The optical bullet switch works with my Dillon XL650 XL750 Bullet Feeder V2

 

This is a bullet feeder switch that works with an optical sensor. No micro switch needed. I did not use a set screw as the weight should be enough to keep it on the die.

 

This is a big improvement over my last optical switch.

 

ALL NEW IN V2:

  • Now connects using a standard 4-pole headphone cord. No more delicate JXT connectors!
  • No longer requires the campanion control box
  • Now has a visual port for the LED
  • Now has an adjustment port for the photocell
  • Insert sleeves are now dropped in from the top instead of the bottom of the switch body

Details:

  • Set to accept up to .45 ACP
  • Includes inserts for 9mm and .223
  • Input side is sized to accept 12mm slinky hose
  • Includes adaptor to accept 10mm slinky hose

Wiring instructions:

  • Connect 1x 5730 LED chip to the buck convertor and set the convert to it's lowest setting where the light turns on
  • Combine the positive leads from the optical sensor and the buck convertor to the 4-pole headphone jack
  • Combine the negative leads from the optical sensor and the buck convertor to the 4-pole headphone jack
  • The green and white leads are connected to the breaker and then connected to your bullet feeder motor through the 4-pole headphone jack. When the light beam is interupted by the bullets, this breaker will turn off the bullet feeder.

This switch connects directly to the bullet feeder through the headphone jack.
