IMPORTANT: Do not hold the sensor-belt closer than 10cm to the Timing Gates, since this could dam-
age the sensor irreparably.
4.2.1.
Timing Gates Mobile
The Timing Gates Mobile can be placed everywhere to conduct performance tests. The gates do not
contain sensitive electronics and are tolerant against humidity and dirt.
To maintain the integrity of the integrated magnets, the magnetic
rods (MCD’s) should be well pro-
tected from falling or other severe shocks at any time.
A Timing Gate consists of two magnetic elements. A magnetic element consists of one cone and one
magnetic rod (MCD), which is to be stuck into the hole of the cone (see figure 2).
