Appendix A: Photocell
Taping
This appendix helps the user determine how much retro-
reflective tape (tape width) to use with the Vibrex 2000 and
Vibrex 2000 Plus systems’ photocell installations.
Tape Width Determination
The user may determine the optimum photocell tape width for
the subject aircraft in the following ways:
Mathematical formula
Simplified table
Numerical graph
Mathematical Formula
Use the following formula to calculate the minimum width of
retro- reflective tape necessary:
Minimum tape width = 2.0(π)(Radius)(Rate)(0.0003)
Express the answer in inches. Use the following values and units
with this equation:
= 3.1416
Radius = Distance of the tape from the center of rotation in
inches
Rate = Rotational rate in Hertz (cycles per second)
