Help wiring the Axis 206 to the PDB.

[Mark McLeod]

The Digital Sidecar requires 12v and should be powered from a small set of red/black wago connectors on the Power Distribution Panel

The special 5v connector is for the camera.

You can see in the Power Wiring Diagram (found on the FIRST Kit of Parts website) where everything is supposed to go.

Wow... we have been wiring it wrong for years then since it says 5v on our sidecar....

I haven't heard that one before.
What caused you to pick out the 5v label from the middle of the other labels?

BAT 5v 6v


(BAT by the way stands for the 12v battery)

Questions on wiring the camera came up in our build session. Using the power diagram mentioned earlier in the thread, we did wire the camera's power to the 5v connection on the PDB (power distribution board). However, I thought it used a WAGO type connector. It didn't work.

The electrical team decided that it was okay to just wire in the camera directly into the 5v connector without any type of module.

QUESTION: Do you know if there is connector/module that is to be used to power the camera?

For example, we use the WAGO part for the power connector to the DLink: http://www.andymark.com/ProductDetai...Code=am%2D0296

The camera wires directly into the 5v gray built-in wago connector on the Power Distribution Panel. That gray piece is itself a wago connecter, not a place to plug in a white wago connector.

On the the Power Distribution Panel, the lone white wago plug is only used for connecting the 12v-to-5v converter for the DLink.
