PASCO SE-7256 Motion Sensor Guard - Manual

Instruction Sheet
for the PASCO
Model SE-7256
Motion Sensor Guard
012-08901B
Introduction
The SE-7256 Motion Sensor Guard is designed to protect
the PASCO Motion Sensor from falling objects. When
placed over the motion sensor, the wires of the guard are
within the 15 cm “dead zone” of the sensor. Therefore,
the wires do not interfere with data collection for position,
velocity or acceleration measurements.
Setup Instructions
1. Set the Motion Sensor on a flat surface
2. Rotate the sensor head to point upwards
3. Place the Motion Sensor Guard over the Motion
Sensor as shown.
4. Be sure to position the guard so the intersections
of the wires are not directly above the sensing
element. This will minimize any interference by the
guard.
Note: The Motion Sensor Guard is designed to
protect the sensor from light objects such as a
foam ball, coffee filters, or a tennis ball. Heavy
objects may break the guard and damage the
motion sensor.
Position the guard so that the
intersections of the wires are not directly
above the sensing element.
