THE SPACE

MOUNTING TYPES

1. Direct ceiling mount

• See section for Mounting Type A installation process

2. VESA mount (100x100, with rotary joint and adjustable pole/bracket)

• See section for Mounting Type B installation process

To ensure a functional system, select a mounting type for installing your Trackman iO:

• Use Mounting Type A (direct ceiling mount) when the distance between the HITTING SURFACE and the CEILING SURFACE is between 285 cm / 9'4" – 305 cm / 10'0" as listed in the Space requirements.
• If the distance between the HITTING SURFACE and CEILING SURFACE is greater than 305 cm / 10'0", use Mounting Type B VESA mount with adjustable pole/bracket set to the recommended mounting height of 295 cm / 9'8".

Whichever mounting type you choose, both the CEILING SURFACE and the floor must be level. Installing your Trackman iO on a CEILING SURFACE that is not level will affect its performance.

SPACE REQUIREMENTS

• Top of HITTING SURFACE to mounting height (i.e, where Trackman iO is attached to the CEILING SURFACE or VESA mount

Table 1 Mounting height of Trackman iO

• TEE MARKER position to HITTING SCREEN or net. (Recommended minimum distance)

SETUP TYPES

1. Projector and HITTING SCREEN setup

• Image projected on HITTING SCREEN in front of player.

2. PC screen and net setup

• Image shown on separate monitor away from net.

Both mounting types can be used for either setup type A or B.

INSTALLATION MOUNTING SETUP

PREREQUISITES

Keep the protective foil on your Trackman iO and do not insert the power cable until instructed.

MOUNTING TYPE A

INSTALLATION PROCESS

1. Place the tee marker at the preferred tee/ball position on the HITTING SURFACE at least 250cm/8'2" from the HITTING SCREEN/net. If your HITTING SURFACE allows, use the provided tee to fix the position of the tee marker.
   
   Do not remove the tee marker until the entire installation process is complete.
2. Install the 3 AAA batteries in the flashlight and turn it on.
   
   Do not look directly into the light cone.
3. Push the rear end of the flashlight into the flashlight bracket of the calibration board until it stops.
   
4. Set the calibration board on the HITTING SURFACE with the tee marker you placed in Step 1 in the center. The side with the flashlight should be facing the HITTING SCREEN/net.
   Using two golf clubs or alignment sticks on each side of the calibration board, align the calibration board with the preferred target point on the HITTING SCREEN/net.
   Typically, the target point is the vertical center of the /net.
   
   The flashlight beam now indicates where your Trackman iO should be positioned at your CEILING SURFACE.
5. Climb the ladder and use the pen/pencil to draw an "X" on the CEILING SURFACE in the center of the flashlight beam.
   
   Have a person assist by supporting the ladder for safety.
   

6. Now pick up the calibration board/flashlight from the floor and flip it so that the pattern is facing the floor.
   Hold the calibration board against the CEILING SURFACE so that the X you drew in Step 5 is positioned in the center hole. Make sure the calibration board is parallel to the HITTING SCREEN/net. The tee marker you placed in Step 1 should be in the center of the flashlight beam.
   
   Do not remove the tee marker until instructed.

7. Use the pen/pencil to mark the four mounting holes in the calibration board on the CEILING SURFACE.
   
8. Remove the calibration board from the CEILING SURFACE and turn off the flashlight.
9. Choose appropriate drill bit size for your raw plugs/wall anchors and drill four holes. (Eg. concrete ceiling)
10. Insert a raw plug/wall anchor in each of the drilled holes.
11. Gently place your Trackman iO onto a blanket or towel with the back of the device facing up.
    
    
    Do not remove the protective foil on the front cover until instructed.
    
12. Remove the ceiling bracket from the back of your Trackman iO by simultaneously pressing the two release buttons/pins on each side of the bracket housing.
13. Mount the ceiling bracket on the CEILING SURFACE using four screws and the pill-shaped slots. Before tightening the screws, adjust the bracket as needed to make sure it is mounted parallel to the HITTING SCREEN/net. Do not overtighten.
    
14. Using both hands, mount your Trackman iO by lifting it at an angle toward the ceiling bracket and pushing it lightly in place until you hear a click. Do not let go of the unit until you are sure the lock has engaged.
    

15. Now it's time to complete the installation. Skip ahead to the "Powering up your Trackman iO" section.

MOUNTING TYPE B

INSTALLATION PROCESS

BEFORE YOU BEGIN: The following steps will show you how to use your preferred tee marker location to determine the proper position of the VESA mount (100x100) on the CEILING SURFACE. For best results, the adjustable pole/bracket on the VESA mount should be set to the recommended mounting height of 295 cm / 9'8". Please read these instructions carefully and double-check your measurements to ensure they are within the guidelines.

RECOMMENDED: This process is best performed by two people.

1. Place the tee marker at the preferred tee/ball position on the HITTING SURFACE at least 250cm/8'2" from the HITTING SCREEN/net. If your HITTING SURFACE allows, use a tee to fix the position of the tee marker.
   
   Do not remove the tee marker until the entire installation process is complete.
2. Set the calibration board on the HITTING SURFACE with the tee marker in the center. Using two golf clubs or alignment sticks on each side of the calibration board, align the calibration board with the preferred target point on the HITTING SCREEN/net. Typically, the target point is the vertical center of the HITTING SCREEN/net.
3. From the center of the tee marker, measure 102 cm / 3'4" in the direction of the target point on the HITTING SCREEN/net. Mark this spot with an X. This spot represents the center of the VESA mount that will be installed on the ceiling directly above.
   
   
   Have a person assist by supporting the ladder for safety.
4. Now climb the ladder until you can comfortably and safely reach the CEILING SURFACE. Use a plumb line (see NOTE below) extending between the CEILING SURFACE and the HITTING SURFACE to identify the spot on the CEILING SURFACE directly above the X you marked in Step 3. Mark this spot on the CEILING SURFACE with an X.

NOTE: A plumb line, also called a plumb bob, is a length of line or string with a weight attached to the bottom, usually with a pointed tip. It is used as a vertical reference line. You may also use a laser level. (If you do not have access to either of these tools, you may use a heavy duty tape measure; hold the end of the tape to the CEILING SURFACE, then extend the case to the HITTING SURFACE. If using this method, you should also use a level to ensure the tape is vertical.)

5. Position the base of the VESA mount on the CEILING SURFACE so that the center of the adjustable pole extends from the center of the X you marked in Step 4. Attach the base of the VESA mount to the CEILING SURFACE following manufacturer's instructions.
6. Adjust the pole on the VESA mount so that the bracket that attaches to your Trackman iO is set to the recommended mounting height of 295 cm / 9'8" as shown in Table 2 (see NOTE below).

NOTE: Table 2 shows the relation between the mounting height and the proper position of the tee marker on the HITTING SURFACE. Please note that if the mounting height is higher or lower than recommended (but still within the guidelines), you may need to adjust the position of thetee marker slightly. If your Trackman iO is not installed according to the guidelines in Table 2, it may not function properly.

Table 2 Distance from Tee Marker to center of VESA Mount

Have a person assist you fastening the 4 pcs M6 screws while holding the Trackman iO in both hands.

7. Attach your Trackman iO to the VESA mount bracket using the supplied 4 pcs. M6 screws and tighten.
   

2. Connect the AC/DC power adapter to your Trackman iO.

• Connect mains powercable to AC/DC adapter.
• Place the adapter on the shelf of the Trackman iO
• Plug the DC connector into DC power plug on the side of Trackman iO
• Make sure the adapter is fastened to your Trackman iO by the Velcro strips.
  

Be sure to disconnect the AC/DC adapter before unmounting the Trackman iO.

3. Now peel off the protective foils from the front and the lens ofyour Trackman iO. You can now also remove the tee marker from the TEE AREA.
   
4. Connect the power plug from the AC/DC adapter into an appropriate outlet and your Trackman iO will turn on. The status indicator lights will display the current status as shown in Table 3.
