TRIGGER DEVICES
Infinition, Canada
AT-01
An effective and reliable acoustic trigger for an unbeatable event synchronization.
Description
A trigger mechanism is necessary, If the radar system needs to be synced to an outside event, such as a bullet leaving its muzzle. This event can be precisely timed using the trigger device.
The AT-01 acoustic transducer is made to detect extremely powerful soundwaves produced by different firings by guns.
- features an integrated amplifier and a piezoelectric pick-up for longdistance operation;
- Same cable used for power & signal, allowing to use a simple coaxial cable.
- Sensitivity modifications/adjustments are not necessary;
- Output of analogue differential signals for improved resistance to electrical noise in the environment;
- Uses ¼ -20 mounting screw on a standard photo tripod;
- The transducer to be placed really closed to the muzzle due to its robust construction.
OT-01
An effective and reliable Optical trigger that allows an accurate event synchronization. Perfect for firing combinations that involve shifting quadrant elevation (QE) angle.
Description
The muzzle flash created by muzzle explosions is intended to be detected by the optical trigger OT-01. It is easy to place the infrared detector at a secure distance and aim it directly at the gun’s barrel. The trigger device is robust and resistant to explosions from artillery fire. When changing the quadrant elevation (QE) angle during firing tests, this kind of method is frequently used. The trigger alignment can be simply changed in those circumstances.
- Based on a substantial silicon detector (detection surface of 100 mm2);
- The light is focused onto the detector using a 75mm plano-convex lens;
- Electronic device that emphasizes quick rising times and high sensitivity;
- Sensitivity modifications/adjustments are not necessary;
- Output of analogue differential signals for improved resistance to electrical noise in the environment;
- Uses ¼ -20 mounting screw on a standard photo tripod;
- Extremely durable aluminum structure.
