ASSEMBLING THE LAUNCHER BASKET
You will need:
• (2) washers
• (1) nut
• (1) cotter pin
• (2) springs
• (1) bolt
• (1) spring-tensioner
• 1/2” wrench (not included)
To assemble the SportDOG™ basket:
1. Lay the device on its end so that you can work on the spring-tensioner end.
2. Attach one of the springs to each of the Basket’s arms.
3. Attach the free ends of each spring into each sidehole on the spring-tensioner, so that the springs are now
connected.
4. Thread the bolt (with a washer) through the top bracket, the spring-tensioner, and the bottom bracket.
5. Attach a washer and nut below the bottom bracket and tighten with a 1/2” wrench until hole in nut and bolt
are aligned.
6. Insert cotter pin through nut and bolt.
NOTE: By turning the bolt clockwise, tension will decrease. By turning counter-clockwise, tension will increase.
ATTACHING THE RECEIVER TO TRAINING EQUIPMENT
To attach the SportDOG Receiver
to the SportDOG Basket:
1. Remove the two screws from
the back of the Receiver,
and use them to secure the
Receiver to the end of the
Basket opposite the spring-
tensioner.
2. Plug the cable attached to the
Basket into the Receiver’s “S”
port.
NOTE: If attaching the SportDOG Launcher Receiver to other training equipment, always follow the
manufacturer’s directions. Be careful not to attach the Receiver to a training device in such a way that the
Receiver will be in the path of whatever is launched. Also, do not attach it in such a way that it will interfere with
the releasing mechanism of the training device.
NORMAL MODE AND EXPANDED MODE
The SportDOG™ Launcher electronics will operate in either Normal Mode or Expanded Mode, depending on
training needs and available equipment.
NORMAL MODE
• This mode allows a user to control 4 Receivers.
• Each Receiver can control up to 9 devices, plugged
into cable ports 0-8 on the underside of the Receiver.
(The “0” port is a solenoid, or “S” port).
• Each Receiver is assigned and programmed a unique
ID by Launch Signal Buttons 1, 2, 3, or 4 on the
Transmitter. Individual devices are then launched
by adjusting a position level on the Transmitter to
respond to the device’s cable and Receiver position.
Example:
• If a device was attached to the #4 port on Receiver 1, setting the Transmitter to launch position 4, using the
Launch Selection Up/Down Buttons, and pressing the Launch Signal Button #1, you will launch the device
attached to port 4 on Receiver 1.
NOTE: If a Receiver is attached to the Launcher basket or any other device using the “S” port, the number on the
Transmitter’s screen must be set to zero to activate and launch the device.
EXPANDED MODE
In Expanded Mode, a user may program up to 36 independent Receivers. Follow the instructions on page 10, to
select this mode.
Examples:
• To program your first Receiver, you’ll use the Transmitter’s Launcher Selection Up/Down Buttons to select a
0 in the middle of your Transmitter’s LCD screen, and then press the first Launch Signal Button. This will send
a signal to the Receiver and it will then have a
P D S
1 2 3 4
in the upper right corner and a 0 displayed in the center of
the screen.
• To program your second Receiver, you’ll use the Transmitter’s Launcher Selection Up/Down Buttons to select
a 1 in the middle of your Transmitter’s LCD screen, and then press the second Launch Signal Button. This will
send a signal to the Receiver and it will then have a
P D S
1 2 3 4
in the upper right corner and a 1 displayed in the
center of the screen.
