CONNECTING CABLES AND POWER LEADS 

 

 

 

Connect the cables between the parallel port and the camera. We advise you to execute this 

operation with all the equipment turned off, for safety reasons! 
The connectors are fixed with screws, which should be tightened only slightly to avoid any 

damages. For the Discovery series, the power connector is connected to a 10-15V 3A power 
supply. The camera is always turned on at the power supply. 

 

 
Before making any connection, make sure that your computer and the power supply are turned off!
