Photo Timing Gate

Photo Timing Gate, IPC 3210-T

For use as a light operated timing gate.

When the timing gate is switched on it creates a short circuit between the two output sockets, this then becomes an open circuit each time the light beam is interrupted. Consequently the timing gate can be used as a remote switching device in a wide range of dynamics experiments.

Key Features:

• The photodetector and light source are each housed in a robust ABS case spaced 40mm apart on a plastic rod
• Light source housing has battery compartment and on/off switch. 
• Photodetector housing is fitted with a pair of 4mm sockets to allow connection to electronic timers
• See documents tab for instructions & experiments

Electrical Supply: 9V Battery, type: PP3

Dimensions: Each case: 55 x 110 x 25, Rod: 120 x 12 (dia)

Mass: 0.25kg
