Installing the Optional Photogate Bracket (ME-6821)
The Photogate Bracket is an optional accessory for
mounting one or two photogates on the Mini
Launcher to measure the muzzle velocity of the ball.
Installation is as follows:
➀ Prepare the bracket by inserting the thumb screw
through the hole in the bracket near the end and
start the square nut onto the end of the thumb
screw (see diagram).
Attach the photogates to the bracket using the re-
maining holes in the bracket and the screws pro-
vided with the photogates.
➁ To mount the bracket to the Launcher, align the
square nut in the slot on the bottom of the
Launcher and slide the nut into the slot. Slide the
bracket back until the photogate nearest to the bar-
rel is as close to the barrel as possible without
blocking the beam. Tighten the thumb screw to se-
cure the bracket in place.
➂ When storing the Mini Launcher, the photogate
bracket need not be removed. It can be slid back
along the barrel with or without the photogates in
place, making as compact a package as possible.
