How Do You Wire Up the Reed Sensor On an Actuator for a Bud Dish?

I've been trying to get my new V-Box III to run my 12 Foot Dish Actuator/ Motor with no success. The confusing part is there are ONLY 2 connections for the Sensor, that is there are 4 connections in all: 2 for Motor + and Motor - for the 36 VDC, But re the Reed Sensor I have 3 wires:

B: for 12 VDC Sensor Power
SEN: for Sensor Return, and
GND: for Sensor Ground


There are ONLY 2 connections on the Back of the V-Box III for the Reed Sensor!! What ones should I use? Its confusing because in the V-Box III manual in one place for the Reed Sensor it says to use Pulse and Ground for the Reed Sensor, and on the next page it says to wire up: Sensor - and Sensor + for the Terminals on the Back of the V-Box III. Can anyone please let me know what connections I should wire to the back of the V-Box III for Sensor Control? Any replies would be very much appreciated.
