Using the external DC power supply

co_body_extention_ext_dc_power

Connect the external DC power supply to the <DC IN> terminal of the camera extension module.

Turn on the power switch of the external DC power supply (if the external DC power supply has a power switch).

Supply power to the recording module.

Set the <POWER> of the recording module to <ON>.

Connect after making sure that the output voltage of the external DC power supply is compatible with the rated voltage of the device.

Select an output amperage for the external DC power supply with a margin above the total amperage of the connected devices.

The total amperage of connected devices can be calculated with the following formula.

Total power consumption ÷ voltage

When the power of the camera is turned on, inrush current is generated. Insufficient power supply when turning on the power may cause a malfunction. We recommend that you use an external DC power supply that can assure double the capacity of the total power consumption of this device and connected devices that are turned on by interlock when the power of the device is turned on (such as lenses). For the DC cable, use a dual-core shielded wire of AWG16 (nominal cross section area 1.309 mm2) or thicker.

  • Make sure of the pin alignment of the DC output terminal of the external DC power supply and the <DC IN> terminal of the device, and connect the polarity correctly.

    Making the mistake of connecting a +12 V power supply to the GND terminal may cause fire or malfunction.
