TenTec Triton IV 544 6-PIn Power Pin-Out?

[Al Parker]

Hi Doc,
    One of us must be dyslexic.   The GND is in the center, and yes, 2
pins across from each other are wired together for GND & 12V to give twice
the contact area for the high current, to reduce voltage drop.  Use #12
wire for the cable if you have it, no lighter than #14 if it's a short
run, less than 3 ft. (been there, got the T-shirt)
    Maybe Dave's pic will show it better.
73,
Al
