1.2 Connectors and their Pinouts
All of VersaSync's connectors are provided at the front panel of the unit, below the Status
LEDs.

3 VStandby (10 to 32 V)
4 GND (to Standby)
5 GND (to Main)
This product is designed to handle a maximum voltage of up to 32 VDC. Power supplies
with higher voltage or transient/ cranking power will require a power conditioner or surge
blocker.
Caution: Reversed polarity can blow an internal fuse that protects the
product from damage. Use care when building power cables.
1.2 Connectors and their Pinouts
VersaSync Getting Started Guide Rev. 8 3

Test any new cables to safely power the unit before connecting your VersaSync to any
other inputs or outputs (such as a GNSS antenna), and before grounding your unit to a
vehicle.
1.2.2 Input/Output Connector
VersaSync has a 26- pin input/output connector that offers 8 software- configurable
CHANNELS, plus one fixed DCLS channel, and a USB interface. To learn more about types
of interfaces and signals, and how to configure them, see "Assigning I/O Pins" on page21.
