Power Requirements - eWON FLB 3271 Installation Manual

Only the first detected Wifi card (the most left one) will be taken into account by the Flexy
firmware. An additional card of the same type will be ignored. Contrary to what happens
when it is inserted in a wrong slot, a Wifi card in excess will not alter proper operation of the
Base Unit and other Extension Cards.

3.6.5. Power Requirements

The internal power converter of the eWON Flexy Base units has been dimensioned to cover
a broad range of different combinations of Extension Cards. Users should make sure the
total power demand of the Extension Cards does not exceed the capabilities of the Base
Unit. That is why the notion of "Energy Points" has been introduced.
The Installation Guide IG-014-0-EN "eWON Flexy - Base Units" includes a section giving the
Available Energy Points of each type of Base Unit.
The power requirements of each Extension Card is expressed in Energy Demand Points. This
number is meant to check whether the balance with the Available Energy Points of a given
Base Unit with Extension Cards is OK or not.
Energy Demand Points
The Installation Guide IG-014-0-EN "eWON Flexy - Base Units" includes examples of practical
power balance calculations.
