8 Power consumption

On batteries the METEON consumes 2.5 mA, with back light on this is 12 mA.
Each additional SMP adds 7 mA, So logging of one analog and one smart sensor consumes 9.5 mA.
With Alkaline batteries of 2200 mAh this means a lifetime of approximately 230 hour.
Keep in mind that the M&T temperature sensor need a 12V power supply. When the METEON is
powered with 12VDC this can be transferred to the Modbus sensors as well.

9 Memory usage

The METEON can store approximately 380.000 values. Per log interval for each radiometer and
temperature sensor 3 values are stored (min, max and average). The pulse input stores one value per
interval.
Example calculation:
Logging with 2 radiometers and one pulse input connected.
This means logging of (2 x 3) + 1 = 7 values per interval.
With a log interval of 15 seconds this gives 4 x 7 x 60 = 1680 values per hour.
When logging is 24h per day, the memory will last (380.000 / 40.320) for 9.4 days.
