Septentrio PolaRx5 Power Consumption

All values were measured using an Agilent DC Power Analyzer
- Power consumption was measured at 12 V
Measured values are given with 10% margin of error
- Power values will fluctuate with the number of visible satellites tracked
Users must turn off both satellite and signal tracking to realize power consumption reductions
