Powering the JNSGyro-4T

2

Powering the JNSGyro-4T 

You can power your JNSGyro-4T with an external power source. The 
appropriate external power source must p6 to +32 V DC to operate the 
system and must be able to supply sufficient current (3.0 Amp) to operate the 
JNSGyro-4T system.

On the back panel of the JNSGyro-4T, there is the power connector, marked 

PWR

. Connect an appropriate cable to this connector to power your unit.

Figure 2-1. Powering JNSGyro-4T

Warning:

Before connecting the external power source and the 
JNSGyro-4T, make sure that the power source 
matches the unit’s voltage and current requirements.

Turning On/Off the JNSGyro-4T

To turn ON, push on the 

ON/OFF button

. To turn OFF, press and hold the 

ON/OFF

 button for more than one second and less than 1.5 second (until 

LEDs are off). This delay (about 1 second) prevents the unit from being 
turned off by a mistake.
