How do I energize my Infill G4 outside my car? (Power supply)

[Cassidy]

Hey guys,

I have an Infill G4, which I just dismounted from my Chevy Express Van, because I needed to install a TMC feature

So I thought: "Well, take this chance and make a complete new installation of the G4 at your desk in your office."

But: How can I energize the Infill to run outside of my car? What power supply do I need?

All the best to all of you.

How about 12V dc? probably 5A is enough

[Cassidy]

Ok, i am a nerd in this, sorry...

So I need a 12V dc external power supply, right?

And how do I have to do the wiring?
Do I need to cut off the end of the 12V DC ? How many wires will I find? Which wire do I have to connect to which wire from the Infill ?

Thanks

So, finally I found it out by myself.
Maybe there is someone out there who is also looking for this.

This is it:
1. Use a normal PC power supply; but it won't work outside the PC just like that.

2. Have a paper clip ready (or any wire)

3. Look at the 24/20 PIN adapter of the PC power supply (the biggest adapter)

4. Put the one end of the paper clip into the PIN with the green wire (i.e. PIN 14) and the other end into a PIN with a black wire.

5. Test/Turn on the power supply, it should work now (Bridge). Turn it off again. Unplug it again.

6. Cut off the end of the 12V wire of the power supply, that is the 4 PIN interface. If you are not sure go to the website of your power supply manufacturer.
Here is a picture how it looks like:


3. Connect the yellow wire of the Infill with the yellow wire of the power supply.

4. Connect also the red wire of the Infill with the yellow wire of the power supply.

5. Connect the black wire of the infill with the black wire of the power supply.

6. Start the power supply.

7. Start the Infill.

8. It should work now.

This is how it worked with mine. Hope I could help somebody, but I have to point out that you do everything on your own risk. I am not an electrician or expert in this. Don't blame me if your infill explodes.
Maybe there is some electrician out there who can just confirm that this is done right.


Best wishes
