Initial Step: Connect to a USB Port or USB Charger
Use the included Micro USB Cable to connect the Micro USB Port on the Wireless Smart Gate to a
USB port or a USB charger (such as PS-2575A). When connected to a USB port or charger, the
Battery LED shines yellow to show the battery is charging. When the battery is charged, the Battery
LED shines green. Allow 3 hours for charging.
Introduction
The PASCO Wireless Smart Gate is a versatile measuring device that can connect to a computer or mobile device
wirelessly through Bluetooth (BLE) or physically with a Micro USB cable. It measures the time for an object’s
motion, such as a PASCO Cart, as the object blocks one or more beams of light. The Smart Gate has three
detector ports and one Auxiliary port. There are slots for Ports 1 and 2 for Photogate Tape (ME-6663) or Photogate
Tape, High Resolution (ME-6666).
Port 1 and Port 2 operate in the same way as a pair of PASCO Photogates that are side-by-side.The space
between the emitters for Port 1 and Port 2 is 1.5 cm. PASCO Capstone or SPARKvue software records and
displays the times for a variety of timing combinations such as the amount of time each port is blocked, or the time
from when one port is blocked until the second port is blocked. The software also displays the values of
calculations such as the speed or velocity between Port 1 and Port 2.
Port 3, the Auxiliary Port, is the port for a PASCO Photogate or similar device
such as a Time-of-Flight Accessory. The Auxiliary port accepts a 0.25 inch
(6.35 mm) “tip-ring-sleeve” phono plug.
Port 4, the Laser Detector Port, is designed to work with a laser beam to
allow measurement of an object too large to pass through the Wireless Smart Gate. The software begins recording
time when a laser beam shining into the port is blocked by a passing object.

Data Collection Software
Measurements from the sensor are recorded and displayed using PASCO software such as SPARKvue or PASCO
Capstone. SPARKvue allows the sensor to work with a computer or a mobile device such as a tablet, datalogger,
or smart-phone when the sensor is connected. PASCO Capstone will work on a PC or Mac.
See the PASCO web site at www.pasco.com/software for help in selecting the right PASCO software and to check
for the latest versions.
ON/OFF and Sleep Information
To turn the sensor on, press and hold the Power Button until the Battery LED shines red for a moment, and then
release the Power Button. The Bluetooth LED will blink to indicate that the sensor is ready to be “paired” with a
device using the PASCO software.The sensor puts itself to sleep after one hour of inactivity if connected, and after
several minutes if not connected. To turn the sensor off, press and hold the Power Button for a moment until the
Battery LED shines red. Release the Power Button and the Bluetooth LED stops blinking.
Hardware Set-Up
Mounting the Wireless Smart Gate to a Pulley Mounting Rod
A Pulley Mounting Rod (SA-9343) fits the 1/4-20 threaded
hole that is on the side of the Wireless Smart Gate opposite
to the swivel rod clamp.
The swivel rod clamp and thumbscrew allows the Wireless
Smart Gate to be mounted on a 0.63 cm (1/4 in.) diameter
rod (such as the ME-9805 Photogate Stand).
The open space for the Wireless Smart Gate is 7.2 cm
(width) by 4.0 cm (depth). Remember, the Laser Detector
Port (Port 4) allows the measurement of the motion of
larger objects when used with a laser.

Adding a Super Pulley to the Wireless Smart Gate
The tab on the Wireless Smart Gate housing provides a seat for
attaching a PASCO Super Pulley (ME-9450A) using a Pulley
Mounting Rod. When using a Super Pulley with the Wireless
Smart Gate, only Detector Port 1 (“gate 1”) will record state
changes caused by the rotating pulley.
Mounting the Wireless Smart Gate on a PASCO Track
The Wireless Smart Gate can be attached to the side of a
PASCO Track with a Photogate Bracket (ME-9806). Slide the
square nut on the Photogate Bracket into the T-slot of the side
of the PASCO track. Remove the swivel rod clamp from the
side of the Wireless Smart Gate (but save the swivel rod clamp
for later use).
Use the short thumbscrew from the Photogate Bracket
assembly to attach the Wireless Smart Gate to the Photogate
Bracket.
Note that half of the Wireless Smart Gate housing fits between
the “rails” on each edge of one side of the Photogate Bracket,
and the Wireless Smart Gate can be adjusted up or down. If you
wish to adjust the Photogate Bracket to an angle relative to the
PASCO track, mount the bracket on the track with the smooth
side of the bracket against the edge of the track. The small
thumbscrew will hold the Wireless Smart Gate in place against
the smooth side of the bracket. Both the Photogate Bracket and
the Wireless Smart Gate can then be set an any angle.

Mounting the Wireless Smart Gate on a PASCO
Projectile Launcher
Use a Photogate Mounting Bracket (ME-6821A) to
attach the Wireless Smart Gate to a PASCO Projectile
Launcher (see the PASCO web site for more information
about launchers).
Clamp the PASCO Projectile Launcher in place. Mount
the Photogate Mounting Bracket to the T-slot of the
Projectile Launcher. Adjust the bracket so that the second
position on the bracket is aligned with the end of the
launcher. Remove the swivel rod clamp from the side of
the Wireless Smart Gate (but save the swivel rod clamp
for later use). Use one of the smaller thumbscrews from
the Photogate Mounting Bracket (ME-6821A) to attach
the Wireless Smart Gate to the Photogate Mounting
Bracket as shown.
Using the Wireless Smart Gate with the
Time-of-Flight Accessory
The PASCO Time-of-Flight Accessory (ME-6810A) is
designed for projectile motion experiments. The
Time-of-Flight Accessory can be used with a Wireless Smart
Gate mounted on a Projectile Launcher to measure the time of
a projectile’s motion from launch to landing. Connect the plug
from the Time-of-Flight Accessory into Port 3, the Auxiliary
Port on the back of the Wireless Smart Gate. The Wireless
Smart Gate measures the initial speed of the projectile and the
Time-of-Flight Accessory measures total travel time.
Using the Wireless Smart Gate with Photogate Tape
High Resolution Photogate Tape (ME-6666) fits through the
Photogate Tape Slot on the detector side of the Wireless Smart Gate.
The Photogate Tape is made of a flexible Mylar material that can be cut to any length, and is reusable. The tape is 30 m long
with 1cm spacing between bands (edge-to-edge). When the tape is threaded through the Photogate Tape Slot of the Wireless
Smart Gate, the student can measure position, velocity, and acceleration with a high degree of accuracy.

Using the Wireless Smart Gate with a Picket Fence on a Cart
Mount a Five Pattern Picket Fence (ME-9804) or a Smart Timer Picket Fence (ME-8933) to the accessory tray of a PASCO
Cart (such as the ME-6950 PAScar). Use a Photogate Mounting Bracket (ME-9806) to mount the Wireless Smart Gate on the
side of a PASCO Track (such as the ME-6960 PAStrack). Adjust the height of the Smart Gate to match the level of the desired
flag pattern on the Picket Fence.
Using the Wireless Smart Gate with a Photogate Pendulum
Use a clamp (such as the ME-9506 Pendulum Clamp), a
support rod, and string (such as the SE-8050 Braided Physics
String) to hang a Photogate Pendulum as shown with the string
attached at two points on the Pendulum Clamp,
Use a Mounting Rod (SA-9242 or ME-9483) and a clamp (such
as the ME-9507 Multi-Clamp) to Mount the Wireless Smart
Gate so that the Photogate Pendulum interrupts the infrared
beam as it swings through the Wireless Smart Gate. For more
accurate results, arrange the pendulum so that it swings close to
the emitter side of the Wireless Smart Gate.

Bluetooth and Battery LED Information
The Bluetooth LED (light-emitting diode) and the battery LED operate as follows:
Indicator LED Information
The Indicator LED on the top of the Wireless Smart Gate shines when the sensor is on and connected to the
software and an object blocks the infrared beam entering Port 1 or Port 2. The Indicator LED also shines when
a Photogate or a Time-of-Flight Apparatus is attached to the Auxiliary Port (Port 3) and the photogate beam is
blocked or a projectile hits the Time-of-Flight pad.
Laser Detector Port (Port 4) is a special case. The sensor must be on and Port 4 must be selected in the
PASCO Capstone data collection software. If a laser beam shines into Port 4, and the laser beam is blocked,
the Indicator LED shines red. If the laser beam is unblocked, the Indicator LED is clear.
