Power consumption of certain MOTU hardware

[bnf]

Hi everyone!

This is my first post in this forum, so hello everyone!

Let's attack the topic straight away!

What I find very strange (end even unprofessional!) is that MOTU doesn't provide any data on (max/typical) power consumption or even heat dissipation for their hardware products. Since a lot of them can be rack mounted this is only logical, in my opinion.

So, I've done a lot of searching (yes, even on this forum) but found data in question nowhere.

In order for our company to calculate appropriate rack ventilation we need to know how much power do V4HD and 24 I/O consume (and/or BTU/h) (max) values. Since we have 2 V4HD's and 5 24 I/O's in our racks (among other equipment) this is a crucial piece of information, wouldn't you think?

I think that's something that should be included in tech specs by default.

So, can anyone help me with the data on power consumption for V4HD and 24 I/O?

Thank you for your help!

So, noone can help?

Anyone from MOTU around?

Please, can anyone help on the matter, because I need to close a project of rack ventilation and it's the only thing that's missing. I know their power consumption is not very high, but I wouldn't like to put any estimation of my own in the document ...

I tried to contact MOTU's tech support, but you need to first put in all the equipment you have from them (with serial numbers and all that) in order to even get to the point where you describe what you want from them ...

Anyone have any other contacts, like direct emails uf their support?

Thanks again for any help!

OK, update:

I found out there's a sticker with a serial nr on each V4HD and 24I/O, but it's on the bottom side of the unit ... So, I was lucky to be able to see one on the V4HD, but not on 24IO, because they are already installed and working and I can't see/reach between them.
I don't know why MOTU didn't includ that data in technical specs, but they did it on the unit itself. What if someone would want to build a system and needs to know this beforehand, because there will also be UPS and ventilation ...

For anyone who cares: power consumption of V4HD is 45 W.

But I still need the one for 24 I/O.

Why don't you just put an ammeter in a series circuit?

For example, one lead goes to the wall socket and the other to one of the legs on the power supply. Then a single wire from other wall socket direct to the other leg of power supply.

That will tell you amperage.

Amps x volts = power (watts)

Seems like a simple process for a company that needs to know something important to it.
