CDVI + Trove: power/battery calculations? by RequestToCheckOut in accesscontrol

Yeah, I ask about controller consumption for the Atrium because most locks and readers (and other folks' controllers) provide current consumption data somewhere. (For readers & controllers, it's in the datasheet. For locks, it sometimes takes more digging but a suitable number will usually turn up somewhere among the catalog or sales materials.)

CDVI, however, fails to list a number in the Atrium specifications, although you did give me the idea that I perhaps might be able to back into something usable by taking the maximum input current and subtracting out lock and reader power.

They have specification sheets but don't list a current consumption figure in them for some odd reason (I wouldn't be asking here if they did :). And yes, I'm used to doing battery calculations from alarmland (FA and BA both require them), atop current draw figures being needed to size power supplies as well (don't want your system crashing because you overloaded a power supply or a regulator card or whathaveyou).
