Connecting a 3-PIN hidden wire brake sensor to CA v3

I have these sensors: http://shop.crystalyte-europe.com/images/D/brk-hid-gr.jpg

Can anyone tell me how to connect them to the Cycle Analyst v3?

The CA has a 2 Pin connector while this brake sensor has a 3 Pin connector. I assume this brake sensor is a hall effect sensor (?) and I will probably need to feed it 5V. But I couldn't find the pinouts or anything.
Can anyone help me with this?

Also, once this is solves I would also like to know how to connect two of them to the CA as I have a front and rear brake sensor installed.
 
If you can figure out how to turn a light on and off, the number of lights aren't really critical, just that you have the correct voltage and enough capacity for it in however you are powering the lights.

However, using the CA to turn a specific light on or off when the ebrake is used is news to me. I hope someone has a better answer for you.
 
I've done that.
I'm out of town and cannot look at my bike for specifics, but...

You can use the +5v from the throttle, or from the Aux Pot. I used the Aux Pot. Then you can simply use the ground and signal solder pads for the standard e-brake cutoff.

I've actually wired this in parallel with a 2-wire hydraulic e-brake pressure switch on the same bike. Both brakes work perfectly well, independently.

The hidden wire brake sensor has a red LED that lights up when it's activated - very nice for troubleshooting.
