    Gecko wiring question

    Hi All:
    I am in the midst of wiring Gecko G201's and have noticed that terminal 10 is marked "common" instead of "5VDC" as in the documentation. Is anyone familiar with this discrepancy and can someone tell me just where to connect this terminal?
    Thanks

    Hey Lew!
    Common is the 5 volt input. Don't ask me why it is labeled that way. ON my G320's I get the 5 volts from my computer power supply. Just used a USB cable with only the 5 volts hooked up. I know there are other ways to do it but it worked for me!
    Have a nice day and good luck.

    Thanks for the info. I did see elsewhere in some posts that "common" and +5VDC were used interchangeably.
    I did need some degree of confidence. So, thanks again for the quick reply.
