Description
The Model 63502IR Lafayette Timing Gate System generates an infrared beam that is reected back
using the supplied retroreective target. When the beam is broken a low signal is output for use starting
or stopping the LIC series of clock/counters.
Specications
• 2 x AA batteries
• Battery life: ~75 hours
• Weight:
• Dimensions:
• Maximum Sensing Distance: 30 feet or more
Accessories
• Small Switchmat Model, 63516A
• Economy Clock/Counter, Model 54060A
• Infrared Control Cable, Model 63501CBL
Operation
Set the 63502IR and reector up so that there is a clear path between them. The reector should be
facing the 63502IR. The included tripods or other mounting devices may be used. By default, the 63502IR
has a range of approximately 6 inches to 6 feet or more. If a greater range is desired, care must be taken
with alignment and adjusting the sensitivity of the device. When the beam is broken, a low signal is
output for starting or stopping the LIC series of clock/counters. When the “Low Battery” LED comes on,
approximately 30 minutes of battery life is left.
Alignment
When the 63502IR is turned on, the “Beam Broken” LED will light up when the device cannot see the
reection of the IR beam. This can be due to the beam path being crossed or if the reector is misaligned.
With ranges under 10 feet, it is often adequate to set up the 63502IR and reector approximately where
they are to be used and visually adjusting them until the “Beam Broken” light turns off, showing proper
alignment.
Calibration for long distances
• Turn the sensitivity all the way up on the device (clockwise).
• Starting within a few feet, move the reector away from the 63502IR. If the “Beam Broken” LED is on,
adjust the 63502IR or the reector to stay on the IR beam path.
• When the target distance has been reached, turn the sensitivity down all the way (counter-
clockwise). The “Broken Beam” LED should turn on. Slowly turn the sensitivity adjustment back
up until the “Beam Broken” LED turns off. Turn the sensitivity dial an additional 1/4 turn if possible.
Calibration for short and medium distances
• Turn the sensitivity all the way down (counter-clockwise)
• Turn the sensitivity up just a little (approximately 1/8 of a turn)
• Test the shortest distance and longest distance that will be used. If the sensitivity is turned up too
high, the 63502IR can reect off of unintended surfaces and will not register a beam break.

For a 40 yard dash, connect a Lafayette Instrument Model 63502IR’s black output binding post to any
ground port of the 54060A. Connect the red output binding post of the 63502IR to the STOP input port
on the 54060A. Connect the Lafayette Instrument Model 63516 black wire to any other ground port of
the 54060A. Connect the red wire to the START input port of the 54060A. When the runner steps off
of the switch mat, the clock on the 54060A will begin to run until the beam produced by the 63502IR is
broken. Thus, the clock will halt.

repair or replace, at its sole option and free of part charges to the customer,
instrumentation which, under proper and normal conditions of use, proves to
be defective within the warranty period. Warranty for any parts of such repaired
or replaced instrumentation shall be covered under the same limited warranty
