Power Requirements
IMPORTANT: For operating the 3M WS Aware Workstation Monitor with a power adapter, use
only the adapter provided by the manufacturer. Operation with a power supply not provided by or
expressly approved by 3M voids the warranty.
For powering the WS Aware monitor from DAQ or FMS, please follow the instructions below.
The WS Aware monitor requires clean DC voltage from 12V to 24V. Typical current consumption of
each unit is less than 150mA. Power can be provided either via power jack or via the data cable (See
Pinout of RJ45 Connector section). Please ensure that the power provided is reasonably free from
spikes, EMI and other noise. In an installation where a power supply provides power to more than just
WS Aware monitors, it is prudent to consider a separate power supply just for the network of WS Aware
monitor units. Contact the factory for specific recommendations.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT PROVIDE POWER SIMULTANEOUSLY FROM BOTH THE POWER JACK AND
THE CABLE!
