What is the expected current drain for the 12 Vdc supply for a CE4 or CE8 module when CTRL is high?

The active current drain can be calculated using the following equation:
Current drain = 25 mA + (50mA) x (number of 229-L sensors connected to the CE4 or CE8)

For example, the current drain of a CE4 with 3 sensors is calculated like this:
Current drain = 25 mA + (50 mA) x (3 sensors) = 25 mA + 150 mA = 175 mA.

  • The current drain for a CE4 ranges from 75 mA to 225 mA.
  • The current drain for a CE8 ranges from 75 mA to 425 mA.
