    Manual PR1aW General The photocell PR1a combines highest precision and performance with smallest dimensions. 1.1 Functionality The photocell transmitter sends a modulated light beam in infrared range. The receiver moni- tors the light beam for disruptions. In case of a disruption of the infrared beam the receiver releases a pulse.

    Photocell set: 1 x PR1aW, 1 x PR1a-Ref, 2 x BBG, 1 x 001-10 (10m) 1.3.2 Reflection photocell PR1aW-RT: Same as reflection photocell PR1aW-R, without mounting brackets BBG but with tripods and 30 m photocell cable. Range: approx. 24 m...
  • Page 8: Power Supply

    Manual PR1aW Power Supply The photocell can be supplied in different ways. The easiest supply is carried out with the included cable 001-10 (or 001-30) directly from the ALGE timing device. In radio mode the photocell must be supplied with batteries (2 x AA battery in photocell).

    Manual PR1aW Alignment of Photocell 5.1 Reflection Photocell • If you use the photocell in the radio mode please check if you have full batteries in the battery compartment. • Adjust with rotation switch used Radio Team (same radio team as other network mem- bers).
  • Page 11: Setting Of Delay Time

    Manual PR1aW • Switch operating mode of receiver photocell to RX – LED works like the one of the reflec- tion photocell. • After each photocell pulse the operating mode LED of the receiver photocell flashes green for several seconds (indication for good photocell reception) before the battery condition is indicated again.
  • Page 12: Weather Protection

    Manual PR1aW Weather protection The weather protection can be pulled out. With pulled out Pull out weather protection weather protection the lenses are protected from snow and rain. If the photocell is used on a glacier it is essential to pull out the weather protection.
  • Page 13: Radio Function

    The ALGE Wireless Timing Network WTN is a compact radio system for timing and is equipped with the most updated technology. The photocell PR1aW has a WTN-radio module built in and is fully compatible with other devices of the WTN-family.
