Re: How should we wire the photoswitchs?

I agree with Alan that there should have been no damage to the sensor outputs. I would recommend you retest the sensors but instead use the ohm meter function and measure between the blue wire and the outputs. When triggered, this should measure low resistance and when not triggered it should measure high resistance. If they do not match the changes indicated by the LEDs on the sensor then they are defective.
