x Total power consumption is the sum of the Active and Quiescent
Power
Total power = Quiescent Power + Active Power
Total power = 0.1418 Amp-Hours/Day + 0.0917 Amp-Hours/Day
Total power = 0.2335 Amp-Hours/Day

18. CR1000 Interface Guide
The CCFC can interface to the CR1000 using the RS-232 (default) or RS-485.
The RS-232 configuration is the simplest option as it does not require an
additional hardware interface (see Section 13 RS-232 Communications). The
pigtail end of the CCFC Power & I/O cable can be terminated directly to the
CR1000 wiring panel control ports (COM1-4). Refer to Section 8
Cables/Wiring for wiring details.
The CCFC RS-485 interface can also be used, but does require the use of an
MD485 interface to provide conversion of the RS-485 signal (see Section 14
RS-485 Communications). The MD485 can connect to the CR1000 using the
CS I/O port or the RS-232 port. Refer to the MD485 manual for additional
information.
18.1 CR1000 Memory Setup
To facilitate the storage of photos, a CFM100 allows the use of a compact flash
card on the CR1000. Memory can also be allocated from the CR1000 internal
memory to create a virtual user drive – USR. Entering a non-zero value for the
parameter USR:drive size allocates internal memory for the drive. The amount
of memory required varies depending on each application. A good number to
