If they do go onto the battery, how can i get the signal of of them?
Thanks

The allen bradley sensors will work with voltage anywhere from 12 to ~28 volts I think, it's printed on the side of the sensor. I got them out and played with them a little today, they're pretty neat! The two of them make a set, you need to wire the positives of each together and plug it into the breaker panel w/ a 20amp fuse, and the grounds go to the common, either on the rc or on the panel. If you line them up, the LED on the reciever will light up, and when you break the IR beam, it will go out. Then wire either of the signal wires to the signal pin of a digital in on the RC, you pick, one of them is NO and the other is NC. Just playing with them for a little bit, they seem like a step up from the old banner sensors, much more reactive.
Hope this helps.
