Power consumption

I'm seeing 0.25a @ 30v when the unit first powers on.  I se e 0.17a when it's idle and 0.20a when it's under load doing a wireless link test.  This was all done in the office where it's a nice 70F+.

Reading through the documents I see the unit has a heater that will be used under 14F.  Does anyone know the power consumption in this condition?

Josh, 

When the heater is running, 12W of power is consumed. Assuming a 30V power supply, that's around 400 mA. 

The heater runs only to raise the temperature before startup. Once the board has warmed up and ready to boot, the heater shuts down. 

Thanks,
