If it is impossible to avoid metallic objects in the beam, the accuracy can be increased by
adding intentionally reflectors or by using microwave absorbing materials to avoid the main
reflectors to enter the radar. Please consult ISG support team for guidelines on how to do this.
NOTE! Some types of fluorescent light tubes emit significant electromagnetic noise.
Placement of the TrackMan™ Radar Unit nearby such types of light tubes will have a
negative influence on the tracking capability of the TrackMan™ system.
3.2 Step-by-step setup
In order for the system to function properly, it has to be set up in the correct way, and in the
correct order:
1.
Place the RU and DU where you want them roughly to be. Turn on the DU
2.
Pull out the two legs of the RU until you hear a click. This indicates that the legs are
safely fastened in their sockets. If the legs are at different lengths, don’t be alarmed.
This is merely a result from the last time the unit was operated.
3.
Tip out the orange leg on the back of the RU about 120 deg until it snaps in place.
Now the leg should be locked in place.
4.
Align the front of the RU roughly in the desired ball flight direction.
5.
Connect the AC adaptor or the battery to the RU.
6.
Connect the USB cable to the RU and the DU, and make sure the power LED turns
ON (the RU does not use any power until the USB is connected)
7.
Start the TrackMan™ application software.
The final horizontal alignment happens from within the TrackMan™ application software.
Depending on type of DU being used, it might be required to place the DU on a table to make
sure moisture does not enter the DU. Please check with the guidelines for the DU.
If it is raining, make sure that the DU and the AC adaptor is placed under cover. To avoid
malfunction, make sure that the DU is kept clean and dry.
