Power Supply Design

Any system is only as good as the power supply behind it.

Wherever possible, the following should be adhered to:

• Module network power should be from a dedicated feed.
• Lock power should be separated from other devices.
• PSU average load should be kept below 75% of rated capacity.
• Batteries should always be connected to the PSU.

Power supply loading calculations should always be carried out to ensure you have enough power to keep your system running under all conditions.
