since there is no STL section, i hope it is acceptable to post this question in this STXL section... i would like to convert an STL power cable (cigarette lighter adapter) to an anderson powerpole connector. the wiring diagram indicates 6 connectors in the pinout. i don't want to start cutting it up until i understand what i am doing. when i opened the cigarette lighter adapter, it looked like two wires soldered to positive and 2 wires to negative -- i am not sure which was which and i don't know where the other 2 wires might be connected (of the 6 indicated on the pinout diagram) would appreciate some insight. thanks Lee
According to the STL power supply board schematic: Pins 1, 5, 6 are +12V. Pins 2, 3, 4 are ground return. Shell and Pin 7 are case ground (shield).
I made my own STL to Anderson power pole cable, using a DIN plug for the camera and 14 or 16Ga wire to 30A power poles. You might have to solder a number of smaller gauge wire to the DIN pins and then join them together. Works great. Don't destroy the cig lighter thing, you might want that for something in the future.
Will have a look for it, and it its not too difficult, will take a photo. I may have sealed it up though.
I wasn't comfortable trying it so I went with an adapter for the time being. http://www.westmountainradio.com/product_info.php?products_id=ppl-26 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Interesting. However my understanding is that the cigarette lighter cable doesn't work with the STXLs.
