U-Trak question
« on: July 09, 2013, 02:59:44 pm »
So I went to hook up my U-Trak last night to my optipac, and I noticed that one of the connections did not have a black cable (ground) going to the 4 pin connector.  Is the ground between the 2 connections just a common ground?  Or are they isolated?  I'm assuming if they're connected I can just make a jumper from one connection ground to the other.

You are correct.

The ground connects to both optical boards inside the UTrak.

Awesome, thank PL1.  Really didn't wanna have to disassemble it to solder a wire to the board.  I'll just make a jumper then  :cheers:
