Amps
It is important to supply your system with adequate, reliable power. For this reason, you need to know your
system’s power requirement. Knowing the power requirement is also important when using batteries to
power modules, as you should know a safe runtime, i.e., how long you can run the system before recharging
is required.
Input voltage to the WaveBook/512, WaveBook/516 and to the system modules (WBK10 series, WBK14,
WBK15, WBK16, and WBK17) must be in the range of 10 to 30 VDC and can come from an AC-to-DC
adapter or from another source, such as a battery. System cards (WBK11, WBK12, or WBK13) get power
from their host WaveBook or WBK10 series expansion module.
Available AC-to-DC adapters include the TR-40U (supplied), which has an input of 90-264 VAC and an
output of 2.2 amps @ 15 VDC.
