How do I use my USB PD to XT30 Adapter?

These adapters are one part of a power solution for your equipment. They allow you to provide 5V-20V from a USB PD power source for your equipment. Using USB PD 3.0 these are programmed to a range voltage outputs to suit a variety of users.

USB PD Power Supply and USB C Cable

You’ll need to provide a USB PD power supply and USB C-C cable with the appropriate rating:

• 5V, 9V or 15V: up to 3A output with a 60W+ USB PD Power Supply, and a 60W E-Marked USB cable
• 20V: up to 5A with a 100W+ USB PD Power Supply, and a 100W E-Marked USB cable

Device Cables

• We offer a XT30 to 4-pin Microfit cable suited for the Freefly Ember cameras and Pilot Pro controller.
• 3rd party devices – You’ll also need a cable to connect to your device. The adapter has a female XT30 connector, so your cable needs to have a XT30 male connector.

LED Indicator on Adapter

When connected to a USB PD power supply and your equipment the LED will tell you how many amps are being supplied, based on the input.

• Green LED means 3A+ is negotiated and being supplied to your equipment.
• Blue LED means 0.5A+ is negotiated and being supplied to your equipment.
• No LED means the USB power supply does not support the adapter voltage.

Using with Freefly Equipment

• For Ember S5K or S2.5K:
  • 100W+ USB PD power supply to see a Green LED with the 20V adapter.
• For Pilot Pro:
  • 60W+ USB PD power supply to see a Green LED with the 15V adapter.

Using with 3rd Party Equipment

Make sure that your equipment input voltage range is matched with the USB PD to XT30 Adapter. Also, the max input capacitance of connected 3rd party devices: 400uF.
