Power consumption

To assist with power consumption planning, the following table summarises average power consumption during
the various states of the NTC-220 series router under normal usage conditions. It is important to note that this
table serves as an indication only as the power consumed by the device is affected by many variables including
signal strength, network type, and network activity.

Average power consumption figures

P O W E R I N P U T
12V Powered on, all functions disabled
12V Powered on, connected to LTE and idle
12V Powered on, connected to packet data with heavy traffic
12V Peak power draw at maximum 4G module transmission power

Viewing power source information

You can view the current power input mode in the Advanced status section of the device's web user interface. This
is useful for remotely monitoring the device. You can also use the Software Development Kit to access this
information for advanced purposes (e.g. configuring SMS alerts to inform you of the power status of the router).
To view the router's power source information, log in to the router and expand the Advanced status box on the
status page. See the Status section of this manual for more information on the status page.
