phil_dickinson Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 External exposure is between pins 1 and 3. External power is between pins 1 and 5. What is the purpose of pin 4? It seems to connect to the positive side of the motor. Any ideas?<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

francisco_disilvestro Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 <p>It seems to me that pins 1 and 5 allow you to power an external accesory. To charge the battery you use pins 1 and 4. The diode connected to pin 5 will not allow you to charge the battery using pins 1 and 5</p> <p>Regards</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q.g._de_bakker Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 No recharging. The camera uses 5 AA batteries. If you would put rechargeable batteries in it, you'll need a separate battery charger to recharge them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_dickinson Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 The 500el/m circuit is the same, except it doesn't have the diode to prevent charging. This diode would be necessary to prevent an earlier charger being used, and potentially doing damage. The 500el/m circuit also has pin 4 the same. It must have a use! Lol.
