Page 24 Aanderaa Data Instruments AS – TD3023.2 Tide sensor 5217/5217RThe sensor current drain depends on the sampling interval, the output interval (S), the tidal averaging period (T), and thesampling frequency (Fs) refer to Table 3-2 for current drain in each mode.Note! If Enable Tide is No (Tide output parameter are disabled), then the sensor power consumption is similar tothe power consumption of the Pressure sensor 4117/4117R, refer chapter 3.1.Table 3-2 Power consumption of the Tide Sensor 5217/5217R when Enable Tide is Yes, and the assumptions stated in thebeginning of Chapter 3 are true.Operation ModeCurrent drain@9VT/S ≤ 1 T/S > 1AiCaP 0.4 mA + (2.2*Fs*T/S) mA Fs = 2 Hz: 4.65 mA + (1.5/S) mAFs = 4 Hz: 9.2 mA + (1.5/S) mARS-232 0.4 mA + (2.5*Fs*T/S) mA Fs = 2 Hz: 5.5 mA + (13/S) mAFs = 4 Hz: 10 mA + (13/S) mARS-422 1.1 mA + (2.4*Fs*T/S) mA Fs = 2 Hz: 5.5 mA + (13/S) mAFs = 4 Hz: 10 mA + (13/S) mA
