ego wiring diagram

[tafilad]

I have taken this off of an old ego battery and i want to reuse it.
The problem i have is the all the wires are missing/broken.
Does anybody know where wires 1,2,3 go

[maccafan]

1-->Ground/- to battery

2.-->+ To center pin..

3--->Battery positive..

thanks m8

You are welcome tafi..

Solder a wire to 1 and put it across a known good battery and if the circuit board is still good the LED will flash 5 times..

Wot macca said, except that if your case is non-conductive,
you will need an extra lead from the battery negative to the
casing of the atty connector.

Hi Can anyone tell me where i can buy the wire and what gauge the wires are. TIA

[maccafan]

The original wires are 1x 0.5 single core and break quite easily..I have seen batteries with 1 x 0.3 too..

You can try for some 7/0.13 but they are hard to buy singly..You'll find them inside multicore cables and you can get some from maplin and get the cores off..Something like this:

www.maplin.co.uk/20-way-overall-screenedscart-cable-290

Much more flexible and will not break easily.

Or you can get the universal 7/0.2 equipment hook up wire from almost anywhere but they may not fit some ego type battery tubes because of the thickness..These have the proper current rating but you can get away with smaller cables because current is not continuous till you have a short..

I've been using this.
It is a bit on the bulky side, but very flexible and can cope with the current loads.

I have some (what I seem to remember is) 7 x .13 which has an outer Dia. of 1mm left over from an old project. Not huge ammounts but enough to pass some out. If you are wanting some pm me with your address and I will put it in the post to you. It is only 2 colours I have, one is in a lovely metalic Red and the other in a metalic Green. Say how much you want and I will do my best, though like I said I do not have huge ammounts so it will be on a first come first served bases. (oh and dont be greedy as i would like to share the joy about lol)

I have a problem
This is my test before i make the pipe
As i said before this is an old board i am trying to reuse.

The pink and green wire are negative/ground on the attie
The white wire is going to the centre pin on the attie and the black is going to the battery postive.
As far as i tell the wiring is ok,no shorts but i have permanent voltage going to the attie

When i connect the wires the board flashes twice stays on for 5 secs then flashes 5 times
Is the board duff?

[domesticextremist]

You may have a short.
When you connect the board to the battery only (not connected
to atty) it should flash a couple or three times.
Pushing the switch will cause it to light.

Chances are you have a short in the atty (possibly the grommet
is gone), so best to desolder that, check the board is OK and locate
where the fault is in the atty wiring.

[maccafan]

When you press the button that is..

[tafilad]

Think it must be the board it does the same with the atty disconnecter

[tafilad]

damn mac seen your post after i took it apart, I will try again tomorrow

[maccafan]

Edit..I am wrong again I think..

I'll PM you Tafilad..
