  3. If your device is configured with the DC Power option, a PCB containing a LiPo battery will be connected to the device with a 5-pin harness as shown:


Connecting an external supply to the DC Power board

Always disconnect power to the device when using metal screw drivers on the PCBs to prevent any shorting from occurring

Make sure that the power supply is switched off during wiring

Supply voltage should be 10-30 Volts DC with a 2 Amp current capability

  1. Open the device as explained in Opening and Closing

  2. To connect an external supply to your device, first pass the supply cable through the cable gland

  3. Connect the positive and negative wires to the terminal block on the DC Power board using the SL1.8 screw driver as shown:


  4. Switch on the power supply and check that the LEDs (blue and red) on the DC Power board light up as shown:
