Hello from the UK! All the best for the new year. I hope I may be able to help some folk on here but for now I have a question -
Would anyone be able to tell me the pinouts for the 6 pin hirose connector on the Trimble S6? Its the power connector I am interested in. Trying to power off an external source but don't fancy zapping the instrument by trial and error.
Here is a diagram with the ribs showing and the pins numbered.
Do you have an external S6 battery cable and a multimeter? If so, set the multimeter to continuity testing (omega symbol ?), then put one probe in the red battery clamp, and check each of your pins. If you get a beep on a pin, that's your positive. Now do the black clamp, find the pins that beeps.. that's your negative.
I don't own a S-series instrument, but would definitely test a known cable with a multimeter rather than trusting a wiring diagram on the web.. I've seen them be wrong before.
Good luck.
Thanks that's what I would definitely do if I had one, but I don't.
I am trying to locate someone locally who may have one but no success so far.
Now that is good advice!
I once changed the fuel pump in a mini van. Dropped the tank, and pulled it. I did it "by the book".
The book was wrong.
I had to drop it, check polarity, and re install it.
Life is like that.
With an S-6, I would not trust alot. I'd test it.
Typical would be 20v dc on the first time around. Just looking to establish + and -. Then, probably there is 2 or 3 grounds. But not all grounds can handle the same current. Some may be fused grounds. (On the instrument side) So, I'd be a lookin careful!

Hi, I have the answer but for the other 6 pin hirose socket (COM).
Just putting it out there if anyone else comes looking.
This is a USB connector and the pins are as follows -
1 Data+
2 Data-
3 not used
4 Vcc +5V
5 not used
6 Ground
The view is of the hirose socket from the outside of the instrument.
Once I've broke the Topcon Hiper SR charger with the Hirose connector as shown above. I asked Service Center about the pinout to fix it. Then I fixed my charger and it works well.
Pinout as follows: (note that hirose grounding not used)
