Page 20: Seadac Lite Power Requirements
SEADAC LITE POWER REQUIREMENTS Sealevel SeaDAC Lite modules are powered by the USB host interface and require 5VDC @ 500mA to be available on the USB port. Most computers and powered USB hubs are capable of meeting this requirement, while passive USB hubs and some laptops running on batteries may not. Check the product manual that shipped with your system or hub if you are uncertain. -
