LED Information: The Bluetooth LED and the Battery LED operate as follows:
Logging Data: PASCO wireless sensors can either stream live data to a
compatible device or log data to the sensor’s memory. Logging capability supports
remote data collection while not connected to the device. Logged data can be uploaded to the device for display and analysis at a later
time.
Features: The Wireless Smart Gate measures the time for an object’s motion, such as a PASCO Cart. The Smart Gate has three
detector ports and one Auxiliary port. The space between the emitters for Port 1 and Port 2 is 1.5 cm. There is a slot for Photogate Tape
(ME-6663 or ME-6666) for Ports 1 and 2. Port 3 is the Auxiliary port for a PASCO Photogate or similar device. Port 4 is designed to work
with a laser beam to allow measurement of an object too large to pass through the Wireless Smart Gate.
Technical Support
FCC Statement: This digital device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
