SpeedTrac X Operation Instructions

Printable User Manual

Thank you for purchasing this SpeedTrac X sport radar. The SpeedTrac X sport radar is one of the most exciting and innovative electronic products on the market today and represents the latest technology innovations.

WARNING: USE ONLY THE SPEEDTRAC X AC ADAPTER. USE OF ANY OTHER ADAPTERS (DO NOT USE A SPEEDCHEK ADAPTER) WILL LIKELY RESULT IN SEVERE DAMAGE TO YOUR SPEEDTRAC X AND VOID THE WARRANTY.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT INFORMATION Please read the General Safety Guidelines, and Safe Use Recommendations.

CONTROL PANEL FUNCTIONS & OTHER FEATURES

3-DIGIT LED DISPLAY:

Speeds are displayed for approximately 2-3 seconds before automatically clearing. Note that while the SpeedTrac X sports radar is displaying a speed, you must wait until the display clears to obtain the next speed reading. The bright LED display allows daytime outdoor visibility; however for the best viewing, try to position your unit in shade or partial shade, when using it outdoors in very bright light.

ON/OFF INDICATOR:

By pressing ON, an indicator light beside the MPH button will flash. The flashing light indicated that your SpeedTrac X sports radar is ready to detect and display an object’s speed in MPH. Press the ON/OFF button again to turn the unit OFF.

AUTO SHUT OFF DISABLE:

To disable the Auto Shut Off and leave your unit continually ON for longer periods, at the same time, press both of the MPH and Km/H buttons. This mode of operation is indicated by a double flash of either the MPH or Km/H unit’s indicator light (Auto Shut Off mode is a single flash.). To change back to Auto Shut Off mode, either turn the unit OFF, or press both the MPH and Km/H again. The next time you turn the unit back ON, the Auto Shut Off function is once again activated. It is recommended that you use the optional Power Supply and not batteries, if using the Auto Shut Off Disable function.

PRO-MODE (or “low speed cutoff”):

Targets traveling slower than 35MPH (56 Km/H) are ignored. This is useful for activities where you do not want to accidentally measure slower speed movements when the target is moving quickly, as in measuring golf club head speeds. To activate PRO-MODE operation press both MPH and Recall at the same time, the lower half of the “1” digit (left most digit) flashes along with either the MPH or the Km/H indicator light.

RECALL:

By pushing the “RECALL” button, the sports radar recalls the most recent speed displayed. You can recall the “last” reading any number of times. However, a particular reading will be “lost” once the next speed is registered.

MPH and Km/H:

SpeedTrac X can show speeds in either miles-per-hour (MPH) or kilometers-per-hour (Km/H). To change from the power on default MPH to Km/H, simply press the Km/H button. The unit’s indicator lamps show the current unit of measurement. You can also switch back and forth using “RECALL” to auto convert speeds captured in MPH and display them in Km/H (press “Km/H” then “RECALL” to auto convert from MPH) and visa versa.

INDICATOR LIGHTS (Speed Unit Indicator Lights):

These indicator lights show the current mode of operation of your SpeedTrac X sports radar. Whether the speed is displayed in MPH, Km/H or if the Auto Shut-Off has been disabled.

INTERNAL ANTENNA:

The unit’s internal antenna is located in the top, front center of your SpeedTrac X, between the two sets of switches. Do not block or cover this area when attempting to measure the speed of targets.

CARRYING HANDLE/SUPPORT STAND:

The SpeedTrac X sports radar’s handle is designed for three operation positions: Closed for easy storage, locked at set angle to function as a stand and straight up for carrying and hanging the unit.

TRIPOD MOUNT:

Tripod mount is located on the bottom of the SpeedTrac X unit. Optional Tripod is Part Number 52006.

BATTERY COMPARTMENT:

You can power your SpeedTrac X sports radar with four (4) “C” cell batteries (not included). For longer life, higher quality alkaline batteries are strongly recommended. To install batteries, remove battery compartment cover at the back of the unit. Insert the batteries making sure the plus/minus (+/-) sides match the indicators in the battery compartment. Replace batteries when the unit displays “LO”. If you do not plan to use your SpeedTrac X sports radar for extended periods of time, remove batteries to prevent potential damage caused by leakage and/or corrosion. CAUTION: Use of rechargeable batteries can harm your SpeedTrac X and will void your warranty.

DC POWER JACK:

You can also power your SpeedTrac X sports radar from an AC power source (household-type, wall source electricity) by connecting an optional, custom SpeedTrac X AC wall adapter (available from EMG Companies, Inc. – see enclosed order form) to the connector jack located on the side of the SpeedTrac X unit. CAUTION: Use of any other AC adapter (including a “SpeedChek” AC adapter) may result in erratic performance or will DAMAGE your SpeedTrac X sports radar and VOID your warranty. Use extreme care.

HOW THE SPEEDTRAC X WORKS

The SpeedTrac X sports radar utilizes X-Band DRO Doppler Shift radar technology to clock speeds. The internally located antenna, when activated, sends out a radio frequency (RF) signal at a specific frequency. The signal projects from the unit like a flashlight beam, decreasing in strength with distance. If a moving object, like a thrown ball, enters the device’s transmitted signal, the frequency of the reflected signal of the ball is changed or shifted This frequency change is proportional to the ball’s speed, and the SpeedTrac X sports radar’s internal circuits instantly process the return signal to display speed in your choice of either MPH or Km/H.

The SpeedTrac X sports radar’s projected signal is able to pass, unaffected through certain materials, such as netting, wire mesh fencing, tarps or backdrops, and Plexiglas. This allows you to put a protective barrier between the moving target object and your SpeedTrac X sports radar, without affecting speed measuring performance (a recommended precautionary procedure.)

ANGLE ERROR The SpeedTrac X sports radar displays the speed at which a target object moves in line with the unit’s projected signal. A target passing at an angle through the signal will result in a displayed speed that is lower than the target’s true speed. As an example of the magnitude of error potential, a 10º entry angle reduces the actual speed by about 2%. Objects traveling at 90º (perpendicular) to the signal may be ignored by the SpeedTrac X (no speed displayed). SPEEDTRAC X SET-UP FOR MAXIMUM ACCURACY AND REPEATABILITY Maximum accuracy and repeatability is obtained when the SpeedTrac X sports radar is positioned behind a net into which objects are thrown or struck into with the SpeedTrac being used as the “target”. Also, of importance is that the net in front of the SpeedTrac X sports radar prevents the SpeedTrac from being struck by the thrown or struck object. Using the SpeedTrac in this manner allows speed measurement accuracies comparable to the highest priced radar guns (+/- 1 MPH).
