Table 1: Power Consumption - CipherLab 5000 Hardware Manual

The System Menu provides information on power consumption.
Monitor voltage level: Line / Main / Backup
For the 5100 terminal, the smart battery icon will replace the plug icon on the screen
when it is battery-operated. Here is another way to tell a low or discharged main
battery from the screen.
Examine the levels of the smart battery icon
Utilizing the low voltage/power technology, the terminal draws very little power. The

It can be easily seen that there are still some rooms for the adaptor's supply capability.
However, it is strongly recommended to use other supplies to power heavy loads such
as door locks, alarms and so on. Also, if possible, keep these heavy loads electrically
isolated from the terminal. Electronic equipments such as the terminal tend to be
upset by surges from surrounding "noisy" devices.
