Re: Wiring previous-year banner sensors

Please do exactly what Shawn suggested above. We have the same Banner sensor and we wired it the same way Shawn did (except we used the black wire). It doesn't matter what wire (white or black) you use for signal, but only use one. You must, however, get your 12v from the PDP adn a 20 amp breaker or it will not work. You can not get power from the digital sidecar for your banner sensor as it can only deliver 5 volts to the digital IO.
