ThingMagic M3e Power Consumption
Operation
DC Power Consumed at 5
VDC
Power Mode = Tag Read
240 mA
Power Mode = IDLE 34.9 mA
Power Mode = “SLEEP” 34.9 mA
These nominal values should be used to calculate metrics such as battery life. To determine the
absolute maximum DC power that would be required under any condition, consider temperature,
channel of operation, and antenna return loss
