Adding a Super Pulley to the Wireless Smart Gate
The tab on the Wireless Smart Gate housing provides a seat for
attaching a PASCO Super Pulley (ME-9450A) using a Pulley
Mounting Rod. When using a Super Pulley with the Wireless
Smart Gate, only Detector Port 1 (“gate 1”) will record state
changes caused by the rotating pulley.
Mounting the Wireless Smart Gate on a PASCO Track
The Wireless Smart Gate can be attached to the side of a
PASCO Track with a Photogate Bracket (ME-9806). Slide the
square nut on the Photogate Bracket into the T-slot of the side
of the PASCO track. Remove the swivel rod clamp from the
side of the Wireless Smart Gate (but save the swivel rod clamp
for later use).
Use the short thumbscrew from the Photogate Bracket
assembly to attach the Wireless Smart Gate to the Photogate
Bracket.
Note that half of the Wireless Smart Gate housing fits between
the “rails” on each edge of one side of the Photogate Bracket,
and the Wireless Smart Gate can be adjusted up or down. If you
wish to adjust the Photogate Bracket to an angle relative to the
PASCO track, mount the bracket on the track with the smooth
side of the bracket against the edge of the track. The small
thumbscrew will hold the Wireless Smart Gate in place against
the smooth side of the bracket. Both the Photogate Bracket and
the Wireless Smart Gate can then be set an any angle.
