Appendix A LCD-160 Power Requirements An LCD-160 draws its power from the power supply and must be considered when calculating the primary and secondary power supply requirements for the system. Each LCD-160 is accounted for in the power calculations outlined in the respective installation manual. However, if the current draw dedicated to all LCD-160s must be calculated as a separate figure, use the equations in Table 9.1.
