DB9 Connector Power Supply
The POWER pin of the DB9 connector is a 12V power supply to power up one or more cameras. This line is protected by an automatic fuse (1 A). According to the PCI specification, it is not recommended to consume more than 500 mA (at 12 V). The voltage on POWER pin can be configured to provide 5 V instead of 12 V. The voltage options are activated using two different ways.
Power Supply = +12V
This is the default factory setting.
- Jumpers: to install the +12V power supply, insert a jumper at the "+12V" location on Picolo (connecting the 2 bottom pins).
- Solder bridges: to install the +12V power supply, establish a solder connection at the "+12V" location on Picolo and remove any connection at location "+5V". (This setting should be done by a qualified technician.)
Power Supply = +5V
- Jumpers: to install the +5V power supply, insert a jumper at the "+5V" location on Picolo (connecting the 2 upper pins).
- Solder bridges: to install the +5V power supply, establish a solder connection at the "+5V" location on Picolo and remove any connection at location "+12V". (This setting should be done by a qualified technician.)
