Powering A222 Power Considerations A222 accepts an input voltage of 8-32 VDC. For best performance use a clean and continuous power supply. When applying 12 VDC, A222 will draw approximately 3.2W. Connecting to a Power Source A222 uses a single cable for power and data input/output. - Page 15 Black Speed out Green Note: For successful communication, the baud rate of the A222 serial ports (Port A and Port B) must be set to match that of the connected devices.
