power supply can be connected separately for the measurement 
electronics and heating. This allows for the battery backup to be limited 
to the measurement power supply. 
Measurement electronics require 12 VDC ... 50 VDC. All the heaters can 
take AC, DC, or rectified AC. The heater voltage dimensions are 
specified below. 
Internal Heaters and Heaters for PWL111 
The heaters for Background Luminance Sensor PWL111 (optional) are 
parallel to the PWD22/52 internal heaters (connector X18 on the 
PWC22/52 board). Both heaters are powered by the PWD operating 
voltage line and the DC voltage level must be between 12 V and 28 V 
(24 V recommended). 
If the DC voltage is as low as 12 V, the jumpers inside PWL111 must be 
set to 12 V to guarantee sufficient heating power. To access the jumpers, 
open the two screws on PWL111 back cover. See jumper settings in 
Figure 13.

PWH111 Hood Heaters 
A separate heating power of 24 V must be applied when using hood 
heaters. They use 30 W each, for a total of 60 W.
