Illuminator wiring#
Parameter |
Requirement / Action |
|---|---|
Voltage |
24V DC (±10%). Minimum operating voltage: 20V DC at the light input. |
Connector |
M12 Male. Note To connect the toplight, its power cable can also be purchased. |
Connector pinout |
Pin 1: +24V (brown) — Pin 3: GND (blue) — Pin 4: STROBE PNP (black) |
STROBE mode (PNP) |
From 5V to 24V for 100% ON. From 0V to 1V for 100% OFF. |
CONTINUOUS mode |
Pin 1 (+24V) and Pin 3 (GND) connected; Pin 4 (PNP) connected to Pin 1. |
Voltage drop (M12 cable, 10m) |
1.15V @ 5A — 2.3V @ 10A — 3.5V @ 15A — 4.6V @ 20A (max 20A) |
Shielding |
Use shielded cables to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI). |
