Device Power Requirements
The bright blue controller is designed to provide power from a power supply to a number of different devices.
The power supply(s) must be large enough to power the bright blue controller and all attached devices. Make
sure that the total power requirements of all devices do not exceed the output of the power supply(s) in use. If not
enough power is being supplied, the devices and the bright blue controller will not work correctly.
Example 1: One power supply is going to be used to power 4 Schlage VIP locks and 5 VBB-RIs:
â–ª VIP locks require 600mA @ 12 VDC and VBB-RIs require 300mA
â–ª 600mA x 4 = 2400mA (for the VIPs)
â–ª 300mA x 5 = 1500mA (for the VBB-RIs)
â–ª Total is 2400mA + 1500mA = 3900mA
â–ª 3900 mA = 3.9A
â–ª A 5Amp power supply would be used in this situation.
Example 2: One power supply is going to be used to power 7 Schlage VIP locks, 2 VBB-RIs and bright blue:
â–ª VIP locks require 600mA @ 12 VDC, VBB-RIs require 300mA, bright blue requires 250mA
â–ª 600mA x 7 = 4200mA (for the VIPs)
â–ª 300mA x 2 = 600mA (for the VBB-RIs)
â–ª 250mA x 1 = 250mA (for bright blue)
â–ª Total is 4200mA + 600mA + 250mA = 5050mA
â–ª 5050 mA = 5.05A
â–ª A 5Amp power supply is NOT recommended in this situation. A 10Amp power supply should be used to
insure the system does not lose power.
