Description
On batteries the METEON consumes 2.5 mA, with back light on this is 12 mA. Each additional SMP adds 7 mA, So logging of one analog and one smart sensor consumes 9.5 mA. With Alkaline batteries of 2200 mAh this means a lifetime of approximately 230 hour. When the METEON is powered with 12VDC this can be transferred to the Modbus sensors as well.
