This step may be omitted if you are absolutely certain that you can not possibly apply reverse polarity supply to the camera, when observing at 3am on a cold winter morning when using mittens. (been there, done that ) The socket comes with 3 terminals.

Assembly of the TACOS WAT-910BD Housing v2 f) Connect the Camera Control Harness and the Power Harness to the PCB sockets. The plugs have tiny keys that locate into the socket to ensure the plug is inserted correctly. Insert each plug and apply gentle pressure and you should feel the plug snap in.
Using the 4x M2x6 Stainless Steel Cap Screws, fit and secure the cover. Assembly of the WAT-910BD-TACOS camera is complete. IMPORTANT : Please read the TACOS_WAT-910BD_IntroAndInstall Manual BEFORE plugging the camera into the USB port of your computer. Appendix A) WAT-910BD-TACOS Kit – Packing List Page 10...
