ALGE PR1a SERIES PHOTOCELLS



Triple-functionality ultra-compact photocell set



OVERVIEW
Alge's brand new PR1a series of photocells are a giant leap forward in photocell technology. The compact, multi-purpose units are designed to work in three different configurations: as a conventional photocell-reflector set, as a pair of units set in Transmit-Receive mode for longer distances, or as two pairs of units that can be synchronized via cable for complete finish line security. The photocell-reflector sets shoot to 25 meters (about 80 feet), while the long-range transmit-receive configuration shoots to 150 meters (almost 500 feet!).
