Which IR eye for the Beolink Passive?

[matador]

Hi Everybody,

I’ve a Beolink Passive and MCL/ML black boxes.

Following Guy’s successful IR eyes genetic crossing experiences, I’ve found for cheap a complete MCL2A with boxe, IR eye, papers and wires in the hope of making the Passive standalone.

The IR eye has 5 wires: brown, grey, yellow, white and green and I plug them in the IR ir of the black box like in these document:

But nothing happens by IR or by pressing the mute button. The Beolink Passive is just connected to Power and IR.

Should it have speakers and input to start (not talking about Powerlink Trigger here)?
Do I miss something?
Or is it just that this eye do not work with the Passive?

Is it any way to check that the IR eye is not faulty.

Bonus question: when is the Masterlink socket used in these boxes, seem like every time somebody want to use them the answer is “find yourself a fully wired PL cable”.

Thanks.
