hi. the trigger return magnet of my xmag-style emag trigger fell off. now i don´t know if the direction of the magnet and therefore of the magnetic field matters in any way.

anyone knows?

thx

On some of the HES sensors polarity matters
put the magnet back in, if it doesnt fire, flip it around and see what happens

so you are saying that since the hes is sensitive on the direction of the actuuating magnet it can also be sensitive on the return magnet? makes sense. i try it.

Thank you!

Since the top magnet didn't fall out you dont have to worry about it , it's easy to deal with anyway ; just flip the one in the rail over till it attracts the trigger
The easy way to check the HES magnet is to stick your magnet on the tip of a small screwdriver , move your trigger as far forward as it will go ( upper magnet should allready be doing this ) , power your E Mag up , stick the magnet side of the screwdriver in between the trigger & the HES , if your scroll message goes out ( AGD 1.37 or whatever it is ) your good , if it doesn't turn it ( the magnet ) around

If its the top magnet (return magnet) it does matter what the polarity is if you don't change the magnets inside the frame. You'll quickly know, because it will push the trigger back rather than pull it forward. You can check the polarity before you install the magnet. Put it against the frame where it would go on the trigger. It will only attract in one direction. That is the same way you mount it on the trigger. If you do happen to glue it in backwards. Don't fret. You can flip the magnets in the frame.

hehe, ok, thats right.

the magnet in the trigger was loose so it sticked to the upper magnet. the upper one was only held by the one in the trigger.

the funny thing was that the grip didn´t turn on with the trigger return magnet stuck to the upper one!

when i put them back in their positions the gun constantly was on fire (for example in f.a. mode)
i guess that was due to the wrong polarity af the magnets.

i changed some settings and now it works again.

thanks for your help!

If the trigger wasn't fully forward due to the trigger not being held there by the top magnet, then the HES was probably activated when you turned on the gun. It won't boot up with the HES trigger magnet too close to the HES sensor.

If you put the HES magnet in backwards, most of the time the gun won't even fire. I guess it must depend on the trigger setup and the HES sensitivity.

Glad to hear you got it going.
