Survey3 PRO - Cables

All Survey3 PRO cameras contain a 6 position (pin) m12 industrial IP67 male (M) plug. The port on the camera is male (M) and the connecting cable is female (F)

The m12 pin assignment is as follows:

Pin Position	Wire Color	Signal Name
1	Brown	Power 5V
2	White	Ground (Power)
3	Blue	GNSS (GPS) RX
4	Black	Trigger (PWM)
6	Grey	Exposure (Strobe)
7	Pink	Ground (Signal)

Here is a drawing showing pin position of the camera's m12 male (M) port:

Increasing Cable Length:

Our standard maximum cable length is 5 meters. You can increase the length by first connecting the 5m m12(F) to m12(M) cable version to the camera and then the appropriate terminating end afterwards.

You can also order the terminating end in the shortest length possible (1.5m) and then add those to the 5m m12(F) to m12(M) cable depending on your application. So then you're default length would be 6.5m long.

Cable Versions:

We offer a few variations of Survey3 PRO cables to complement your configuration:

m12(F) to DAQ-A

Use this m12 female (F) cable to connect directly to our DAQ-A. Power must be supplied to the DAQ-A at its side USB micro port. This is known as a "Power to Camera" DAQ-A cable.

m12(F) to DAQ-A Cable

m12(F) to USB (PWR) + TRIG + EXP

Use this m12 female (F) cable to connect to USB power and standard servo PWM trigger and relay exposure pulse connections. The GNSS (GPS) wire is available and does not have a connector installed.

m12(F) to Wires

Use this m12 female (F) cable to make your own custom cables. Refer to the wire color and signal names above.

m12(F) to Wires Cable

m12(F) to m12(M)

Use this m12 female (F) to m12 male (M) cable to extend the length of the other cable versions.

Choose the shortest 1.5m length in the other terminating cables and connect it to this 5 meter long m12(F) to m12(M) cable. Then you'll have a default length of 6.5 meters, with the ability to exchange various terminating ends.
