The MCU wire harness is intended for use with REV3 FCU's that feature
the built in MCU (Motor Control Unit) for running the replica's box
magazine. This model is intended for custom wiring and is equipped with
the ZH series connector at one end which attaches to your FCU while the
other end is left bear for soldering or splicing into your magazine
motor or existing wire harness.
Please note: For magazines
which are independently controlled by a button or pressure switch, it is
recommended to continue using them as they were intended. The MCU is
really only for replicas like the M240, M60 and PKM that were designed
to feed when activated by the trigger since their magazines feed at a
slower rate.
Although it is technically possible to use an MCU
to run something like a M249 magazine when the trigger is pulled, the
magazine was not designed to be used that way and you may end up
damaging the magazine eventually. The magazine is geared to wind up very
quickly when its pressure switch is depressed. Therefore if it was
running whenever the trigger was depressed it would wind up the spring
faster than the BB's are being fed into the gun so the spring would
constantly be ratcheting which can cause it to break.
