INSTRUCTIONS FOR DT100
Pitching booth speed measuring detector
GENERAL
The DT100 is a Doppler radar unit that registers speeds and communicates this speed to a speed display or other
connected device. Power is supplied via the permanently connected DATA/POWER cable, and requires a display option,
or other device to provide power and display the communicated speed.
The DT100 is designed for mounting BEHIND, a receiving net to record the speed of the target moving into the net.
Specifically designed for pitching or kicking booths: The advantage of the DT100 is that adjacent pitching booths (at least
8 feet away) will not give false readings. In addition, the DT100 is highly immune to noise sources such as motors and
fans that are typically used for inflatable booths.
NOTE: The DT100 does not "DISPLAY SPEEDS", it acquires speeds and sends the speed data to devices such as our
LED or LCD displays, or a PC using our optional software.
FEATURES of the DT100 Speed Detector.
1. Speeds range from 25 to 175 MPH (40 to 240 Km/h)
2. Selectable Display units in MPH or Km/h
3. Range 8 feet typical
4. Programmable noise filter
5. Programmable MIN and MAX speed limit settings
6. Serial communications, 1200 baud
7. On board speed storage (EEPROM)
8. Power and Data to the display in one cable
9. Weather resistant
INSTALLATION:
The DT100 should be positioned behind the receiving net from 1 to 6 feet away. It is important to keep the DT100 in-line
with the target line of travel to reduce the COSINE* error and assure optimum accuracy. Figure 1 and 2 show the typical
mounting positions for pitching booths.
*See section 3 a technical discussion about the COSINE error.

- Page 2 DT100. For a PC connected application Sports Radar offers a special adapter to provide power to the DT100 and a Windows based PC program that can display speeds from DT100 and offers various other options for recording and displaying speeds.
- Page 3 PC applications Connect the DT100 to a PC using a special adapter with power pigtail and 9VDC power supply. The adapter comes with a software CD that can display the speeds in large screen digits, record and store speeds for individual players, date and time stamp speeds, alarm on set speeds, and more.
- Page 4 There is a delay between readings of about 3 seconds and the RED LED will turn off during this delay when a reading is recorded and then turn back on after this 3 second delay. When the READING LED is on, the DT100 is ready to take a reading.

For optimum accuracy to eliminate the COSINE error, if a line were drawn extending the line of flight of the ball and the DT100 was positioned on this line (a collision course) the speed measurement would be accurate to the accuracy of the processing device. -
