tell me abt the HES

[Jotsy]

ok, i have no idea of how the HES works, and my physics is a little (a lot actually ) rusty so bear with me here.... but i have noticed that when my battery starts to run low, i have to move the selector to manual or hybrid for it to detect the trigger (without actually tripping the sear manually).

this leads me to believe that with lower voltage (or current), the hes detection range lowers. is this correct?

if this is true, then why not put a potentiometer or something in there somewhere to adjust the current going to the HES and use that as a means for adjusting the trigger? this will make it easier for ppl to design emag trigger cos they don't have to worry abt adjusting the distance of the magnet....

of course if its not true then feel free to laugh and point at me

alternatively, y not make it so u can adjust the sensor back an forth? judging by the range of adjustment in the current trigger, it seems we can get away with having the HES adjustable by just a few millimeters

The Best way to describe Hes is

more or less

imagine a microswitch that instead of having contacts that touch inside when the switch is pulled the magnet completes the circuit.


The long answer is the system works by the magnet in the trigger activating a set of leads by increasing or deacreasing the magnetic field to fire the marker.

tanx but that much i already figured.

what i'm really interested in is what the effects of varying voltages or currents would have on the HES? would there be any at all?

The lowering voltage shouldn't affect the HES too much. The emag voltage for the electronics is 5v. The HES is supplied with this 5v source as well. The battery voltage going down would make the solenoid unable to operate the sear before the HES would be affected.

I do like your idea though. There are programmable HES on the market. That would be a great way to adjust the trigger.
