Note You must follow all safety requirements, site requirements, and instructions in this manual to properly set up, configure, and use the BTS-16110.

Power Guidelines

Follow all safety requirements, site requirements, and instructions in this manual to properly set up, configure, and use the BTS-16110.

Power connections must meet the power requirements listed in the BTS-16110 Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Information document.

The system must meet the following power connection requirements:
  • Cable/wires must be insulated for the highest voltage based on the input rating of the system, and properly sized for current rating.
  • Wire gauge specifications must meet or exceed requirements and comply with all applicable local codes and requirements.

Power Requirements

Table 7. Power requirements
Voltage input range 19 V DC to 30 V DC
Input power consumption Up to 150 W, maximum

Environmental Guidelines

The BTS-16110 operating temperature range is 15 °C to 50 °C. Specifications are only warranted at operating temperatures from 15 °C to 40 °C.
Notice Prolonged operation above 40 °C may cause device accuracy to shift outside of warranted specifications and require recalibration to restore accuracy specifications. Take all precautions to maintain ambient air temperatures within guaranteed accuracy specifications.
Notice When operating BTS-16110 below 20 °C (68 °F) the device power supply must be 22.5 V DC or greater.

BTS-16110 is passively cooled and actively controls its internal temperature for accuracy performance. Excessive direct airflow may cause BTS-16110 to lose temperature regulation. Read the BTS-16110 temperature status from the API to ensure operating conditions. Adjust the environment and airflow as required.

Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations

Hazardous Voltage Ensure that hazardous voltage wiring is performed only by qualified personnel adhering to local electrical standards.
Hazardous Voltage Do not mix hazardous voltage circuits and human-accessible circuits on the same product.
Hazardous Voltage When product terminals are hazardous voltage LIVE, you must ensure that devices and circuits connected to the product are properly insulated from human contact.
Hazardous Voltage All wiring must be insulated for the highest voltage used.
