Appendix L. RF401/RF411 Average Current Drain Calculations
EXAMPLE #3 (Base RF401/RF411 in “<0.4 mA, 8 sec Delay” standby mode)
The RF401/RF411s in this example are configured for the lowest possible
average standby mode current (Advanced Setup Menu selection 7). The same
amount and frequency of data are collected as in Example 1.
It = Is + Ih + Iq + Ir + Ii
Calculating each term:
Is = table mA value = 0.4 mA
It ≈ 12.4 mA
