1 General
The photocell PR1a combines highest precision and performance with smallest dimensions.
1.1 Functionality
The photocell transmitter sends a modulated light beam in infrared range. The receiver moni-
tors the light beam for disruptions. In case of a disruption of the infrared beam the receiver
releases a pulse. For multipurpose use the photocell can be operated in three different oper-
ation modes: reflection photocell, transmitter and receiver.
1.2 Photocell Features
Releasing accuracy 1/10.000 second
Diversity of types:
Reflection photocell
One-way photocell for large distances
Large photocell range:
Reflection photocell approx. 25 m
Transmitter and receiver photocell more than 150 m
Variable supply of the photocell:
Battery operation
Supply from timing device
External supply from 4 to 18 VDC
Battery condition indication with LED (green, yellow, red)
Indication of the photocell alignment with LED (green, yellow, red)
Synchronisation of two photocells (main and backup), to prevent interferences
Setting of dead time (approx. 20 ms to 2 s /factory setting = 20 ms)
1.3 Types of photocell
According to its type the photocell can consist of the following parts:
Photocell PR1a Reflector PR1a-Ref Mounting bracket BBG
Tripod TRI128 Photocell cable 001-10 Photocell cable 001-30
