PG1. Photogate cable for individual emitter and detector
If you already have an SPG2 or SPG2-DU photogate circuit, you can use the PG1 kit to replace the interrupter-style photogate with the individual emitter and detector combination as shown to the right. This provides for greater separation of the the emitter and detector than is possible with an interrupter.
The PG1 kit includes an IR emitter and detector, a 6-ft length of 3-conductor cable, and other parts needed for assembly.
We'll assemble the cord for you but remember, you're mainly paying for labor when you buy an assembled cord.

PG2. Photogate cable for interrupter
If you already have an SPG1 or SPG1-DU photogate circuit, you can use the PG2 kit to replace the individual emitter and detector with an interrupter-style photogate as shown to the right. This provides a convenient photogate for capturing drops and splashes.
The PG2 kit includes an interrupter and a 6-ft length of 3-conductor cable.
