Power supply
Current in the power line
The power consumption listed in the table below corresponds to an OLCT 80
equipped with a main sensor. It does not include the power consumption of an
ANA1/ANA2 sensors used.

Length of the power line
The detector must be connected to a dedicated power supply or a central power
source (central measuring controller, PLC) using a shielded, armored (where
necessary) cable. The cable should be selected based on distance, the detector
type and any requirements specific to the facility.
