3 Setting up the system
This section explains how to connect, install, and set up the system.
3.1 General comments
The system requires a free line-of-sight to the ball throughout the complete flight of the ball in
order to be able to deliver measurement data.
Figure 4: Recommended placement of the TrackMan™ Radar Unit.
The TrackMan™ Radar Unit should be placed roughly 2½-3m directly behind the desired tee-
off position. The camera window should be in a straight line to the ball – if anything better a
little to the right (for right-hand players) than to the left of the ball!
The system requires a free line-of-sight to the ball throughout the complete flight. Avoid
standing in front of the radar in such a way, that if you hook the ball, you will be blocking the
radar beam.
Avoid as much as possible large objects, especially metallic object, close to the radar inside
the beam of the radar. Metallic objects in the beam of the radar will have a negative effect on
the measurement accuracy.
