SirLanceUK Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Spartan CVRT wiring in the back a complete mess. I have several documents none of which have wiring diagrams for the cabling I am sorting out the wiring 1 wire at a time. Issues like a wire going through 2 connectors means fun... Now I am playing with the cupola and have the brush box with no cables and no wiring diagram I am buzzing wires out to see which pins are going to what. Now does anyone know where I can get any information or diagrams. I also need to know if anyone does the connectors I have found a couple at "The Xmod Ltd" but at £25 I was wondering if anyone knew where I might source cheaper. Thanks in advanced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diana and Jackie Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 There is only one place to get info on CVRT that is worth trying - Green Machine surplus. This is what you want ...https://www.greenmachinesurplus.com/cvrt-scorpion-electrical-system-cvrt-165-p.asp But you will have to extract from it specifics regarding the Spartan.

You can see that they want £18+vat or xmod want £12+vat just being penny wise as I can see me making a lot more cables over the weeks/ months a head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Lance, if you know how many of which type of connector (no of pins etc) I can see what I can find amongst the wiring I have from stripped vehicles. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Hi Chris, If you can help in anyway of course I will be further in your debt. All are the same type as I posted a picture of 1 x 2 pin female O/D 15mm 4 x 3 pin female O/D 15mm 1 x 10 pin male O/D 28mm 1 x 5 pin male O/D 21mm Cheers Lance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirLanceUK Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 Hi, Still working my way around bits fixing where i can, but i need a connector to fit the comanders periscope No 62 Mk1 on my Spartan. I have enclosed a picture of the connector on the periscope but I need the the cupola feed side. If any one has one, or a part number or knows where i can get the conector to make my own cable up Also noticed on my drawings it mentions the positive feed on Pin A it in reality it appears to be on pin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Hi Lance, I’ve had 3 Spartans and none of them had anything plugged in there. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris So power goes in the 3 pin socket on the other side of the scope? and if so do you know which pin is live and which is earth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes & not without checking, but I’d assume pin A is live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Richard, I do have that one unfortunatly there is no part numbers on the diagram and i have already made the mistake of the wrong connector Hopefully if the weather is better i will take another look at the existing wiring and see what i can see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Looking at the pictures, isn't that just a heater/demister? That may explain why Chris hasn't seen one plugged up before? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirLanceUK Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 Well after going across to my Spartan for lots of other things and despite getting distracted by various people I have actuallty found the wiring loom for the cupola and sure enough there is a plug in the right position to plug in to the 3 pin socket on the periscope, and now thanks to Andy we know what that plug might be used for other than just a place where lots of wires get joined together. Another step forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another step forward. The heater.demister is an element around the sight eyepiece, (which gets pretty hot) The plug to the right is the connection for the oft not seen commanders night sight.

SirLanceUK Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 Thank you Diana and Jackie, someone did suggest that to me.

The night sight itself can be damaged by daylight. They do turn up occasionally, I’ve had a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
