Lastly, I have begun on a schematic of the wiring at the launch rack end of things. This one happens to be for a MMX rack but I envision most of the LPR systems as being substantially the same.
1. The connector is the opposite end of what is at the controller. pins 1-8 handle the switch activated current for pads 1-8 respectively. Pin 10 is the negative and I have used pin 9 to carry current to activate a light and a buzzer on the rack to show that this cluster is active when the cluster switch is closed.
2. notice that the jacks are 1 per pad and that the rack has 6 pads. It also has connections for 2 satellite pads.
3. the big issue for me at this point is continuity indication at the pad. I would like for each pad to be able to hit a momentary switch and check for continuity at hookup and do so SAFELY. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to accomplish this and my schematic indicates as much.
Help, please.
