RFI341 Radio Frequency Interrogator

5.4.3 Main Power supply

The main power supply is 24V DC with a max input current of less than 2

Ampere (<50W). The power cable need to be shielded if the length extend

3m. The Shield need to be connected with the “Function earth”.

Power-up Delay

After the RFI341 is powered, the device will do an internal diagnostic. After

the diagnostic is finished the interrogator sends the start-up message or will

execute the background mode. This start-up time can be within a window of

less than 3 seconds. Refer to the document “Telegram Listing RFI341” for

details.
