Key	Name	Description
1	Micro HDMI IN	For receiving video from the camera.
2	Power Connector	Input rating: 8-26 VDC (3−6 cells).
3	S.BUS/CAN bus or S.BUS/MAVLink	I/O port, connecting to the flight controller (CAN bus or MAVLink) and control of the camera gimbal (S.BUS). The cable for this port can support either of the following options: CAN bus-S.BUS: Allows both CAN bus telemetry input from the A2/NAZA flight controller (to be overlaid on the video via OSD) and S.BUS control output to the S.BUS input on the camera gimbal. S. BUS-MAVLink/Telemetry: Allows both MAVLink protocol input from Pixhawk/APM/ArduPilot flight controller (to be overlaid on the video via OSD) and S.BUS control output to the S.BUS input on the camera gimbal. The flight control data from the flight controller is overlaid on an On Screen Display (OSD). Telemetry information includes flight mode, number of connected GPS satellites, speed, height and more. To receive telemetry data on the Ground Unit, the Air Unit should be connected to the drone’s telemetry port. For more information, refer to Supported Remote Controls, Gimbals and Telemetry Flight Controllers. S.BUS properties can be configured using the CONNEX Management application for Windows / MAC or for Android devices. Note AMIMON recommends using the CONNEX link for gimbal control ONLY and NOT for full drone control. Note The CAN bus port and USB port (for firmware upgrade) should not be connected at the same time. Do not connect the S.BUS/CAN bus cable under voltage.
4	Tx Cable Antenna Ports	Two ports for connecting lightweight 2dbi cable antennas.
5	LEDs	For a description of the Air Unit LEDs, refer to LED Behavior in Setting up the CONNEX Mini Air Unit.
6	Link Button	The Air Unit is provided pre-paired (preregistered) with the Ground Unit that comes in the box. The Link button can be used to pair up to three additional Ground Units with the same Air Unit. For a description of how to pair additional Ground Units with an Air Unit, refer to Multicasting to Multiple Ground Units.
7	Micro USB Port	This port enables configuration and upgrade of the Air Unit software using the CONNEX Management application for Windows / MAC or for Android devices.
