Note: For an MVS sensor, the typical mW per MVS is about 300 mW.
Duty Cycle
The duty cycle is the time on divided by the total time. For an MVS,
the sensor is always drawing power, so enter the duty cycle as “1” for
the MVS power calculations. The LEDs can also have an associated
duty cycle, which is essentially the percent of time that the LEDs are
active.
Duty Cycle = Active time ÷ (Active time + Inactive time)
For example, if the LEDs are on approximately 20 minutes a day:
Duty Cycle = 20 minutes ÷ (24
*
60 minutes in a day) = 20 ÷ 1440 = 0.014
