PRO RADAR MODULE ™ AIMING AIMING Must Aim Radar at Release Point The Pro Radar Module captures a speed reading by sending out a focused beam of very low power radio waves and looking for them to bounce off a moving object, such as a ball. These radio waves are focused in a small cone shaped like a flashlight beam which comes out the front end, where the arrow is pointing, on the Pro Radar Module.
PRO RADAR MODULE ™ AIMING AIMING Aiming Illustrations Recommended Distance: • Set up the Pro Radar Module either in front or behind the path of the moving object. • If throwing or hitting into a net, set up the Pro Radar Module at least 15 feet behind the net or the player.

TROUBLESHOOTING Interference Certain types of interference can cause all radar equipment to some- times display false or so called “ghost readings,” or make it harder to capture the speed of the intended object. Movement: Any objects that rotate, move or vibrate can create a read- ing.
TROUBLESHOOTING Ghost Readings Radar devices are very sensitive instruments for measuring moving objects of any kind. There may be times when the speed reading displayed may not make sense, or when there is no apparent moving object present. False readings of this kind are sometimes referred to as “ghost readings”.
TROUBLESHOOTING Angles A common mistake made with ALL radar equipment is trying to measure the speed of an object at an angle. Due to the nature of how Doppler speed radar works, the radar device will measure most accurate speeds when the object is moving directly towards or away from the radar beam.
TROUBLESHOOTING Cosine Error This off angle speed measurement error is referred to as the COSINE error, named after the mathematical function that allows you to calculate the exact speed versus angle. The measured speed will always read lower than the actual speed as you move off the centerline of the path of the moving object.
