2-46 / Installation & Operation CI-ControlWave EFM
Bulk +6/12Vdc Supply Current = CPU* + Sum of all ECOM Modules, I/O Modules, optional
Boards & Optional External Modem/Radio
This summation will accommodate steady state current draw. Table 2-16 provides detailed
steady state power current requirements for each ControlWave EFM Base Assembly
module. Note: In the case of an external modem/radio, the unit’s manufacturer provides
power consumption specifications. Power requirements for the optional Digital to Relay I/O
Board, 21V Power Supply Board and the Battery Charger/Power Manager Board are
provided in Sections 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7 (respectively) of this manual.

2.3.9.2 Power Wiring
DC Power is interconnected to the System Controller Module (SCM) on Connector TB1. One
Bulk DC supply can be connected to the ControlWave EFM SCM. The Bulk DC supply
(nominally +6Vdc or +12Vdc) connected to TB1-1 (+VIN on SCM) is converted, regulated
and filtered by the SCM to produce +3.3Vdc. This SCM circuit is fused at 1A. The operating
range of the SCM is +4.5/4.9Vdc to +16.0Vdc (nominal +6Vdc input source) or +9.6/10.3Vdc
to +16.0Vdc (nominal +12Vdc input source).
SCM Connector TB1 provides 3 input connections for bulk power as follows:
TB1-1 = (+VIN) (+4.5/4.9V to +16V dc for +6V bulk) (+9.6/10.3V to +16V dc for +12V bulk)
TB1-2 = (-VIN) (Supply Ground)
TB1-3 = Chassis Ground - CHASSIS
