However, a dummy plug must be used to feed external voltage (pins A and C) into the LPRs system (pins E and F). This is constructed the same way as the previously described adapter, though without the option to plug a battery into it. This is to avoid confusion of attaching a battery inside the case and providing more parts that could break the system. 67 67 54 +[[image:https://auspass.edu.au/xwiki/bin/download/Instrumentation/Peripherals/WebHome/20250722_110302.jpg?width=198&height=130&rev=1.1||alt="20250722_110302.jpg" height="130" width="198"]] 55 + 56 + 68 68 = Cables = 69 69 70 -[[image:https://auspass.edu.au/xwiki/bin/download/Instrumentation/Peripherals/WebHome/posthole%20cable%202.jpg?rev=1.1||alt="posthole cable 2.jpg" height="575" width="565"]]59 +[[image:https://auspass.edu.au/xwiki/bin/download/Instrumentation/Peripherals/WebHome/posthole%20cable%202.jpg?rev=1.1||alt="posthole cable 2.jpg"]] 71 71 72 -[[image:https://auspass.edu.au/xwiki/bin/download/Instrumentation/Peripherals/WebHome/posthole%20cable.jpg?rev=1.1||alt="posthole cable.jpg" height="255" width="565"]]61 +[[image:https://auspass.edu.au/xwiki/bin/download/Instrumentation/Peripherals/WebHome/posthole%20cable.jpg?rev=1.1||alt="posthole cable.jpg"]] 73 73 74 74 |**Type**| 75 75 |**Weight**|1.0 Kg
