The CTM-ONE supports supply voltages ranging between 7 VDC and 32 VDC. It has two power modes:
Mode | Current @ 12V | Description | Mode change event |
Standby | 0.1-3.3mA | Device is in low power mode; higher current allows for more features such as instant boot. Linux is not running. | The device will spend most of its time in this mode, triggers such as timer, or input state change will bring the device out of this mode into Operating System mode. |
Operating | 80-100 mA | In this mode the device is transmitting/receiving data | Transmit time will typically be very short, few seconds or less due to typical low data payloads. |
Power management is controlled either by ignition or CAN Bus. By default, the CTM-ONE remains powered on continuously when connected to external power with power management disabled.
