The ARGES Reflex Photocell consists of a transmitter and a reflector unit.
The main unit transmits an infrared beam towards the ARGES photocell reflector positioned on the other side of the timing line. When correctly aligned, the reflected beam is received creating an unbroken invisible beam of light.  Anything or anyone that crosses the field of the beam creates an interruption which is instantly reported to attached timing device(s), meeting the International Sport Federations standards.

The ARGES Reflex Photocell allows constant monitoring of the return beam signal to allow a simple cell alignment process.

An accessible internal battery provides stand alone operation, and a connection for an external battery or a DC power supply allows long term or fixed installation setups.

The ARGES Reflex Photocell features two output contacts allowing connections to two different timing devices simultaneously (main & back-up for example). A small switch panel on the side of the photocell allowing users to choose from the many operating modes and options, making it compatible with all types of timing equipment.


Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, the ARGES Reflex Photocell is a highly precise and reliable timing device even in extreme meteorological conditions and temperatures.
