Replacement Light Sensor Holder for Optics Expansion Kit User Manual

Order Code: LSHB-OEK

The Light Sensor Holder is part of the Optics Expansion Kit (order code OEK). It is designed to accommodate either Go Direct® Light and Color (order code GDX-LC) or the Vernier Light Sensor (order code LS-BTA) when used with the Combination 1.2 m Track/Optics Bench (order code TRACK). The Light Sensor Holder is used to position a light sensor to investigate light intensity or for color mixing investigations in combination with Go Direct Light and Color and the Color Mixer Kit (order code CM-OEK). Attach the sensor as described in the Assembly Instructions section.

The sensor bracket (order code GDX-MOUNT) is designed to hold any Go Direct box-style sensor. In addition to mounting on the Light Sensor Holder, it has a threaded nut to attach the accessory rod (order code ACC-ROD) and connect to a ring stand. It can also be set on top of a cart.

Assembly Instructions

  1. Snap the base of the Light Sensor Holder into the side channels of the track.
