Hope you have disc space!
Ulibrium,
Dude! Hey you asked some good questions.. ok first let me point out where the relavent documentation is.
You probably already have these files downloaded so bear with me please...
From the F.I.R.S.T. web site under documents and updates, under the competition documents there is the kit_p_hlist.pdf which is a very big PDF but if you have it, on page G-12 at the top there is the wiring diagram for the unit. The first diagram is of the NPN (sinking output) and is the basis for the example in the innovation First control system user's manual. Open the System control manual to page 30 and refer to table 7.8
OK between the two sources, you get, that the brown wires from all your sensors get wired directly to a 12V breaker. From table 7.8 you can see that pins 3,6,9,12,13,14,17,20 and 23 all have ground so just take your pick and wire the blue wire to one of these pins. Now you've got power going to the sensor. The example shows wiring the black normally opened lead to pin 15 and the white normally closed output to pin 16, Because of the way the default rogram is written, these pins were resverved for relay 2 control and enables or disables the relay . You have another "freebie" in
relay 1 but using the same diagram and wiring pin 1 to normally opened black lead and pin 2 to the normally closed white lead of the sensor...pick one of the ground pins mentioned above and you now have a second sensor ready to go that programmatically controls relay 1.
If you want more relay control, you have to modify the default program.
When you power everything on you should see a red light coming from the optical sensor. If you can't and you think there's something wrong with the sensor, here's a good trick. Cam Corder recorder systems are sensitive to the infrared outputs. look through the eyepiece of a cam corder at the sensor and you should see some light. IN fact, grab your TV or stereo remote control and look through the eyepiece while pressing a botton and you can see the infrared pulsing LED.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes
