Connecting the Power Supply

Your RevPi Connect is factory equipped with a so-called X4 connector for the power supply.

To connect the power supply, you also need:

  • Power supply unit (available in our shop).
    The power supply unit must have at least 11 W.
  • Wiring, cross section 0.35 … 2.5 mm2 (AWG22 … AWG14)
  • Connect terminals 1 and 2 to your power supply unit.

This connector can also enable or disable the watchdog on all RevPi Connect except RevPi Connect 4.

The watchdog is factory disabled on all RevPi Connect except RevPi Connect 4 by means of a jumper cable between ground and WD terminal. Without this cable it is enabled.
