We recommend using a sensor harness with at least 3 sensor domes mounted on a hat or headband to provide 360-degree coverage.

 

HEAD SENSORS

Compatible with MilesTag CORE and uMT systems.

 

Three TSOP sensors for max coverage.

Okay to use just 2 TSOP sensors.

Clear Sensor Dome $3.00 USD ONLINE STORE    

Protect your sensors from rain, dust, impact.

Perfect choice for most outdoor Laser Tag systems, mobile field equipment and indoor arenas.  Crystal clear dome allows visibility of sensor "Hit" LEDs.  

Nearly indestructible injection-molded polycarbonate dome with cable entry slots.  Made in Malaysia

 

 

 

 

Black (IR) Sensor Dome $3.00 USD ONLINE STORE    

IR-pass material greatly reduces sunlight interference to extend the range of the system under bright sunlight.

Ideal for military / commercial-grade equipment and for serious mil-sim players. Black domes also provide a distinctive "tactical" appearance to your equipment.

Nearly indestructible injection-molded polycarbonate dome with cable entry slots.  Made in Malaysia

NOTE: Hit LEDs will NOT be visible from inside the Black domes.  These domes are designed to only pass infrared light, and will block any visible light.  For some situations, this is not a problem - such as Mil-Sim games where Hit LEDs may not be considered "realistic" anyway.  The military M.I.L.E.S. equipment does not have Hit LEDs.  If you do require the Hit LEDs, you can drill a hole and mount the LED so it extends to the outside of the dome.  Or you could mount additional clear domes on the headband / harness with just the Hit LEDs in them.

 

This is the original sensor design.
