Todd Pinder Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 I got and ESM awhile ago cheap, now I want to see if it works before investing in a battery and battery grip. Can anybody which one is positive negative? 12 volts?
Todd Pinder Posted January 25, 2020 Author Posted January 25, 2020 Also can I use a Bolex Battery container and charger? What cable do I need? I actually have an MST motor battery pack with fresh cells, it connects into that male port but no go. Manual online somewhere?
Jean-Louis Seguin Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 According to my notes, using the 3-pin connector as the power input, connect positive to pin 3 and negative to pin 2. Trigger the motor by depressing the release button on the front.
Todd Pinder Posted January 29, 2020 Author Posted January 29, 2020 Thanks Jean Louis!!! Would I be assuming correctly that the top pin is 3 and middle pin is 2? Looking at the second pic I attached. Just don't want to fry something or blow the fuse!
Jean-Louis Seguin Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 Actually I was mistaken. Ooops! positive is pin 3, the top one in your picture. pin 1 is negative, the bottom one. pin 2, in the middle, is only used with a remote release accessory.
Todd Pinder Posted January 29, 2020 Author Posted January 29, 2020 Will report back! Hopefully with the news my ESM is working!
Pablo Cruz Villalba Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Hello, what results did you get? Where did you find the 3-pin power cable?
