ORION® SE II Network Gateway Transceiver
GPRS or LAN with DC Power Source
The ORION SE II network gateway transceiver can be ordered with a 10-foot DC power source cable (PN: 66233-020) for
direct connection with a customer-supplied DC power source. The gateway requires about 6W average power and 12W peak
power. When connecting an AC-to-DC power supply, the recommendation is to use a power supply rated at 1 A (minimum) at
24V DC.
OTE:N Consult the appropriate electrical, building and industry codes, regulations and standards for accepted installation
practices when attaching the cable to a DC power source.

Absolute Requirements
The gateway can be powered by a DC voltage source between 12…30V. Cable length must be reduced to 100 feet, or less, if
less than a 24V source is being used. For reference, when connecting directly to batteries, as in a solar assembly (not supplied),
the average electrical load is 12V DC @ 0.5 A continuous. Cables, fuses and/or circuit breakers MUST be capable of handling at
least 1A peak currents.
