Using the Wireless Smart Gate with a Picket Fence on a Cart
Mount a Five Pattern Picket Fence (ME-9804) or a Smart Timer Picket Fence (ME-8933) to the accessory tray of a PASCO
Cart (such as the ME-6950 PAScar). Use a Photogate Mounting Bracket (ME-9806) to mount the Wireless Smart Gate on the
side of a PASCO Track (such as the ME-6960 PAStrack). Adjust the height of the Smart Gate to match the level of the desired
flag pattern on the Picket Fence.
Using the Wireless Smart Gate with a Photogate Pendulum
Use a clamp (such as the ME-9506 Pendulum Clamp), a
support rod, and string (such as the SE-8050 Braided Physics
String) to hang a Photogate Pendulum as shown with the string
attached at two points on the Pendulum Clamp,
Use a Mounting Rod (SA-9242 or ME-9483) and a clamp (such
as the ME-9507 Multi-Clamp) to Mount the Wireless Smart
Gate so that the Photogate Pendulum interrupts the infrared
beam as it swings through the Wireless Smart Gate. For more
accurate results, arrange the pendulum so that it swings close to
the emitter side of the Wireless Smart Gate.
