Consumption

Consumption table

The following table shows the power consumption of the Plug & Sense! Smart Water Xtreme sensor probes. Remember that the sensor board can be completely disconnected by turning off all sensors, reducing the consumption to zero.

Added to that, some sensors are quite complex and they have various working modes, so the power consumption could vary. The values shown in the table are averages when the sensor is being read by Waspmote.

Sensor probe	Standby	Average	Pulse
Optical dissolved oxygen and temperature OPTOD	25 μA	7.3 mA	100 mA
pH, ORP and temperature PHEHT	25 μA	6.8 mA	500 mA
Conductivity, salinity and temperature C4E	25 μA	9.2 mA	500 mA
Turbidity and temperature NTU	40 μA	4.2 mA	500 mA
Inductive conductivity, salinity and temperature CTZN	50 μA	15.5 mA	700 mA
Suspended solids, turbidity, sludge blanket and temperature MES5	25 μA	4.5 mA	100 mA
Radar level VEGAPULS C21	-	35 mA	-
