Powering an M2 sled with 24V from a Volt device and cable compatibility
What the thread found
- A Volt device with a 12/24V setup will only deliver 24V power if the connecting cable is specifically wired for 24V operation
- The cable wiring can be verified by removing the lemo connector and checking the internal pin configuration, where a 24V capable cable will have an open port designated for 24V
- Power output can be confirmed by using a multimeter to measure voltage at the power ports
Depends on
- The original question asks about switching an M2 sled from 12V to 24V but no definitive answer about potential issues with this specific transition was provided in the thread
- Only one user shared their experience with a Clipper 2 setup, which may differ from M2 sled requirements
- No information about whether the M2 sled itself supports 24V operation
