While doing some testing in Amherst over the weekend i got punch though at about 2000+ feet using Ultra lite after some investigation on Blinder head placement i found out one of my heads was upside down i fixed it and it worked great from there on!

I didn't know Blinder heads had a top and bottom. I thought cable to the inside, sensor to the outside.
Same thing.Quote:

I guess I misunderstood. But if a head can be flipped over there is no top and bottom.
I thought the same but after getting punch through at 2000 ft it was ok after the next 250 ft or so did a few runs(doing some minor angling of the heads) same results.I then took out the heads and noticed the wires were on the same side switch over the one head and bam! JTG or punch through at approx 50-100ft.
When I installed mine I made sure the writing on the back wasn't upside down. I think it's common sense. :confused:
I posted this on my results on what was done on my car,when you get the blinder units 1 tab on each are out and from the front they are symmetrical the possible chances of them being upside down is very possible,so if anyone is installing im just noting that there is a difference.
Does Blinder have specific "left" and "right" heads so they both need to be mounted right side up? I haven't seen a Blinder head up close yet but my friend got a M27 recently that I'll be helping him install soon, and I don't want to install the heads the wrong way. ;)
Not according to the install manual. Just put the cord in and the sensors out.
Once Raydee changed his head placement, I could only get punchthrough at around 75-100' He did a nice job re-adjusting.
Having the sensors to the outside makes a huge difference on the M27 series.
We had the same issue when testing the prototypes for BG. I mounted one with the sensor inside and we got PT's galore. Switched it to sensor out and JTG.
Yes Raydee, it is so important to make sure the wires align as in the Blinder Manual.
Just goes to show how important placement and alignment is for all Jammers.
So true i did find changing them to the right way gave really good results ! :)
There is not a top or bottom to a Blinder head. You can flip any way you want as long as the receiver is out closest to the light. Just to be on the safe side and make sure nothing had changed with the M27 heads I confirmed this with Blinder Denmark.
Thank you very much. Tried to tell you this.
For future reference check out this diagram for proper Blinder head orientation.

oh **** well I guess assuming the words should be right side up was wrong lolQuote:

Really no upside down or right side up.... just a matter of sensors to the inside or the outside. You generally want them to the outside for most vehicles. I have one flipped one way and the other flipped the other so the sensors are on the outside. Doesn't impact it much either way with center mass but makes a huge difference with less PTs when the gun is aimed at the lights and the sensors are on the outside. Its a little tip Category4 gave me after our first testing session. By flipping one of the heads so the sensor was out we went from 250 ft PTs to JTG the next testing session.
Sensor orientation is everything with Blinders. I was shocked at the difference it made with sensors out. Everyone that is running Blinders should go out and verify they have the cables toward the center of the car (see the diagram in the above post by NetStar). I makes a HUGE difference in performance!!Quote:
