E-Sync external sync signal type

Hi,
We would like to feed the E-Sync module with an external signal to sync cameras. Which input can be used voltage wise if our sync signal is on a RS-232 cable ?
Thanks,
Remi

Hi Remi,
Thank you for posting. Do you know the voltage of the source of the signal?
Best Regards,

it is RS-232, so I think it is -12 V to +12 V.

Dear Sanscart,
The RS232 spec also allows voltages higher than this. We recommend measuring the voltage of the signal on a scope to be safe.
Our recommended approach would be to run their RS232 signal into a RS232 level shifter, and connect the output of the level shifter to the Isolated input of the eSync.
Best Regards,
