Power
The PASCO Variable Speed Motorized Cart can use four "C" cells (batteries) that are not included. NOTE: The PASCO PI-6603 is
a four pack of "C" sized alkaline batteries. The cart can also be powered by a DC power supply (such as the PASCO SE-9720 18
VDC, 5A supply), or by certain PASCO Interfaces (such as the ScienceWorkshop 750 Interface and the Power Amplifier II
(CI-6552A), or the Universal Interface 850), or the PASCO Xplorer GLX datalogger (PS-2002) and GLX Power Amplifier
(PS-2006).
The included cable has a 3.5 mm phone plug at one end and banana plugs at the other end. The banana plugs can be connected to
the output ports of the PASCO Power Amplifier, for example. The 3.5 mm plug fits into the External Input Port on the cart.

You can use a PASCO Interface and a Motion Sensor or Rotary Motion Sensor. The motion can also be measured using a plastic “picket fence" (ME-8933 or ME-9804) that fits into the slots of the acces- sory tray, and a Photogate Head (ME-9498A) connected to a Smart Timer (ME-8930), Photogate Timer (ME-9215B), or PASCO Interface.
