Troubleshooting the Sensor
•
If the sensor loses Bluetooth connection and will not
reconnect, try cycling the ON button. Press and briefly
hold
the button until the status LEDs blink in
sequence, and then release the button. Start the
sensor in the usual way.
•
If the sensor stops communicating with the computer
software or tablet application, try restarting the
software or application. If the problem remains, press
and
hold
the ON button for 10 seconds and then
release. Start the sensor in the usual way.
•
Turn Bluetooth off and then back on. Retry.
Equipment Mounting
Mount the Wireless Motion Sensor as illustrated on a
vertical rod (a) or a horizontal rod (b).
Integrated clips on the lower front end of the sensor allow it
to be attached to the end of a PASCO track (c).
A threaded hole in the bottom of the unit (d) is provided for
attachment to the Motion Sensor Bracket (e), the Cart
Adapter Accessory (f), and other 1/4-20 threaded mounting
devices such as a camera tripod.
To protect the Wireless Motion Sensor from being hit by an
object, use a device such as the Motion Sensor Guard (g)
or Photogate Brackets with a rubber band (h).
The sensor can “see through” a wire screen or rubber band
placed close to the transducer.
About the Battery
The sensor’s battery is partially charged at the factory. If
the battery status LED blinks red, use the micro USB cable
to connect the sensor to a USB port or a USB charger.
Battery Usage
Battery life is very important to making the sensor simple
and always ready to use, so all of the PASCO wireless
products are designed for long battery life. For example,
the sensor turns itself off after a few minutes of inactivity.
The battery life between charges for the sensor varies
depending on the sampling rate. The battery life ranges
between 11 hours for high sample rates to more than 70
hours for low sample rates.
In typical classroom/lab use, this would translate to a
battery life between charges ranging from one to four
weeks or more, because full-day continuous sampling
