NOTE 1: RMB30C and RMB30V boards need 2 power supplies; pin 6 (Vdd) needs 24 V and pin 1 (+5 V) 5 V. However, pins 1, 2 and 3
have been provided to allow easy connection to a 3 terminal regulator to generate 5 V from 24 V. Pin 2 (GND) is connected on
the PCB to pin 5 (GND), and pin 6 (Vdd) is connected via a diode on the board to pin 3, for reverse voltage protection.

NOTE 2: The SMD regulator supplied on these boards limits the supply voltage (Vdd) to 12 V (Vdd = 8 V to 12 V). If operation is required
at 24 V supply, then this regulator must be replaced by a more powerful off-board device (TO220 package) mounted to a
suitable heatsink.
