Appendix C: External Power Cable Sets
Software Bisque sells “sets of two cables” that can be used to supply power to a camera that is mounted
on the optical tube assembly using the standard power supply from the manufacturer in conjunction
with the External Power connectors on the Electronics Box (page 49) and the Instrument Panel (page
44).
The External Power connectors on the Instrument Panel and on the Electronics Box
do not
supply power
nor do they have anything to do with the Paramount MX power supply.
These connectors act as a conduit to route an external power source that is connected to
External Power connector located Electronics Box to the External Power connector in the
Instrument Panel.
External Power Cable Sets can be purchased from the Software Bisque Store for Apogee/QSI cameras,
SBIG ST-7 series (6-pin DIN) or ST-L series cameras (5-pin DIN). A “generic” cable set is available for
conversion from other power sources and camera.
One end of the “bottom” cable plugs into the camera manufacturer’s power connector and the other
end plugs into the External Power connector on the Electronics Box. One end of the “top” cable plugs
into the External Power connector on the Instrument Panel and the other into the camera body.
