1. Establish the RS232 Connection
A three position receptacle is used for the RS232 connec-
tions for TXD, RXD, and Ground. The adapter supplied in
the Pearl OEM Camera Kit has a RS232 connector on one
end. Use a standard RS232 cable to connect between the
adapter and the host computer.

A four position plug provides a connection for power and
video output. Connect the power lead to a power supply
capable of a voltage between 9 and 20 Volts. A DC power
with video adapter to 4 pin cable is provided in the Pearl
OEM Camera Kit.
3. Establish Optional Video Connection
A second video connection is available on the Pearl OEM
camera using the BNC Jack on the back panel. Either connect
a video cable with the BNC-to-RCA adapter, which is provided
in the Pearl OEM Camera Kits, or use a BNC cable to connect
the Video-Out BNC Jack to a video input on a monitor.
