  • Operating Temp:-20 to 60 degrees C
  • Voltage: 12V DC - +30% -10% (voltage surge and cross polarity protected)
  • Stand by current consumption: <15mA
  • Position Accuracy: within 1 meter
  • Typical 24 hour period e.g
  • 5 radar in the area: <.55Ah
  • 10 radar in the area: <.75Ah
  • EIRP: 1W (typically)
