The manual on page 4-1 power supply description shows: -12.6 to Blue. Green to Ground, +12.6 out to Orange. +12.6 out Blue, GRN to Ground
-12.6 out to Orange.
Page 4.4 it shows DC power supply connections
+audio- red wire
-audio white wire
-audio white wire
-logic blue wire
logic ground green wire
+logic orange wire.
The wire coming out of console are: Red, White, Black Blue, Orange, Green.
Any one please correct me please on this connections, also any one know where to get this bipolar power supply?
I look all over the internet can't find one
Arrakis price is about $300.0 for the power supply

Any help will be very appreciate

Thank you very much

Hello again Felix,

According to the manual, the power supply is a 3.0 amp 12.6VDC bipolar power supply. The one from Arrakis comes with a Molex connector which integrates to the console end with all the proper color codes and connectors. For only $300, I recommend just buying their power supply, rather than trying to cheese something together.

The Molex connector and associated pins/color codes are:

Pin 1: -12.6VDC (voltage input to the console) Blue colored wire
Pin 2: Ground
Pin3: +12.6VDC (voltage input to the console) Orange colored wire
Pins 4, 5, 6 are not used.
Pin 7: +12.6 VDC (voltage out of the console for use with other external devices) You don't need to bother with this or Pin 9 below.
Pin 8: Ground
Pin 9: -12.6VDC (voltage out of the console for use with other external devices)

Frankly Felix, it seems like you're unfamiliar with electronics and things electrical. Rather than risking blowing up your console, injuring yourself, or burning down your home, I'd find someone more familiar with how to connect a proper bipolar power supply.

Good luck!
