Motion Sensor Guard
Note: The Motion Sensor Guard is designed to 
protect the sensor from light objects such as a 
foam ball, coffee filters, or a tennis ball. Heavy 
objects may break the guard and damage the 
motion sensor.
Introduction
The SE-7256 Motion Sensor Guard is designed to protect 
the P ASCO Motion Sensor from falling objects. When 
placed over the motion sensor, the wires of the guard are 
within the 15 cm “dead zone” of the sensor. Therefore, 
the wires do not interfere with data collection for position, 
velocity or acceleration measurements.
Setup Instructions
1 . Set the Motion Sensor on a flat surface
2. Rotate the sensor head to point upwards
3. Place the Motion Sensor Guard over the Motion 
Sensor as shown.
4. Be sure to position the guard so the intersections 
of the wires are not directly above the sensing 
element. This will minimize any interference by the 
guard.
Position the guard so that the 
intersections of the wires are not directly 
above the sensing element.
