I'am trying to figure out how to wire my hes sensor to my morlock board. I got no clue... I'am used to 2 wires not 3... any ideas? The HES has a 5v wire, ground and another wire.. How do I plug this thing up? Help would be appreciated. Thanks, EBZ

The 5v HES wire requires a connection to the regulated eye voltage from the Morlock board. The HES gnd wire is connected to the trigger (-) input to the morlock board. The HES control (output) wire is connected to the trigger (+) input to the morlock board.Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts. -
Thats also what I figured but was not shure. That +5v wire I believe is the white wire (or eye reference as per the manual) Now will that effect the use of the eyes by anychance? Also been having problems using a reflective eye on the board. I have it on reflective sense and I actually use night vision to view the ir led... but the reflective sensor never picks up the beam signal. Is the voltage from the Morock to much power for the sensor eye. I have tried Scenario dreams tboard reflective eye and I think I may try an eblade eye next. Maybe a resistor might have to be wired in to keep it from burning it up. I appreciate the info, any other help for the eye issue would be appreciated!! Later, EBZ

The eyes won't be affected by using the supply from the white eye (+5v) wire. This is a regulated 5v supply. The eyes only use a small amount of current. The HES also only uses a small amount of current. The 150mA supply maximum is more than adequate to supply both of these at the same time.
5v is a standard electronic signal source. I suspect any eye sensors will work at this voltage. What type of reflective eye system are you using? Ususally, a reflective eye system is an all in one emitter-receiver. It then has to be tuned by the electronics in order to be usable (a variable resistor may help here). Break beam eyes are much easier to setup because of this. Break beam eyes are on or off rather than something in between.Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.Comment

Killer, thanks for the info. As for the eye, it is a scenario dreams reflective. I'm gonna buy an eblade eye and try that next. Only reason I do not want to use the break beam is I do not want to drill the holes on the Karta body because of all the curves and I want a stream line body. no eye covers or heatshrinked tube/epoxy showing. I like the epoxy heatshrink eyes but this is one marker I do not want them on. I plan on drilling a hole in the base of the body so it is like a xmag eye. Since I have a ULED rail and a Xmag frame for it, I have room for all the wires and eye. I think the eblade eyes will work beign they already have the eye on a board that I believe has a resistor on it.. have not looked at it yet. Anyway. Thanks for the heads up and all Athomas! I appreciate the help! EBZ
