The SPA3 requires 30 W of power to support the controller functions integrated into the unit. This must be factored into the power supply used.

CAUTION: For ambient temperatures between 40 °C and 50 °C, the maximum output power should be 400 W. SPA3 is not recommended for use in ambient temperatures above 50 °C.
