Digital-to-analog converter boxes (DTAs) must meet both On and Sleep Mode requirements and incorporate an auto-power down feature after four hours or less of user inactivity to earn the ENERGY STAR.
Mode | Power Consumption under Test Conditions Effective Date: January 31, 2007 |
---|---|
On Mode* | less than or equal to 8 watts |
Sleep Mode | less than or equal to 1 watt |
DTAs may come out of Sleep Mode in order to scan for program and system information or private data (PSIP). When doing so, DTAs may exceed the 1 watt Sleep Mode requirement for no longer than one hour in an eight hour period. If the 1 watt Sleep Mode requirement is exceeded for longer than this, the DTA will not be eligible to qualify for ENERGY STAR.
