include an internal battery, but our battery will be available with a case that attaches to
the side of the nanoFlash.
136. What is the power input requirement and the connector specification?
The nanoFlash consumes about 6.0 watts active / 0.2 watts standby.
Power Connector
Viewed from Back of nanoFlash
Pin 1 = Power
Pin 2 = Power
Pin 3 = Ground
Pin 4 = Ground
The corresponding power plug connector is a Hirose HR10A-7P-4S(73) (Solder
Version) or HR10A-7P-4S(73) (Crimp Version), available from www.digikey.com.
The input voltage range is +6.5V to +19.5V DC. The nanoFlash does have an internal
resettable fuse and overvoltage / reverse voltage protection.
137. Does the nanoFlash have internal temperature monitoring?
Yes, the nanoFlash has an internal temperature monitoring, which is displayed on the
system menu. The internal video processor chip will automatically shut down at
approximately 100 degrees C, which is far beyond normal operating range (even in the
desert).
138. Can I power / mount nanoFlash to an Anton Bauer / IDX battery?
You can power the nanoFlash via a D-Tap to 4-pin Hirose cable, available from
Convergent Design. We have various mounting plates for these batteries.
139. Can nanoFlash operate off the 7.2V / 14.4V Lithium Ion battery on my camcorder?
Yes, provided your camera has a power outlet, but you will likely need to increase your
battery size to accommodate both your camera and the nanoFlash. The nanoFlash
draws about 1.0/0.5 amp from a 7.2/14.4V battery in active state and 0.030/0.015 amps
in standby state.
140. Can nanoFlash be used in high vibration applications (race cars, airplanes,
helicopters, etc)?
