Test & Correct Activity Board Electical Connections

Test/Correct Electrical Connections

If you have not already done so, make sure your batteries are freshly charged. Follow the instructions on the charger case.
Follow the barrel plug power leads from the Activity Board to the Arlo power distribution board.
- Verify that the lead with the white stripes is connected to the +6.5V socket of the AUX terminal.
- Verify that the other lead (without the white stripes) is connected to the GND socket of the AUX terminal.
Turn on the Arlo’s Main power rocker switch.
Set the Activity Board’s 3-position power switch to 1.
Check if the Activity Board’s power light came on.
- Yes – the Activity Board’s power is connected correctly.
- No – turn all power switches off immediately.
Turn ARLO and Activity Board power back off.
If the Activity Board’s power light did not come on.
- Check your the barrel plug’s AUX connection, AUX connection fuse. If both are good, check your soldering.

Verify that one 3-wire cable connects the Activity Board’s P13 port to the DHB-10’s Ch2 port.
Verify that the other 3-wire cable connects the Activity Board’s P12 port to the DHB-10’s Ch1 port.
Check the cables in Activity Board’s P13 and P12 ports, both black wires should align with the GND label to the right of the servo ports.
Check the cables in the DHB-10’s Ch1 and CH2 ports. Both black wires should align with the B label next to the Ch2 port.
