Unless you have ordered a spare, the FT-512 as a pair, come with a basic
configuration, ready to operate. The remaining part of this section will show you
how to get started with that basic configuration.
2.4.1 Power connections to the FT-512

Be sure to size the power supply adequately. CWT recommends at least 4 times
the consumption. This product alone will consume about 2 Watts. Using Ohms
law, if you provide 12 volts DC you would be consuming 2/12 of an Amp or ~ 167
ma. If you provide 24 volts DC you would use ~ half of that or 85 ma. The power
supply with battery backup sold by CWT is rated at 13.8 volts DC @ 1 Amp or 14
watts.
