One of my sensors has the MPX plugs on them and was used just like fig 4b shown in the post by Andreas, much the same as my other MPX and Unisens E sensors which are still working fine. It was working but when I went to move it into another model it stopped (but another sensor is fine in that model).
The other sensor is used to monitor the current in a remote glow system, the circuit is basically, +ve from 2v battery to glow plugs, then too MPX sensor, then to Rx operated FET switch (driven off throttle stick position) then manual switch and back to -ve on the 2v accumulator, Rx is driven by it's own 4.8v battery, this had worked fine but on getting the model ready for this season the sensor no longer responds, the address lines are empty on the transmitter (Profi) and it's not recognised by launcher or the hand held programmer.
I've never witnessed any magic smoke escaping for either sensor and there are no signs of any damage on the circuit boards, I guess I have been unlucky.
