Polarity Powering KC868-A8 - Nachuertas - 09-23-2025
Hi,
I've been looking into using a DIN +12V DC power source for the KC868-A8, and I noticed that the new KC868-A6v3 is advertised with the comment: "new protection circuit to prevent power polarity from burning out."
This got me thinking—what would happen if I accidentally reversed the polarity on the KC868-A8?
Would it burn out immediately? Would it simply not work?
Does the KC868-A8 have any protection against this kind of mistake?
Thanks

KC868-A8v3 have updated hareware for this.
KC868-A8 old version, don't reversed the polarity.

Ok, thank you. Please, could you share about the expected behaviour in case of a polarity mistake in KC868-A8?
