(1) Trickle power: In TricklePower mode, the
power to is cycled periodically, so that it
operates only a fraction of the time.
REB-2100 has the default trickle power
parameters: OnPeriod: 300ms, Update
rate: 1 second. REB-12R2 does not

navigation update. The duty cycle of trickle
power is determined by setting of “Update Rate”
and “On Time”. For example, if the “Update
Rate” is 1 sec and “On time” is 200ms, the duty
