| Track Sensors & Infra-red Beam Emitters |
 
RaceAmerica Infra-red Sensors overcome the problems with sunlight and alignment common with many photocell or low tech infra-red solutions. Other manufacturers use photocells which are very sensitive to sunlight and work poorly in bright sunlight. Other manufacturers also use more expensive laser powered beam emitters which generate a bright light to their low tech IR sensors. These seem to work if the sensors are shaded well from sunlight but often are intermittent when running a race event. While others purchase their sensors from outside sources, RaceAmerica’s Infra-red Track Sensors were designed by RaceAmerica back in 1991 and have been perfected over the years. These sensors are designed to operate in conditions from total darkness to the brightest sunlight without adjustment with easy setup. This is accomplished through a dual coded digital signal. Dual Beam and Tri-Beam units operate with multiple frequencies. The proven drag racing technology of RaceAmerica’s Infra-red Track Sensors and Beam Emitters provide line-of-sight detection of moving objects. The Digital Dual Coded Infrared (DDCIR) technology design is immune to radio interference and bright sunlight. The Track Sensors connect to any RaceAmerica Timer using an RJ-12 connector for fast and easy setup. The Beam Emitters are powered by four AA-size or four C-size batteries and provide detection of objects up to 250 feet away from the Track Sensors. |
