    Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction for an up-to-date list of the power consumption of C-Bus units?

    Google is not my friend today....and the calculator seems to be missing some items.

    Thank you.

    Can you post what items you need info on? Might be faster.

    Looks like we need to provide an updated list :eek:

    Do you mean the calculation on Toolkit or the old C-Bus Calculator application? I thought the latter was deprecated.

    If you're referring to Toolkit, what is missing?

    Thanks for the replies.

    I just used the C-Bus Calculator to grab some numbers quickly.

    I have a L5512RVF which is not displaying the Catalog number in the edit screen. The field is blank. I have looked in the xml tag file and it is there. Don't know but this seems to be reducing the power calc in Toolkit by 200mA so has me as not having enough power. Does it use this field for calcs?

    Thought I'd just redo the calcs as I haven't done them for years (but have only added a couple of L5108REL to the second network) over that time.

    Using the diagnostic in Toolkit:
    Net 254: max voltage is 32 and min is 25.9
    Net 253: max 29.9 and min is 25.9

    so voltages are ok.

    I have 60 units on 254 and 85 units on 253 (bridged) but interestingly I have to have a burden on both networks for it to be stable. I wouldn't have thought needed?

    Network is stable except for bridged network going offline then online again after about 2 mins several times a day.


    Pretty sure the numbers below are right but a few blanks if someone could advise.

    Many thanks!

    CNI = 0 ?
    5504GIU = ??
    5500PACA =??

    B&W Screen 5000CT = 40mA (got this on the training course 7 or 8 years ago - still works but screen is VERY dim!)

    Reflection Keypads = 18mA
    DLT = 18mA
    Neo = 18mA
    5753PIER = 18 mA
    L5501RBC = 22mA
    L5108REL = 32mA
    5031PE = 18mA
    5500NB = 36mA

    The installation instructions always specify the current drawn

    CNI 0mA
    PACA 32mA
    GIU 18mA
