Lemo connector pinout and designation for power distribution on camera stages
18 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The Ultra 1 stage uses a 3-pin Lemo connector with pin 1 for ground, pin 2 for 13.2 VDC, and pin 3 for 28.8 VDC battery power.
- The Ultra 2 stage uses a 3-pin Lemo connector with pin 1 for power ground, pin 2 for 12V battery (either direct or from DC-DC converter depending on mode), and pin 3 for 24V battery from two sled batteries in series.
- The Archer stage is a 12V only system, making pin 3 of its power connector inoperative.
- The matching Lemo plug designation for the Archer stage power output is FGG.OB.303.CLAD52.
Depends on
- Ultra designations may not match Archer exactly despite similar architecture.
- Power ground and video ground connections depend on internal jumper settings on the control board.
- The thread does not confirm the exact pinout for Archer, only extrapolates from Ultra models and notes that pin 3 is unused.
