A.1

Power Supply Connector

The power supply plugs are available from Binder connectors at www.binder-connector.de. Fig.
A.2 shows the power supply plug from the solder side. The pin assignment of the power supply
plug is given in Table A.2.

It is extremely important that you apply the appropriate voltages to your camera.
Incorrect voltages will damage or destroy the camera.
