Re: Eclair Cameras: Power Handle plug wiring

[Mark <super16acl@aol.com>]

Because it is a simpe two-wire on/off deal, I believe that which wires go to 
which pins won't matter. But to be extra cautious, do a quick half-second 
"on-then-off test" just to make sure ... and have an extra fuse around.  But I 
honestly don't think that you have anything to worry about. Anyone else know for 
certain??? M.

PS - The only reason I'm advocating caution is because I believe that the ACL 
body itself carries negative current, kind of like an automobile ---- however 
I imagine that the Lemo receptor in the camera's base would be insulated from 
contact with the body ... but I don't know for certain. I actually have a 
handle-Lemo somewhere, snipped off of an ACL II handgrip (I switched over to BNC 
connectors for use with my custom battery holder), and if I can find it I'll 
look and see how the colored wires were hooked up (but don't lose sleep waiting 
for me to find it). But again, I seriously doubt it will be an issue.
