I have measured an actual consumption of 5.18W using a meter. I recorded 129 watt-hours over a 24 hour period.   Carlos-   If you want to prove it, get a $150 Brand Electonics Model 4-1850 Digital Power Meter (http://brandelectronics.com/meters.html) and hook it up. Of course, uou will need to get a 220V model - I think you need to call them for this. This will even let you input the Kw/hr cost so you can keep a running tally. This is a very handy tool to have in your arsenal.   At 5 cents per Kw/hr, your electricity cost will be under a penny a day - about $2.35 per year.   I pay almost 30 cents per Kw/hr where I am, so I know what everything I use draws...   Jason -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nish Park Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2003 11:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] APPO Power consumption Actual power consumption of the radio is only about 3W (5V and 700 mA).   Nish     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Carlos Seoane Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2003 10:47 PM To: 'Smb List' Subject: [smartBridges] APPO Power consumption   Hi,   I'm going to put a pair of APPO's in a tower. If I need to calculate how much electricity they consume, how would I calculate that? I have a pretty basic idea, but I'd like to be able to tell the tower owner how much electricity exactly I'm spending.    Let's say that, for the sake of clarity, that the Kw/hr costs 5 cents. I have the unit on 24 x 7, during 1 week. The power adapter specs are 220V, 0.5A (this is Europe...), so that makes 110W .       Thanks.
