NOTE
If the optional sensor heating is enabled, SDI-12 Native mode 
consumes the same as ASCII RS-232 mode. 
When heating is on (or the temperature is such that it should be on), 
some 0.08 mA additional current is drawn from the operational power 
supply. 
NOTE
While in Service mode and/or while supplied through the service port 
the transmitter consumes 0.3 ... 0.6 mA more than in normal mode, 
when supplied through the main port (M12 connector or screw 
terminals). When supplied through the service port the minimum 
voltage level for reliable operation is 6 V. This can also be seen in the 
supply voltage reading of the Supervisor message - the Vs value is 1 V 
lower than the actual input voltage.
