[CA] Axiom 7 power consumption?

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

herisson,

Per the spec, the full brightness is indeed be 2.5A (approx. 30W as you have suggested) for the Axiom 7 Chartplotter configured for Full Brightness. The default setting of the MFD's backlight is full brightness and the specified full brightness power specification would typically be used for operation of the product under daylight conditions. Power Save mode is simply a mode whereby the MFD's backlight circuit, the most power consuming component within the Axiom 7 Chartplotter, is switched OFF while the MFD's processor and communications circuitry remains active. When in Power Save Mode, the LCD's image may not be viewed. While not specified, the power consumption for Power Save mode should be very similar to that of the a-Series MFDs. A request will be submitted to the engineering team to provide information for the power consumption of Axiom MFDs operating in Power Save mode. Upon receiving this information, this post will be updated accordingly.
