1		-I went through a similar analysis with our team’s own reporting of issues with 3 GLS-ODT-C-CNs on projects.  Don’t know if the problem is due to a material change mid-production or has always been incorrect but it is problem with shipping hardware.
	1	+=== Note on GLS-ODT-C-NS Power Draw ===
2	2
	3	+The listed power draw for GLS-ODT-C-NS sensors is 45mA at 24VDC, however Chief Integrations' testing with shipped hardware shows the real-world power draw to be closer to 60mA. While GLPP modules are able to provide 150mA at 24VDC for sensors, this is insufficient for real-world applications involving more than two GLS-ODT-C-NS occupancy sensors.

4		-Crestron has had the specs on the GLS-ODT-C-NS sensors wrong and we haven’t been able to get them corrected.  The sensors actually draw ~~60mA.  We’ve done a number of jobs with GLPPs that don’t perform correctly because of the over-current situation created by 3 or more GLS-ODT-C-CNs attached to a GLPP.  Last I heard Crestron tech support was acknowledging 3 sensors was too many on the GLPP and was advising TR-100s or other external power if more than 2 sensors were used.
	5	+As such, Chief Integrations recommends adding a TR-100 or other external power supply if more than two sensors are required to be added to one GLPP.

7		-Here's an analysis we’ve performed with our own inventory of hardware:
	9	+The below measurements were taken with GLS-ODT-C-NS (SN 15772519) attached to a GLPP-1DIMFLV2CN-PM (SN 17386110) with ~~1’ of wire using a Pokit portable oscilloscope in line to capture the current.  The initial soft start (~~270ms) is followed by full operation which draws ~~60mA.  60mA average consumption is fairly stable for the remainder of the sensor’s runtime.  PIR, US A and B are enabled as are the LEDs on this unit.  Turning off some of those functions may reduce the current consumption but we have not measured them.  Similar measurements were obtained with a Fluke 189 DMM so we know this Pokit capture is accurate.  Alternative measurements were taken with an HP 6632A DC power supply as the 24VDC power source and similar readings were produced and confirmed by the power supply’s internal meter.
