Caleb, Synscan plug is centre pin Pos. In the battery case the Spring is Neg and the opposing pad Pos.
If the handpiece is getting warm, thats not a good sign. Methinks you need the services of an electronics doctor to give it a physical.
If your external supply is unregulated and poorly smoothed it could cause the warming and ultimately do permanent damage. Its the "ripple" in the DC that causes the problems. 13.8 is OK as its nominally 12v rated and will tolerate a couple of volts over. The idea is that when you start to pull extra power from it during slewing for instance the voltage doesn't drop below critical.

And another thing with wiring, I'm prety sure white is positive and black is negative, welly welly. Black is pos and white is neg in Skywacther lingo 
Actualy, come to think of it I ran the power into the battery pack with +/- (without batts) so I guess it was running through correctly. 
I wanna get a t-mount crank'en.  |
